Let the speculations begin. Found at the MGH fences, the phrasing is intriguing considering Six Flags just trademarked a name recently that most certainly is related as seen here:

I don't think you are off here. I believe this will be tied to fright fest as the meaning is some sort of "god eating creature/sacrificing creature". Time will tell. I really should get to the park... LOL it's been years, I still have a membership and gotten 1 cycle on MAX FORCE. Haven't been to the park since.

The trademark is likely something for Freight Fest, as is this teaser.

Maxx Force is kinda mid tbh, there's better rides there.

Oh... I didn't knock off my socks by any means. You know what packed a punch was Top Thrill 2. Too bad it hasn't opened back up yet. The violent way coming down that spiral top hat daaaaaaaaymn. Zamperla needs to get things worked out asap.

Regarding the teasers, on FB they carefully capitalized SSA-Something iS coming, just wAit.

My son texted me a great idea I had not thought of: the new S&S Axis coaster model? What do you all think?

The teaser is most likely Fright Fest. They filed a trademark for Wrath of Rakashaha which would fit a Fright Fest theme.

They never really drop teasers with manufacturer hints in them.

The first one is supposed to goto a FEC in Saudi Arabia. It is a very small layout.

Why, Except for Merlin's Mayhem, Steel Curtain, Maxx Force, and almost all their other coasters except Free Spins they're very reliable coasters. LOL

And how does SSA fit into all that? It was clearly intentional capitalization.

Chaperone Policies were just announced at several SF legacy parks, Over Georgia, America and Discovery Kingdom. Given the incidents the last few years, Great America could and should be next.

I don't know where else to post this, but does anyone else feel like Raging Bull is absolutely hauling ass this year? The camel back and hill over the station feel like they are way faster and the airtime is much stronger

Yes. It is definitely running faster. For whatever reason, the 3rd hill trim is not hitting nearly as hard this year. A good way to tell if Bull is running fast is if the final trim before the figure 8 comes on. If the ride is running normal speed, those brakes don't hit. Usually they only hit on exceptionally hot days, but this year, I've never not seen/heard it trim there.

I will be the only one sad if we get a dive coaster next year.... :lol: I do not find them entertaining and rather boring. Hopefully that rumor is squashed. #pleasenodive

I doubt it’s for 2025 plus Wipeout is still open on the same slide complex.
