boardwalkbullet91507 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Wow, SFFT is NOT going stingy with the teasing. (Not complaining) I don't want to say "it's safe to say we're getting _______", but so far it seems like we're getting what we think we are.
robbalvey Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I really hope they are trolling everyone with the Aeroplane video thing...with the wood, song (long long ago), height, and airplane ride in front. Would be pretty funny actually! I really hope so, too. Look, no offense, Six Flags, but you've never really been that great at taking care of wooden roller coasters. Why do you think Rattler and all those other older SF woodies needed a re-do? Look what happened the last time you guys cloned a "classic" ride. Two of those Cyclones are now gone (one was ranked one of the worst roller coasters in the world), one is actually decent, and the other one still could use a complete RMC re-tracking. I'm just hoping that if this is true, they learn from those mistakes. Terminator was not running so well last year and that ride is only 5 years old. --Robb "Just not sure a traditional wood coaster is the right fit for Six Flags...sorry!"

tnemec07 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 After looking around a little bt i think it could be something from dynamoc attractions...just a hunch
CoasterGuy2000 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I'm hoping its a woody because we need more of them but ya they really do need to take better care of it.

Alvey To be honest, You could probably say that about other companies as well. Busch (Gwazi) and Cedar Fair (You decide)
Jhcbiinoc Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I am wondering if this could be one of the new S&S Free Fly X coasters...
RyanGsatMCO Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 This is too much fun... Back in 2005, in one of the Fright Fest shows, they had John Denver Leaving on a Jet Plane not knowing when he would be back again... Maybe that joke has come full circle!! New In 2015 "John Denver: The Return on Aeroplane: The Ride"
vacoaster09 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 92.5 and the picture of the wood... looks like the antique cars are out and a wooden coaster is in. from RCDB.com However, what if RMC is building this from scratch using topper track? I'd love for it to be a GCI though! I'm with Rob... where if its GCI I hope that they maintain it....
Ducky dude Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 SFFT twitter: #SFFT2015 What could be happening in relation to this balloon?
RMC_Hoodie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 If you want my hypothesis, Cyclone from SFNE is coming to the park.
coasterchitchat Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 If you want my hypothesis, Cyclone from SFNE is coming to the park. NO! SFNE Cyclone's is being RMCed.

Alvey I'm guessing the one that needs a complete retracking is GA Cyclone and the decent one is Viper?
RMC_Hoodie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 If you want my hypothesis, Cyclone from SFNE is coming to the park. NO! SFNE Cyclone's is being RMCed. That hasn't been confirmed yet. Instead of I-Boxing Cyclone, they might create a new wooden coaster from scratch. There is some land clearing going on across the street, which may be for storage space to replace the warehouse in front of Cyclone, which would need to be removed in order to accommodate a Goliath-type coaster. That balloon appears to be about Cyclone's height. "Texas Cyclone" is at least a possibility.
gecomet92 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Cyclone is 112 feet that's a 20 foot difference from the balloon. Not to mention Cyclone is about to fall down, there is no way it would make a move across the country without new supports. Enough said it's not happening.
tnemec07 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Update i was just at the park today and i noticed another shop with a for sale sign. they also change them to look more legit.
bert425 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 man, that is gonna SUCK if they destroy the theming of Rockville, just for a new ride

Not to mention Cyclone is about to fall down, there is no way it would make a move across the country without new supports. Enough said it's not happening. I didn't know that there was an exact height. I just remember Screamscape guessing it was about 92.5 feet. And of course it would get new supports. Remember, ACE was mentioned in one of the clues, and there is an ACE logo on the SFNE map next to Cyclone.
_IntaMAN_ Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 ^ Yeah I don't think SF wants to invest in moving Cyclone especially in such condition it is. I'm going to go with Bogus on your predictions.
RMC_Hoodie Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 ^ Yeah I don't think SF wants to invest in moving Cyclone especially in such condition it is. I'm going to go with Bogus on your predictions. Yeah, it probably would be cheaper to give Cyclone the I-Box treatment and build a new wooden coaster at Fiesta Texas than it would be to build a new Goliath-style coaster and relocate Cyclone. *EDIT* How much did Goliath cost?
richtrav Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Obviously they're going to buy Phoenix from Knoebel's and relocate it back to its rightful home in San Antonio. The lift will be restored to its original height of 92.5 feet and it will be called The Phocket. Seriously though, did anyone notice that the balloon picture they posted the other day was leaning a bit, as was the picture itself (very close to 2.5 degrees off of vertical). Hmmmm.

Would Six Flags be that subtle? Maybe...
CoasterGuy2000 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 It's gonna be a either a euro fighter or the less likely option: Beyond vertical drop RMC Woodie.
Texasbest2015 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Is knoebols getting rid of the phoniex? And be euro fighter gurus alter is not in good terms with six flags right now!
