^This is true, I was talking in terms of Intamin's more recent plug-n-play style wood coasters though

I don't understand where Intamin comes into this, I know they've made one woodie in the past for Six Flags and have all of their other amazing woodies at other parks, but did they ever specify in any concepts or interviews that they'd be willing to experiment with inversions on woodies? I'd go with RMC since Six Flags hasn't built any Gravity Group coaters in the past

I would if I were back home, I normally live about 15 minutes from Gurnee

^That is an awesome picture, I just wish the train wasn't so blurry So if all of these things are true that people are finding in the videos... this is going to seriously be the best addition at SFGAm in 14 years, maybe even of all time depending on what the coaster is like. I don't want to hop on the bandwagon in case that we got it wrong but it seems like everything lines up so perfect. I hope they don't pick Goliath for a name... anyone else heard other ideas for a possible name?

Alright, here's my take after reading the last 30 pages of this thread and checking other things. Side note, this is my first post on TPR, but have been reading the forums for who knows how many years... I followed SFGAm construction progress on here religiously in 2012, same with Cedar Point in 2013, it's good to finally join I'll go ahead and say with confidence that it's very unlikely that it's a RMC job, it seems like Screamscape or whoever posted those pictures or started the rumors is getting the best of people, and the hoodie pictures are most likely fake judging by the digging that's been done on those hoodies. I'd believe that the reason Eagle Blue Side is closing on the 26th of August (Coincidental date with their announcement? yes, but Viper also stops being backwards on the same date-- so anyways...) is for the backwards transition for the blue side, not because only one side of the coaster is getting an RMC treatment it doesn't need at all... So perhaps they're advertising to mess with us or really just to say get your last ride in on the blue side while it's forwards. So much Yolocoaster talk, the full throttle can in that video, 165 ft, Guinness World Records, the very narrow Iron Wolf plot of land... they're seeming to add up. That type of coaster layout isn't too far from ideal for the space. It would kind of disappoint me in the originality sense to get a similar ride to Full Throttle but with a 165ft loop... after having such a downright awesome, original coaster, X Flight, for the first time since 1999. Yes, every coaster we've gotten since Raging Bull has been a copy of another one. Dislike button So essay aside, I could see a Premier Launched Coaster coming our way, Six Flags seems to have been favoring Premier in some recent years with the Superman coaster at SFMW and Yolocoaster at SFMM. Lastly... does anyone have an actual source for the fate of Ragin Cajun? I never was a fan of the ride nor did I waste much time waiting for it, but one less coaster means more people in other lines. I don't really believe that it's going to go, it takes up roughly... no space and really doesn't have anything negative about it.
