Yep, which points to the Justice League ride, which is what I have been expecting it will be.

Unfortunately, if this is a superhero themed ride in Southwest Territory, I would be disappointed at the placement or theming of the ride. I know it's been talked about before on this forum, but count me in the crowd that is getting annoyed at the management for completely ignoring the themed areas. What's the point of a THEME park if you don't follow your themes.


The thing is, I don't really think most people care about themes, they just care about the rides. And if people don't care, the park isn't going to care.

Like I said earlier though, if it does take the SWAT location I don't think it's that big a deal since that is the very edge of the land and it's not like SWAT really is especially well-themed now. Just move it to be part of County Fair and it's no problem, right?

That would be a good solution, but it would require the park to move the Southwest Territory sign and I just don't see them taking the time and money to do that.

That's clearly a purple signal in the sky. Think about it.....Batman is in the Justice League and the main villain in the ride is the Joker who's color is purple. As for Eagle....just something to try and throw us off.

Two things in one night, they're making up for lost time. But I have to remember my previous advice and not take anything in them TOO seriously - the whole idea is for them to have us fooled and not really knowing what it is until the last minute. And they're not stupid, and they know all the rumors, so they try to play things up just to get us talking...

At least because they started to late it's less of a wait to actually find out!

The search light at the end of the video reminds me of the bat signal. Seems like another possible JL clue, but the Eagle being in there is interesting.

Edit: Just saw others see the bat signal clue too.

The writing also seems kind of Joker-ish. Any significance in the "o"s in "coming soon" being underlined?

If they were retracing Eagle it most likely would have been closed by now. Plus it's definitely not a RMC makeover because RMC announced their work sites for the coming year. I just think it's because Eagle is so close to the Amphitheater they're trying to throw us off by putting it in there

I agree. It's like the smoke/fog is drifting low, past Eagle to the location.

One question: do those Os at the end in "Coming Soon" look like coaster loops to anyone else?

The video description is also pretty interesting: "The road to #SFGAM2016 has begun! Can you figure out what we are up to?

You may think you know...but we're not so sure you do"

And they have to know that the obvious rumor was Justice League, so is this them saying it's NOT that? Good job, SFGAm, you've got me all confused again.

I saw something about SWAT being prepped for demolition, is there any clarity to this?

That's the one thing that scares me, because SF is calling those super loops coasters, but our park can do better than a ride like that!

Could this possibly be a S&S 4-D Free Flyer? SFGADv closed down their theater and it's roumered that they will be getting one. The Purple could be a reference to a Bizzaro themed ride. Since SFFT has a Batman theme and we already have Batman it could be Bizzaro!

I've been waiting the whole month for them to release teasers and the one evening I'm not on my computer they do it. :( That's my luck

Anyways, I agree, this looks like it's hinting at a justice league ride.

I am starting to think everything we are predicting is going to be proven wrong. The JL dark ride was my prediction all year, but now I am doubting myself. This park has been a trend setter, not a follower, in its history.

Did anyone notice any color during the static in the video? I thought I saw a line of red about halfway through it...
