Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread

[booink]

^EDIT: your post made me curious, so I decided to open up GIMP and test the correlation. The colors are not the same and I wasn't able to make the flames pattern fit with the ones of the teaser.

However you're right the two are similar, when I first saw it I was sure you were right!

If it was to be a coaster then that's a lot being added next year by Six Flags!

[coasterchitchat]

Why would a park life Six Flags America get two coaster back to back? That's very un-Six Flags.

 

What about a Tsunami Soaker in Mardi Gras?

[CPSFMMCW]

Why would it say feel the burn if the attraction was a water attraction? And I was t expecting a coaster for a couple more years here, but I will say that does look like coaster track! They must want that 10th coaster fast! I too was expecting a SkyScreamer or a tsunami soaker. Hmmm.

 

Six Flags with their teasers this year. 'Nuff said.

^If it ends up being one of those two, I will have lost all hope in this park's common sense.

[gilly_bob]

Maybe something like the Demon Ride at La Ronde with the hot sauce flames and all!

[Rayj]

What if it's a top spin ride like the demon at la ronde ?

[MagnumFreak25]

I still can't believe that Six Flags built a Flat Ride.

[Highridin]

If this means anything, the president of SFA (Rick Howarth) told me that a lot is going to happen quick over the next 2-3 years at the park. He told me, "With MGM and a few other big economic boosters happening in the area, the park wants to be a part of it." That's a loose quote..lol... I talked to him on opening day while my daughter and I were headed to Wild One.

 

On a side note, my daughter just broke the 54" mark; I was proud...lol.. Her first over 54" ride?; apocalypse. Come on, really? Lol,..she rode all that day, except for JJ of course.

Password, what are you looking forward too? According to their hash tag, I wonder if they are going to squeeze it in the Mardi Gras section. There's very little space left,...for any kind of coaster anyway. I'm looking more forward to going this weekend now. I'm going to do some snooping

Ideally would like a Skycreamer. I'm not saying if it were to be one of those rides I would lose hope, but the teaser doesn't make any sense for those particular rides, which is what would make me lose hope in their common sense, among other things.

[Highridin]

I went to SFOG earlier. There was a ride there called Dare Devil Dive. I wouldn't be shocked if that's what it is. That peak in the pic has me thinking that, along with the fire.

 

[Jcoaster]

Those who are asking why Six Flags would build two coasters in two consecutive years, the spinning wild mouse was a hand-me-down. This would be the parks first totally new coaster in over 10 years. What it could be? I'm not sure i'm stumped seeing Six Flag's recent relations with Gerlauster.

[ArizonaGuy]

SFFT added Pandemonium in 2007 and Goliath in 2008 so sometimes they will do back to back coasters. Wouldn't count on it now but you never know.

[coasterchitchat]

What about the S&S 4D free spin coming to SFA instead of SFFT?

[CPSFMMCW]

The free spin is definitely going to SFFT. No doubt about it. However I'll jump on the flat ride bandwagon. Something like the demon at la ronde would make perfect sense. Either that or like a frisbee ride with a demonic theme.

[coasterchitchat]

I wasn't saying that. I'm just posing that as a possibility even though it won't happen.

[Highridin]

I don't know what that thin line is in the middle of the yellow, but the bottom of the 'O' looks like Dare Devil Dive's logo. At the same time, those could be water sprays in the pic...lol..

To me it looks like we could get a Brain Drain style Super loop.

[GigaG]

Screamscape rumors that SFGAd and maybe some other SF parks would get that. That would be a little weird to see, considering that those are giant versions of Ring of Fire, a ride I typically associate with little carnivals.

Only Six Flags would take a carnival ride and market it as the best thing since sliced bread.

Well the teaser did have flames and the top of a loop.

All credit goes to Screamscape on this one:

Just type Bourbon Street Fireball Six flags on google and read the text under the first link.

I guess that wraps it up

7 Story Loop You say...

[Woodie Warrior]

And yep, they're gonna market it as a roller coaster. Not that surprising though.
