There's a sinister part of me that still thinks it's a demon refurb lol but many of these teasers wouldn't make sense. Then again, I'm not really seeing a connection as is so I know nothing lol

I hope a Demon refurb is part of the 2025 plan! Bring back the original sign. Get some new trains with lap bars only. Maybe add some flame effects by the corkscrews. They did a really good job with Poltergeist at Fiesta Texas, I would love to see Demon get the same treatment!
Imagine they redo all the rock work, make it better than it's ever looked & entering the mouth of the demon has a fire effect like they did to Colossos at Heide Park!

So let’s leave it with chipping paint, no rocks, no waterfall, bad restraints, and old lights in the tunnel [emoji24][emoji24]? I think Demon could really benefit from a proper rehaul.
I agree. If they want to keep it, I can see them doing a lot for it. Busch loved Lochness enough to make it feel like a new ride. The new thematics & track are impressive. I adored it.

When the first teasers started rolling out, I thought that it could have been a Demon refurb where they renamed the whole ride “Wrath of Raksasha.” Maybe the plot has the titular demon call in the help of Raksasha to help scare riders away from the attraction after his work failed and made the ride more popular. Thus, the park did not learn their lesson about making payments for the coaster on time since instead of scaring riders away from the attraction, making it unprofitable, the demon actually made the ride more popular.
With this whole Demon theme that it seems to going for I wonder if that whole area of the park is going to be re-themed into like a haunted woods or something. Maybe the could also fit a small flat ride in there somewhere as well. Crazier things have happened and the last couple of years Six Flags had been re-theming areas in their parks

Yes! Something like Haunted trails. It would be cool if they could somehow fit the Hotel Dry gulch from Daffy Ducks Quack busters in there somehow

I didn't mean it like that
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

Sorry but this isn’t going to happen! They would have had to go to the Village for a height variance and they haven’t so we know it will be under 200ft. Longest drop would have to break 245ft, which also means it can’t take the speed record either.
Most likely the seven clue was because it’s 7 across seating on the Mini Dive Trains.

Well if it's a Junior Dive I don't think I want it. What's the point? They "Could" have it 200 feet tall and go underground 50 feet = 250 foot drop? As for the height variance I've heard 2 different stories on this very site: 1) Anything not taller than Sky Trek does NOT need a height variance permit . 2) Anything over a height of either 125 or 150 needs a height variance permit.
I believe this has already been settled that it's the former of these 2 (option 1) ......

^ I hear something different every time the height thing is brought up. I understand that the laws and requirements have changed over the years but how come there wasn’t anything about Sky Striker or Maxx Force’s heights?

Guys I’ve posted on this I did the research!
Anything over 200ft needs a height variance from the village. It was changed from previously being 125ft. That is why Sky Striker & Max Force didn’t require one. The last one granted was for Goliath.
If it’s the largest addition in 6 years that means it taller then Maxx Force, right? So taller than 175ft? Next year would be 6 years so that means they’re talking about Maxx Force since that debuted in 2019.
I like Marcus’ idea from the letters All the capital spell out Rakshasa
Then there are 7 s remaining There are 2 a remaining And 1 r remaining
If it’s biggest in 6 years maybe it’s 217ft? Or maybe they’re just speaking biggest investment in 6 years so it’s 172ft
I haven't been on here in ages. But Im placing my final guess considering yesterday's teaser was most likely the last one. Stats are based on what has been teased and what you all have uncovered. Not everything has been revealed from what I can tell, so some things are left blank. The elements I have listed obviously won't be what is featured. I just took what Iron Menace at Dorney Park has and added an extra inversion to get the 5 we think it will have.
