Blue Hawk - Six Flags Over Georgia

On the 2016 SFOG park map, in the spot where Ninja currently sits, I noticed that the coaster is showing blue track and white supports (instead of the regular red and black). In the attractions list, it reads "The All New Ninja: Coming Late Spring 2016!" The details are vague, but it looks like Ninja will be getting some changes for 2016, with at least one of them being a new paint scheme.

It's been pretty much unofficially confirmed it's getting new trains too.

Lapbars?

Good thing they aren't getting rid of it. The butterfly inversion is beautiful.

Always had a soft spot for that hunk'o'crap. Sort of the prototype of the SLC layout in many ways.

Ninja at SFOG is exactly like the action-packed "Goudurix"!

Woo, hopefully new trains!

If I remember correctly, it received actual arrow trains several years ago to replace the vekoma trains it had originally, yes? maybe new mk-900 or mk-1200 trains? that would be awesome!

The new train would even get an OTSR, I think, due to reach envelope issues.

If it's like those MK1200's they are restrictive enough for envelope issues and free enough with the comfortable vest restraint.

Blue and red track parts... Then are those supports going to be all white so that coaster looks like the Great American Scream "Ninja"?

Good to know it's starting! Hopefully it's more then a coat of paint.

@sfovergeorgia: "NINJA" UPDATE: Painting ~70% done. We have narrowed the new coaster name to 3 choices. Any guesses? #SFOGThrills

Captain America themed ride?

SF has a partnership with DC, not Marvel.
Predicting that the ride will be renamed Z-Force.

This roller coaster is not good.

The names are all meh, but at least they didn't do something like CoastR lol

Make Ninja great again!
Vote Blue Hawk!

These names are even worse than the ones for BGW's 2017 coaster.

At least all the names are spelt correctly

Wow, they're renaming it?

Well, if the Mack's looper at Europa Park was not built, they would name this Vekoma like "Blue Fire".
