If they were to rmc it, they'd probably only I-box cause I can't imagine the board letting them do all that construction that close to Washington street (particularly the red side) if they were to do the complete overhaul, and that would gives us 2 RMCs within like 50 feet of eachother and leave the park with only one true woodie

American Eagle is great as a woodie. I really hated when that rumor came around last year or whenever it was because I was afraid that the whole reason why the coaster is loved by many is because of the classic wooden coaster that it is. And plus now we got Goliath so we don't need two RMC's in one park. That's why American Eagle should not get the Iron Horse. But it sure can get retracked to get smoother and a paint job to make it look nicer. Other than that American Eagle should be untouched.

I Guess Thats True, Considering It's My Second Favorite Coaster
I think it's inevitable for Eagle due to the construction limitations in that area of the park. They can modify Eagle, but they can't completely redevelop that space if it's torn down.
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
This is probably a pointless observation and I really have no idea what to think of it... but when you look on the park map between Aunt Martha's and SWA is one of the paths to SWT and when you look between Demon and the Pictorium you see the other... and it says "choose your path" So I'm wondering if one of those paths is going to be improved/redesigned. I'd honestly hate to see the Southwest Games go away. Am I the only one? Anyway, I don't know if this is even considerable, but it's a thought.

A lot of what you'll read about SLCs online is more or less the coaster community's version of a lame, runaway meme. I've ridden 8 examples, and while none of them were Batman The Ride, none of them will make fun of your mom and give you ebola, either. If you've been on Deja Vu and use that as a reference, they're just a little bouncier with the transitions being more abrupt (mostly just because of the layout).

Good news, and great to hear that Demon is regarded as a signature attraction by the park. Hopefully it has many years left. I'd imagine it shouldn't be hard to find replacement Arrow parts for a while anyway.
Hmm. They could use that spot for a flat ride (maybe a new up charge thing to replace the money from the ropes?) or if they combined it with BB (which is what they clearly want us to think) it's a pretty decent sized area. There are only two of these left, so it seems possible that the next one could be BB leaving and the last one could be an actual hint towards a ride (or they could still be messing with us). Whatever it is, I can't imagine its anything that great, otherwise they'd be teasing what it is, not just what it's not replacing.
Flat ride in Sky Trail's spot and general park improvements including new paint for some rides and buildings
It can be a sky flyer, just like the rest of parks, in the spot. It's called Great American SkyScreamer (GAS). NOT water-based teacup ride, such as Aqua Twist.
I haven't watched the video yet but I was just on the train, & found it really weird that on the fence on the left side of the train a random sign said "visit Buccaneer Battle" .... Now that was the only sign that I saw, is this old or new?!

As previously established, they are NOT building a SkyScreamer for 2015 due to the height limits. I mean, it's possible they would take the ropes out now and leave it empty for 2015 and build a ride there in 2016, I just don't really see why they would do that.
I'll do cartwheels the day B Battle is torn out, lol. They have been doing alot to revitalize County fair over the past few years, hell X-Flight and Goliath really helped jolt that area of the park back to life. Whatever happens in 2015 I don't think it will dissapoint
^ I think we could, because they've built two of them recently, but I hope we don't. They're fun, but they're really low capacity.

That's been there for a while, probably since BB opened.
