Theme Park Speculation Thread!

With a ton of speculation threads popping up randomly, I thought I was time to make a thread where all speculation can be discussed! I provided a list of rumored and practically announced rides and roller coasters for people not caught up in the rumor mill!

Practically Annnounced but not Officially Announced Rides and Roller Coasters!

-Dollywood: Shot Rod (Launched wooden coaster (no manufacturer announced (lol probably RMC)))

-Six Flags America: Waterpark Expansion (some slides i guess)

Rumored Rides and Roller Coasters!


-Cedar Point: Valravn (B&M Dive Coaster)

-CGA: Unknown (Vortex floorless conversion)

-Six Flags Great Adventure: Something Big (Something really really big)

I read that was faked.

Shot Rod sounded like a neat ride name!

I'm still betting CP's not getting a dive machine. I mean, its not like they would straight up lie to the press.

^What else would they get? It just seems that everything is pointing to something big, and a dive coaster fits the bill. Though, they may surprise us with something completely unexpected it seems most likely it will be a dive coaster

Strata stand-up floorless infinity aquatrax coaster.

Right now I feel a Mean Streak conversion is more important than a dive machine for CP.

Honestly, there's no way its going to stay how it is now. Its the worst ride in the park, and their on this rampage of fixing everything that isn't perfect so it'll happen eventually. It is running really well this year, the trim used to use three brakes and now only two. Way rougher than it was last year but it gives some floater on the hills and some more lats. Honestly if they just have RMC do a retrack with new trains and some shaping changes it would be a really fun ride.

Really no new rides? I would imagine that they would at least add a flat or two.

I'm still mad that they removed Pitt Fall.

Well SFGAm has yet to receive the SF dark ride, SuperLoop, RMC rip out, or Starflyer all SF parks are getting so it should get one of those next.

Nothing since Black Widow! It's an incredible ride, don't get me wrong, but it'd still be nice for something (even a smaller flat) other than a new restaurant, or a 4D theater that is playing an Ice Age movie to debut, etc.

A Premier Skyloop or an S&S Free Fly is also possible for SFGAm, as well as a bunch of other parks in the chain.

They already have an Enterprise called Volcano. They are using LC's for spare parts.

Looks like SFGAm is getting the Justice League Dark Ride. I like that they try to stay away from the rides the rest of the parks are getting but this one is a good fit for the park. As much as I like Goliath, after seeing Wicked Cyclone I wonder what RMC could have done with Viper instead of the ground up woodie. Ultimate fantasy would be replacing Demon with an Intamin Multi Looper like Altair.

It's not fake... albeit it I cannot say anything further than that since the company practically laid it out on a silver platter with the two job offers. Lol.

The rumor is real but the website glitch posted a few days ago was faked with "inspect element"
