New ride for 2016

[CoasterShuffle]

Did anyone notice any color during the static in the video?

It looks green to me, and I noticed eyes during the static...

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Red and eyes? Obvious allusion to demon.

I applaude you Great America. You really threw us off this time.

For various reasons, I really strongly don't think they're planning a RMC conversion of the Eagle. BUT... they ARE really trying to make us think that SOMETHING is happening involving the Eagle, and SWAT is right there if they were going to convert it they might want that space for expansion or construction. Again, I'm 99% sure they're just messing with us, but you never know...

Maybe they showed that view of AE, because there hinting that that's the view you'll get from the new attraction site.

What's with the purple, though? Probably a Joker thing, but how would the Eagle be involved with that?

I'm not sure. Great America likes to tease and throw us off though. I expect that it will involve Eagle in some practically unrelated way...

Nothing seems to add up..
- Eagle Teasing
- Work going on at SWAT
- Comic book twitter pic: (Justice League)
Great America I truly applause you because I am extremely confused! Unless we're getting multiple things next year! (JK)

[JaminOut]

I think the most practical thing we will see next year is a retrack of AE, a new superhero flat ride in one of the many holes in the park (Air Race/ Superloop), and a concert series in the upgraded SWAmp.

Something else to think about. It will be AE 35th anniversary...

[AirTimeDaz]

So exciting. Teaser time is my favorite time of the year!

Whatever it is, love will be shown to American Eagle... Maybe Blue will go backwards again?

Let's hope so! Or even better, a new paint job, GCI retrack and new trains? So excited.... People have also mentioned S&S 4D which I guess could also be possible? It's all very confusing and if you look at the teaser Coming Soon has the O's underlined.. They almost look like loops to me! Hope it isn't a Larson super loop lol

General Question: How many rows can you have on a Millennium Flyer train?

I don't know if the SWAT plot is even big enough for a dark ride and it's line. When you do an aerial view of the Justice League at Six Flags St Louis and the SWAT plot, it looks far too large for that plot of land. They might be throwing everyone off with these comic strip clues, etc.

[AirTimeDaz]

i've heard an interesting theory that maybe it will be either or both Justice League: Battle for Metropolis AND converting AE into Batman vs. Superman battling/dueling coaster. That's a lot of superhero themed rides for 1 park in my opinion, (B:TR, B:TDK, S:UF, JL:B4M, B vs. S) but this is Six Flags, so who knows...

That would easily be the most stupid retheme Six Flags has done.

"Hey, let's retheme a 34 year wooden coaster to a new movie about superheroes."

there would probably be riots in the street. methinks they should just leave eagle alone. i thought they couldn't construct anything new there anyway. :/

[RollingCoasting]

I totally agree that they just keep eagle how it is.

If all they were doing was upgrading SWAT work wouldn't be going on there now. That's is something that could be finished in the spring. This is major work if they have started already.

Not sure but American Thunder and Apocalypse both have decent capacity and those are the two GCII coasters I have been on, (and they both have millennium flyer trains). Pretty sure they both have 12 rows for 24 total per train.

[Foltzy]

Has anyone thought that two teasers on one night could mean something?
Like maybe two rides.

But it's six flags. Who am I kidding.
We won't get two rides

And depending on what you count as a teaser, you could call it three. (And for the record, we did get three rides this year, it's just that nobody counts them because they are kiddie rides)

[anewman35]

This is the point where I usually step in and say "come on guys, they aren't going to be teasing a retrack or new trains, that's too minor for the general public to care about", except that last year they did tease the removal of the ropes course and some of the general Hometown Square stuff. I still kinda think that was mostly because they didn't have much to work with and wouldn't do that in a year with a real ride, but I guess we'll see.

[dlmtechnology]

so I was bored, I downloaded the video and went frame by frame pulling interesting things. They most likely mean nothing but have at it. Clicking the picture should take you to the album.

[DejaVu2001]

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

I had posted a few photos earlier, but a few people were having issues with the photos loading. So I posted some more photos here instead:
