I am not registered so I do not understand.. but here you go
Two summers ago, one Internet tease after another resulted in the unveiling of Goliath, the roller coaster that would be the park's new king. Here in the last week of August 2015, with the workers back in school and the park closed on weekdays, fresh hooks have been dropped in the water of social media, setting off another round of speculation about the next big thing.
As reported earlier this week in your Lake County News-Sun, the latest capital campaign announces that "the road to #SFGAM2016 begins now" and features two different videos riddled with clues.
One features a wooden roller coaster that looks a lot like the American Eagle and a spotlight that looks a lot like the Bat Signal. The other features three hooded figures spray-painting graffiti in a tunnel that includes words like "ha ha" and various symbols.
And here come the guesses on Facebook, with all spelling and grammatical errors left intact to keep things organic:
"I feel like Joker The Ride will be coming because the spray painted 'ha ha' on there and the spotlight in the sky spells 'coming soon' in Jokers hand writing."
Batman isn't a superhero so that elimiminates anything having to do with him.
More Comments from Readers: "Justice Leuge dark ride. We might get 2 things next year. Justice Leuge and something else where the RC use to be. But I know we're getting Justice Leuge for shore."
"Its a dueling batman and robin ride. They ask about that type of ride interest during their polls."
"O's could mean 4 things: joker Larson loop, JL (virtual loop), skyscreamer, or 4d s&s coaster."
If I interpret that last one correctly, the appearance of O-shaped graffiti could mean a Joker Chaos Coaster designed by Larson International (as seen at Six Flags Over Georgia); a Justice League: Battle for Metropolis interactive "dark ride" (as seen at Six Flags Over Texas); a SkyScreamer spinning tower ride (as seen at eight other Six Flags parks); or a Fourth Dimension horizontal-spinning coaster designed by S&S Worldwide (as seen at Six Flags Fiesta Texas).
Or maybe I'm wrong, and those were instructions on how to assemble a nest of drawers from Ikea.
If more fuel needed to be added to the fire, it was done so when Great America officials sent out invitations to a "major announcement and media event" on Sept. 3 that included phrases like "Be a Superhero" and "Calling All Superheroes" and "Get Your Super Hero Cape Ready." Also tucked inside the invitation that made its way to the News-Sun was a Green Lantern cape, complete with his rather unique circular logo.
Wait a minute. Those O symbols in the tunnel? They look like — you might want to sit down for this — Green Lantern logos.
Unless I miss my guess, Boy Wonder, something DC Comics this way comes. And whatever it is, it probably will be much more expensive than Malibu Stacy's hat.
We knew about that article days ago. From what I can tell, the guy doesn't actually know anything more than we know (actually less than we do, I think), and he seems to think that just because he got the Green Lantern cape that means its a Green Lantern thing (even though other people got different capes). I would strongly suggest ignoring it.

He might be right. But my point is, don't think "he's in the newspaper! He knows what the ride is!". 99% sure he's just guessing like all of us. He might even BE one of us.

I'm really starting to doubt it's a dark ride, it makes no sense. They have a building like the Pictorium which was just repainted a few years back and is not used that much (Why would they repaint it if they're going to knock it down?) and is ideal for a dark ride (Look what Six Flags Over Texas did) It just doesn't add up, why on Earth they would wreck the ampitheater to build a new building, when they already have one that is perfect for a dark ride.

You don't actually know the Pictorium is perfect for a Dark ride. And I personally have a hunch they're saving that spot for possible future water park expansion.
If you go to sixflags.com/greatamerica/attractions/jlbfm it will reroute you to sixflags.com/greatamerica/attractions/new-2016/overview It says access denied but the URL says Justice league 2016.
It will say access denied but jlbfm is Justice League Battle for Metropolis
The page exists because it would say "Page not found" if it the URL was wrong but since it says "access denied" it means the page exists. Also the URL has /jlbfm and it goes to a page that says new in 2016 in the URL.

Pretty sure Justice League: Battle for Metropolis was confirmed last Friday. Just because a few people decided to close their eyes, plug their ears and say "Green Lantern S&S 4D Freefly Coaster" doesn't change that
The point is that since a URL with "jlbfm" goes to a different URL that says "new-2016" it says we are getting battle for metropolis. The link will be active tomorrow.

I guess I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt that they weren't THAT stupid to leak it like they did, and that their teases actually meant something. I really have to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.
(That said, I'm perfectly happy with JL:BFM, I just like playing the guessing game...)
