Six Flags Great Adventure 2015 - El Diablo

I'll have pictures up by today when I get permission. I will also be heading to the park Thursday so I will have pics for sure, but there are definitely red and orange spray-painted construction markers in Old Kingdom!

EDIT: Here are some pics others took at the park yesterday.







EDIT EDIT: I can indeed confirm everything seen above as I saw it for myself today.

El Diablo testing has begun.

For 2016 they are getting another Superloop that goes the other direction ok.

Keep us in the loop! Larson's Loops are getting much hotter than before they get built! Surroundings may greatly change the ride's image! (We were saying like meh or something like no!!!!)

i lol'd pretty hard at this

I don't have pictures as my phone is broken, but they installed the flames on top of El Diablo today while I was at the park. It looks better now. I'll see if I can find a pic someone else took.

Yea, I meant to comment on this, but the ride was put together in like 6 hours, and then tested full cycles 2 days later. Training is supposed to start this week, and then the ride will sit ready for 1 month and then open on memorial day weekend.

So, they're seriously just going to let it sit there for a month before they open it? Typical Six Flags...

Yep, they are, all for marketing.

Update for today:
-El Diablo's queue was completed (a few days ago) and they added more flame cutouts to the area.
-The log flume is now open!
-There is a LOT of surveying and marking going on in Old Country. There are stakes in the ground and a lot of trees have been marked. A source asked a worker what this was for, and they said that they were marking out the the water wines for when they start digging in the area. Guys, I think we know where the next attraction is going!

Saw this rumor on Screamscape about a possible new coaster for next year at SFGAdv. Not sure what to think of this, although it could be related to the last picture in the above post.

2016 - New Roller Coaster - Rumor - (5/5/15) A series of photos posted to the "Six Flags Great Adventure Insider Updates" shows off not only the park's new El Diablo super loop under construction, but some Surveyor equipment elsewhere in the park which apparently is somewhere between the water tower and the Picnic Grove.
This is where things get interesting however, as one rumor for 2016 coming to light suggests that the park may be planning on adding their own B&M Launched Wing Coaster, similar in Holiday World's Thunderbird. According to the rumor, one line of thought may be to somehow reuse the old Chiller station structure for the new coaster (it's wide enough, as it did used to hold two side-by-side launched coasters) and maybe even have the coaster launch out and through the old Observatory structure, which is also still standing, with the rest of the layout running somewhere between here and the water tower area and back.
Sounds like a an interesting idea to me, as it would be nice to see this section of the park brought back to life again. We'll have to wait and see what other rumors develop this season.

^Yup. It's included in the FB post he cited. Clearly a revival of Old Country is in the works

[TTD03]

After further investigation, the screamscape info might be false because surveyors have been seen on site for the solar panels.

[Paradox]

I'm guessing that an insane attraction is going to be built. This attraction is:

Solar panels in the woods to decrease pollution! 2016 is going to be epic!

^I always like to say, "the stairs are the most intense part of the ride"

[TTD03]

We have a new topic for the 2016 speculation here!

Photo update!
The sign and the little devil that was created for us looks amazing!

Thanks to C.J Gascoyne for the photo

Looks pretty nice for Six Flags.

"loop coaster"

Am I the only one to think the ride sign looks like Tatsu's?

It's the most theming Six Flags has ever done on a ride

^Check out the queue for SFFT's Batman.

^ they theme thier coasters from time to time but the flat rides get nothing
