Six Flags Over Texas 2015 - Battle For Metropolis

[Mr. Freeze]

I'm not real sure if anyone has started a thread for this yet, but if not, here it is.
Six Flags Over Texas released this new picture today on their facebook and twitter page. If you look closely at it, there is a design for something to the left, it kinda looks like a giant mister fan, but who knows, just speculating. There are also banners in Pandemonium's que line that were there when they were retheming it from the previous Tony Hawks Big Spin ride clone. This is going to be interesting to find out on August 28th/29th (not real sure on the date). Once again, this is only speculation for the new ride in 2015, but if those are the plans, looks like we will see a new coaster in sight for Six Flags Over Texas.

The Texas Thrill Seekers group has found some more clues within the picture. If you look closely at the picture, the ACE logo and the TTS logo are visible.

I see....

Batman

[Mr. Freeze]

Its vaigly visible. Have to have settings set just right and zoomed in tremendously to see them

[TTD03]

Too much work, will wait for easier clues from the park to come out

This is an interesting picture, because the work that they are doing is in the building that is directly behind where the photographer was standing.

We know that the 3D theater (Formerly The Right Stuff, Dino Island, Spongebob, etc) was gutted, and that footers have been installed throughout. They also extend directly behind the building into then lower reservoir basin of the Roaring Rapids. This is the area that is behind the trees across from Superman: Tower of Power, behind Newmans Hot Dogs, and extending all the way under the Dive Bomber Alley ride and boomtown games. Which of course, is next to the building in question.

Are they implying with a picture like this, of some how extending Pandemonium? The footers are about the size of those used on that ride.

Would be weird, but possible I guess.

Eurofighter!

I'm not exactly sure what they are implying in this picture. The theater is completely gutted and the lights have been on inside, but that is all that you can see as the entrance from the main walkway is temporarily walled off with those foldable walls

Heres some update stuff I found on it.

TL;DR Highlights

'RMC van's were seen moving in and out of the park.'
'Track, not supports, have been removed very carefully throughout the track'
'Entire Brake run, Station, and turn track's are gone'.

August 28th, guys..

Interesting, offtopic but, I really want to know what Great Adventure is doing, whatever it is, they have done a real good job at keeping quiet and not showing anything.

^
Might not be that big, I think we would heard about something by now right? Plus the just put in a world record, so they can coast on that record for another year at least.
Then again, SFMM put in their record drop tower in 2012 right? Then put in the underrated Full throttle in 2013. So who knows?
Does the park need or is missing a coaster type?

[TTD03]

It's missing just a "new" coaster.
El Toro was the last "New" install. They are becoming as bad as Dorney with their last install being 2005.
We just need a Giga coaster to make it the best coaster line up on the East Coast.
I don't consider CP on the east coast really, it's more inland

I feel with Nitro being so praised as a hyper, and El Toro being so praised for its airtime, steep drop, and general awesomeness, a Giga coaster is not a smart move by the park. The park has filled the need for a what a Giga coaster includes. A right move for the park would be a flying coaster, wing rider, 4D, something that gives the park more diversity. One reason I love SFMM, the coasters are diverse, and some are rare.
SFGAdv is awsome with its line up already! To have the best coaster line up on the east coast, you need rarer type of coasters you can't find so common. The park has plenty so far, but what's it missing?

[TTD03]

Well, they already have a flying coaster, Superman, and I'm not so sure how popular a 4D would be, but guess it's possible, a Wingrider would be cool, but it's not diverse since CP is not too far away, so I'm not sure what is needed.

they already are clearing out the shopping center and flattening out the flash back area so it seems either a new area with multiple things or just a super sized coaster>>

n wwith this kinda work you know there up to something if there clearing it all out now>>>

[Mr. Freeze]

they could be clearing it out for future projects within the coming years

[TTD03]

Guess I haven't really noticed the clearing out of that area, will have to look next time I go

Looks to be a dark ride.

Sorry about my post, I meant for it to go in the SFNE topic.

[TTD03]

Welp, almost definitely confirms it now.

[TTD03]

Cool! Have fun!

It is basically Six Flags response to Wonder Mountain's Guardian. A 3D dark shooting ride themed on Superman. I honestly think WMG is better.
