I guess part of SFMM's reason for opening every day now is so they can turn it into more of a resort destination, like Disneyland or something. Maybe they'll develop some hotels and stuff in this field to the right/east of the park? Those clearing plots look to be more more industrial buildings, but the space between Entertainment Dr and the park looks promising.

I feel SfGAdv will be getting a skywarp as the "Worlds First" attraction

Where did you hear that? It would make sense.

At Coaster Con this year they said SF would get 4 or 5 North America's firsts next year

SFMM-Another roller coaster. It's been so long since Twisted Colossus, saying that they're overdue for a new one is an understatement.
SFGAdv-Green Lantern sitdown conversion?
SFOG- RMC Georgia Cyclone, probably better than Wicked Cyclone
SFOT-Changing the name to "One Flag (or Six Duplicate Flags) over Texas" because political correctness
SFSTl-I wish I could say "RMC Boss" except for the fact that The Boss closure was not announced. Unless they do it quietly, like with Twisted Twins.

And probably some smaller attractions to make the small to mid-size parks feel more samey.

Hurray the SFMM Skyscreamer's debut - you'll be flying over the Tatsu... twists! :D

I've got a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of paired rides this year. My guesses:

GE: Zamperla Disk'O
LR: Larson Super Loop
SFA: ProSlide Rocket Blast
SFDK: S&S Free Spin
SFFT: RMC Raptor (Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster)
SFGAdv: Skyline Skywarp
SFGAm: Larson Super Loop, ProSlide Rocket Blast, and Hurricane Harbor becomes a separate gate
SFMM: Two flat rides...Zamperla Disk'O and Zamperla Giant Discovery
SFM: S&S Free Spin
SFNE: Zamperla Giant Discovery
SFOG: RMC IBox of Georgia Cyclone
SFOT: Skyline Skywarp
SFStL: ProSlide Rocket Blast

The five rides referred to at Coaster Con would be Wonder Woman, the two Skywarps, and records broken by RMC Georgia Cyclone and the Rocket Blast at SFGAm.
Coaster Count: 535 (114 wood, 444 steel); Park Count: 110
Top 5 Wood: El Toro, Voyage, Thunderhead, Outlaw Run, Boulder Dash
Top 5 Steel: Superman the Ride, Fury 325, Millennium Force, X2, Intimidator 305

I'd be surprised if they're not overly narrow superlatives.

SFGAm seems to have escaped all of the SF "trends" aside from the Battle for Metropolis bit, so it wouldn't surprise me if King Chaos becomes a Mardi Gras SuperLoop and then we get a standard SkyScreamer on the Ragin Cajun concrete the year after, or reverse those, OR, Condor gets axed and replaced with the swingy chain thing.
