Jerrykoala2112 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This may have been mentioned, but is there a scheduled announcement date? I would be really shocked if GA installed a second new roller coaster in three years. However, I'd gladly take it. Considering the park didn't get a major installation for nine years before X-Flight (I don't consider BTDK a major installation), I would really like to see this more aggressive capital investment. There is a zone board meeting on the 21st (SFGAM has to get anything above 125ft approved by Gurnee) but it's supposed to announced along with all other Six Flags additions on August 29th.

Vonni Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 ^That's what I always assumed. The actual restriction states that the Village of Gurnee has to approve anything over 125 feet, and can build nothing taller than Sky Trek Tower (330 feet). Which means a Giga is possible in the future! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkscrewFoley Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm guessing it might be a dark ride, but I have been wrong before...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmelMatt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Looking at Google Maps, Southwest Amphitheater is in a strange place to be removed to be of any addition to the current Eagle layout if that's what's being worked on, and I can't see them dramatically changing American Eagle, by all means the structural landmark of SFGAm... What about a roller coaster (preferably RMC) that duels with both sides of American Eagle? That would explain why they would gut that area by the ampitheater in proximity to Giant Drop, and at the same time why they would be surveying over by Eagle? And they would close the blue side as a matter of safety to begin construction while being able to leave the red side open depending on where they are doing the construction. Or is that too high-concept for Six Flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrykoala2112 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Now why would a RMC worker be on the entrance/exit path instead of the service road? They should be on the service road instead. And what are the chances a Coaster Enthusiast would be there at the same EXACT time they are there? Bull crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBears Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I need to get myself one of those Rocky Mountain hoodies so I can go around to different wooden coasters around the country and have fun on some forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) You know, I remember when everyone was calling BS on all the Banshee rumors. There are two coaster enthusiast up by Chicago who claim to know what the plans are for 2014. I'm going to assume it's one of them. I'm going to refrain from posting their facebook page, because I hate to ruin all their fun! Edited August 16, 2013 by ZeroGravity55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM64 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) If you check out RMC's Facebook page, they have a photo of that exact hoodie in the Screamscape photos and tell you how anyone can order one. The photo seems to me to be a fake made by an enthusiast who ordered the hoodie and took the pictures to mess with everyone, and it explains why he's only in the queue line. Here is the photo from the RMC Facebook page- the hoodie in the Screamscape photo is clearly the exact hoodie RMC offers for sale: Rocky Mountain Construction hoodie EDIT- Just have to add- the nerd in me really wants to order that RMC beanie!

Vonni Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Also, a hoodie in August? I dont think an employee from RMC would be wearing a hoodie in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Also, a hoodie in August? I dont think an employee from RMC would be wearing a hoodie in August. It has been quite cool here in Illinois for the last few days. Very weird for August, but you're right. It hasn't been cold enough to warrant a hoodie.

LoopScreweD Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think the guy was just wearing the hoodie to drive the point RMC is a coming, and the other pic tells the employees the last rides for eagle are August 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm going to go to the park tomorrow and write Intamin on my face with a sharpie so Screamscape will think I'm an Intamin engineer. Seriously, that picture is so fake and I really think anything regarding Eagle is red herring. None of the clues in the videos relate to anything with Eagle and there is more evidence against it. I will be thoroughly shocked if any 2014 plans have to do with Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfgam_Bong66 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well I havnt heard officially any last ride events for eagle from any supervisors or even leads... Also if it was a last ride event on eagle it would be within the whole rides department, not just the eagle crew. And also the flier should read American eagle crew, not team members.. But if any of this is true ill let yall know what i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I really hope the park doesn't go all Kings Island and makes up a fake logo and webpage to try and add more speculation. In my opinion, that almost confirmed it was Banshee and would do the same for this supposed Blue Iron Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoopScreweD Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Anybody check out the new video on the parks Facebook it has the same guy from the last on take a picture of a folder with 3 Guinness book of records papers inside implying 3 records.

ZeroGravity55 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think all these photos are definitely questionable. That being said, Lance over at Screamscape isn't stupid. I don't think he would have posted these photos if they didn't have some type merit behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 ^ I agree. Lance just reports, whether it is a rumor (strong or weak), speculation, or confirmation. And I appreciate him for it. I mean hell, the speculation, no matter how crazy, is part of the fun of being an enthusiast to me! I love seeing what people guess. But thats just my opinion. I know a lot of enthusiasts dont like the speculation, and prefer the rock hard evidence. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
