I believe there is a very good chance for a Sky Screamer. Just depends on where to put it. Hopefully they can find room in County Fair, its theme would actually fit in.

I would welcome a Sky Screamer at SFGAm. I enjoy Whirling alot with the nice breeze it provides on hot summer days. I could easily see a Sky Screamer in either Trailblazer's former location or replacing Condor.
I just read a recent discussion on a Great Adventure forum. Supposedly, the ride rotation program is back and started this year. Deja Vu left Magic Mt, Iron wolf left GAm, and Pandomonium left Discovery Kingdom. There was talk about how each park has to submit to corporate a ride into the program every five years. Superman is supposedly the new one on the list from our park. Apparently, GAm has plans for 3 coasters in the next 5 years, including x flight. We shall see........
Cajun should go somewhere. Either get sent to a smaller SF that doesn't get crowded, or be sold outside the chain. Ragin' Cajun has no business being in a park like ours.
Cajun is a piece of crap. Honestly seems to me like they panicked and just threw it in the plans at the last second. You're right, it shouldn't be in a large scale park. I doubt they would even bother moving it as its not even worth the cost. Scrapping it and putting the money from it towards a new ride would be a worthy investment for a park. It's a fun ride, just doesn't fit in.

I would just put Cajun on the list cause Superman has a dip into the ground. Cajun is completely above ground. I remember seeing the supports on wood at one time.
^ Cajun is a portable model, that's why it is on blocks. TDK is also on blocks, you just don't notice it because it is indoors. King Chaos is on wood blocks as well.
^ Your missing the most important point. The Dark Knight Coaster works, Ragin' Cajun on the other hand, well that depends on your definition of the "works".
How about Superman is put on the ride rotation for a new and big roller coaster and Ragin Cajun is removed. i could easily see a skyscreamer put in Ragin Cajuns spot and it would fit in great with all the lights and theming. We could rename Sky Screamer something like Cajun Swing or Zydeco Swing or something creative that fits in the Mardi Gras theme. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=sky+scre ... 9,r:9,s:49 You can see all of Sky Screamers lights.
The ride rotation program isn't a bad way for parks to have big capital investments more often without breaking the bank. Especially in our park, where space is a priority, it's an even better idea.
So basically, I'm all for it. Bye bye SUF.

If they do the ride rotation program again, They have to only move the rides once. Relocating rides every 2-3 years can result in Flashback at SFMM and Batman at SFAW. Rough. Rolling Thunder at GE isn't awesome either to be honest.
The reason S:UF was previously up for us is because of where it's located. Besides Iron Wolfs spot, the park is basically land locked. Superman takes up a lot of space to work with and since it's a clone, it's not that special of a ride. If it does leave, it won't be for atleast 2-3 more years. There's one coaster that's very likely to leave before it...
