That looks like the rock formation around Demon.

Original demon theming?
And maybe thats what their doing not just with demon but maybe a throw back year where they do some rides in ways they were in years pasts and bring back some old shows granted they already brought back shows the last 2 years.

A few people mentioned getting a modern day version of Sky Whirl.... as much as I would absolutely LOVE to see that, I think it's pretty doubtfull that something that massive would make it's way to the park next year. The price tag for getting something like that made would probably be pretty expensive. If it did, I will upload a video of me doing cartwheels in a bugs bunny mask, lol.

*yawning* It's going to be like a show or something. Don't get me wrong, but we wait until tomorrow is BIG DAY.

I'd love it, not sure how realistic that would be, even if it weren't to happen for the '15 season. I do think, however, that when they eventually put their Star Flyer in, it will be named Sky Whirl.

At this point seeing the logo behind hank id say a throw back year is most likely. Returning rides to past theming.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the 40th anniversary is NEXT year, in 2016. This is kinda speculation for 2016 as well but...because they are doing 40th anniversary stuff this year, could we get something big next year?

Seems pretty unlikely to me they they'd celebrate "40 seasons" AND "40th Anniversary". That's not to say we WON'T get something big in 2016, but I doubt they'd use the "40th anniversary" as a reason (and I do generally doubt we'll get anything especially amazing in 2016 because we did just get 2 major coasters in 3 years and with the way Six Flags seems to operate getting 3 in 5 doesn't seem too likely)

Okay, looking at all the videos again, here are my best guesses. (sorry if I'm repeating things already said.)

SWAT = Return of Batman Stunt Show or SW Stunt Show?

Aunt Martha's = Return of the old restaurant w/ "40" cent bottomless rootbeer?

Pictorum = Screams and Dreams and/or Pov's of coasters of yesteryear?

Demon = Original theming. Hopefully with restored light tunnels, original Demon soundtrack & blood waterfall! (when he said 'concrete' maybe it was a hint to Demon's rock formations)?

Buccaneer Battle = Unless they bust it down to the studs and start over, I got nothin :lol:

*Paint Shop = Painting all over the park to restore it to it's former glory.

Hometown Square = Where the announcement will take place. I see pavers in the video where "David" is sitting and drinking a large rootbeer (I guess that's what he's drinking). Could that be a clue that they're tearing out all the hideous asphalt (at least in hometown square at first) and replacing it with cobblestone/pavers?

Carousel Plaza = Restoring the Carousel to it's original glory (See: Paint Shop*).

(Hopefully there will be a flat ride addition of some sort, but that's just my wishful thinking.)

Ok, so these are all my guesses from the video series. Whatever it is, I like suspense and I appreciate them keeping the fans engaged with these interractive announcement campaigns.

next year is the 40th season. 1-76 2-77 3-78 4-79 5-80 6-81 7-82 8-83 9-84 10-85 11-86 12-87 13-88 14-89 15-90 16-91 17-92 18-93 19-94 20-95 21-96 22-97 23-98 24-99 25-00 26-01 27-02 28-03 29-04 30-05 31-06 32-07 33-08 34-09 35-10 36-11 37-12 38-13 39-14 40-15.
There it is, now we can stop saying next year isn't the 40th.

The root beer was never in that building. As for Screams and Dreams, if it couldn't even last a month this year, it's never coming back.

Yea like someone else said, when babies are born, we don't really say they're 0 years old, but they are still in their first "season" of life lol.

Here's an idea that probably won't happen, but maybe one of the thrill rides will be re-themed to a DC villain theme.

As far as Bunccaner Battle goes, if they don't tear that POS out, perhaps converting it to a Tunnel of Love ride might do it some good, replace those boats with Giant swans and move all the pirate theming to hurricane Harbor. Those rides are rarely found anymore, have that "Marriot era" feel to them, and actually fit the County Fair theme, and would of course be a draw for couples, lol.

I was hoping to cause a little ruckus here on the forums with that, LOL. Yes, I made that logo myself. Like I said, if SFGAm is willing to use a classic logo as the face for thier park, I have high hopes for the other things they will do!
