michaellynn4 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Aren't there usually 12 cars on a scrambler? That's true, but Great Adventure already has a Scrambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hmm...I'm not seeing how that would stop Six Flags from buying a scrambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 12 shade canopies in the queue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hmm...I'm not seeing how that would stop Six Flags from buying a scrambler. New for 2020, a Giant Inverted Scrambler directly across from the regular scrambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Actually they're buying 12 scramblers. World record, most scramblers in one park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Since it's the #12 with confetti in the background couldn't it just be that many days until the announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I like Scramblers. By far my favorite ride when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherrrrz Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Since it's the #12 with confetti in the background couldn't it just be that many days until the announcement? That's my thought, the 2 does seem to give me Riddler vibes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Maybe clue #3 will have an orange M... R M C That would be awesome, but I don't think the GP would get it. My thought is that they would want to tease something that would also be meaningful to the GP, but maybe (hopefully?? an RMC would be rad!) I'm wrong. Someone on Twitter pointed out that the letters could be spelling "Creature" and the theme is the Jersey Devil. I had to look it up but it looks like a pretty solid folklore creature to theme a ride off of. The park mentioned they will give clues on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with the announcement being the 29th. That leaves 5 more days of clues before the announcement, or 7 letters (8 if you count the announcement as being the final letter) if each clue is a letter. "Creature" sure fits that bill. I guess we'll see today what the third clue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG-77 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The creature theory is coming together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The reasons I haven't been sold on "Creature" yet are because: - There are six clues. Creature has seven letters. - They advertised this as a "scramble". Why would they release each letter in order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I'm thinking more about the Two Face story. Complex duality could be his split personalities. Chance and fate are his obsession. The creature in the trees could be a bat. So perhaps a reference to batman. Perhaps dueling coasters. Batman vs. Two Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfan Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Perhaps this could also be a dueling Intamin like the one that opened in China. I know folks want the Raptors but I'd argue that Intamins design would result in more riders per hour which is something that a busy park like SFGA would benefit from.

I know folks want the Raptors but I'd argue that Intamins design would result in more riders per hour which is something that a busy park like SFGA would benefit from. While this addition would be something all of us would enjoy, looking at Six Flags' previous installations they side with manufacturers that they work with in bulk to deliver low to medium cost coasters such as the Premier launch models and S&S free spins and launched coasters. They haven't worked with Intamin since Green Lantern: First Flight at SFMM, and based on how well that turned out and the historically high cost of Intamin installations, as well as less of a focus on capacity even at large parks with the addition of coasters like the free spins and Maxx Force. As much as I'd love to see a new Intamin in the US, I suspect this is a Premier coaster similar to WCR or an RMC product of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm leaning towards an S&S similar to Maxx Force, just based on Six Flags' pattern of ordering in bulk and S&S's recent photo they posted of new ride track that looked Maxx Force-ish.

Brassinthegrass Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I agree with the WCR idea... it fits better into the line up. We don’t need another extreme launched ride, we need something more we’ll rounded for a family aspect of rides. Although us enthusiasts would love another intense launch, an opportunity to put a launched ride in the intensity line up between Bizzaro and day Superman is more in line with that is needed at the park.

Maybe but then again S&S has alot of work in China as well so the track may be going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Clue #4: Guess this confirms the rumors of Congo Rapids leaving! Maybe time to get your last rides in! EDIT: Okay, actually, after giving it a quick thought, I think this refers to the Adventure Rivers section that left many years ago. I don't think this outright confirms Congo Rapids is leaving yet.

KBrylczyk Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Riptide's footprint finally being utilized? It's clearly gonna be in that area of the park, just a matter of where exactly and how large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 ^ I've never been to SFGAd. Where in the park would that be located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
