So, no topic has been made on the two new Gerstlauer Spinners that have been purchased by Six Flags for the 2007 season. Here is what I know:

1. Two spinners have been purchased by SF
2. Supposedly they are heading to SFFT and SFSTL. At SFSTL there are construction markers, and at SFFT a construction wall has been put up for the boardwalk area, as seen here:

Screamscape sources have confirmed that SFFT's attraction will use the Joker's fun house, which once was a coaster station.

3. Shapiro said in a San Antonio news paper that a large family attraction was coming for 2007. In addition, SFFT is one of his personal favorite parks.

4. Screamscape claims that SF is close to making a deal with FOX to theme the rides after the cartoon Ice Age.

So, what do you guys think?

And last time I checked, ESPN is highly profitable and one of the most recognizable names in the sports industry...wait, it IS the sports industry - for the most part.

So, dark ride or crappy ice age theming?
I hope dark ride, although, that is a little unrealistic if it is in fact suppose to open up next year, seeing as how dark rides generally take awhile to plan and build.
