I still don't think anything can necessarily be ruled out, except maybe a 200+ ft ride. Just because it would be hard to make a particular ride fit doesn't mean the park isn't willing to move other things we're don't know about yet, or that there won't be some new model coming next year that would fit in the space better. Or just because you think we're getting a few flats doesn't automatically mean it's going to be Gotham City or Bugs Bunny Boomtown. Until we get a little more direction, I still feel totally confused as to what it's going to be (and that's exciting!)

I feel the same exact way. I'm sure we will be hearing from the park soon.

I would suspect the vast majority of people who visit Six Flags St Louis in a year never go to another Six Flags park, or even another theme park in general. So why should they not get a ride just because another park had it first?
No teaser. ok I think we will get a double feature, super loop in rc old spot, and a Zamperla endevor in erc spot, I think jesters will stay, new coaster either 2018 or 2019
I really wish people (here and elsewhere) were clearer about what's a "rumor" from a possibly credible source and what's just an idea totally from their own head. To me, any "rumor" that does nothing but take what we already have heard and slightly adds to it, and doesn't give a source at all, is just total worthless fantasy...
Okay...so one member was asking to differentiate the rumors:
My "rumors" come from a credible source! These are not just things made up in my head!
•Orbit and jesters permanently removed •ERC and Train temporarily close with ERC relocating to Orbits spot. •ERC, Cajun and Jesters spot used for a new 4D Zacspin style coaster (might not be the Zacspin model but that type of Free Fly model) •might be another flat as well but not sure about that.
Very highly doubt they retheme Mardi Gras cause a Gotham theme doesn't fit with Great America. Great America is suppose to highlight different parts of our country, Gotham doesn't fit that.
It's possible that there's more to it than just the 4D coaster since that's a lot of land. But Orbit and Jesters should have closed permanently today. ERC and train as well but only for remainder of year.
Not announcing Orbit is really no big deal. The general public is not going to flock to great America to ride a 40 year old ride that can be found at any carnival. Jesters was the biggest waste of space in the park. Glad that's gone.

It would make more sense to install an s&s free spin because six flags knows it works, i doubt the zac spin will ever be installed again.
Not buying this Free-spin rumor at all. SFGAm doesn't need a coaster like this. SFGAm all ready has X-Flight, which is slightly similar (The wing feature :p). There are parks that could really benefit from a coaster like this. (SFSTL, La Ronde, Great Escape) Then there's park that just haven't gotten a coaster in a really long time (SFOT) who deserve one.
I'm not going to lie, I kind of wish Ragin Cajun never left. I know it had terrible capacity, but I really enjoyed my one ride on it during Fright Fest 2013, plus had really nice theming (Station, queue, cars, etc.). If the park thought for two more seconds before deciding to add a second wild mouse in the same park, let alone 500 feet from each other, then we wouldn't have this problem.

It's silly to say that X-Flight and a Free-spin are too similar when the park has four wooden coasters which are all more similar to each other than X-Flight and a Free-Spin would be.
As for Ragin Cajun, what is "this problem" that you're referring to? There was no problem that forced them to remove Ragin Cajun, it was just a money thing. Do you think that would have been any different if they had built TDK somewhere else in the park?
That's not what I meant. I meant the park could've just kept Ragin Cajun had TDK not been built and we wouldn't have to worry about it's spot being filled.

I personally like TDK better, rc was fun but it hurt
