New ride for 2016

by **coasterfanatic** on August 22nd, 2015, 1:55 pm

If you go back and look at teaser videos from years past, can we see things that made sense in the video that related to the ride?

The Goliath videos were Rocky Mountain themed, the #s on the camera roll matched certain numbers pertaining to the ride and we saw the 3 guiness world records on the folder. Again, all the little stuff.

We shall see but again I would be surprised if it ISN'T the Justice League!

I'll be impressed if Southwest Amphitheater is completely cleared by then.

Wonder if it might be themed around the Batman vs Superman movie that comes out spring 2016?
Just a thought

What if it will be the Justice League, but the problem is...it cannot match the Southwest Territory, along with Raging Bull.

I changed my prediction off of the latest teasers. It's definitely a Justice League dark ride in SWAT. I say this because first the Superman "themed" teaser on twitter, then the purple on Eagle (most likely representing Joker), and then the graffiti work in the sewer tunnel thingy (which is probably from BTR)...this all adds up to JL:BFM.

by **SFGAMNUT9302** on August 22nd, 2015, 7:55 pm

At this point I'm stumped... The clues obviously scream JL:BFM but if you read the description in the youtube teaser videos that Six Flags posted it says..... You may think you know...but we're not so sure you do. Tweet us what you think #SFGAM2016......... Which leads me to believe it might be something else entirely. I don't get why they would put such obvious clues up like this.

When the SWA was built it opened with the Batman stunt show in SWA, so I do think Great America is too concerned. If they want to add an attraction, theming/naming is not their main concern. Most of the newer attractions themes do not match the area theme they are put. Superman in New Orleans, Batman in Yukon Territory, Demon, XFlight and Goliath in County Fair. I do not think that the general public comes off a ride like Goliath and says it was good, but it would have been better if the name matched the theme of the area better.
Disney is the only one that insists that the theme matches the area where it is going to be installed.

Six Flags doesn't care if the theme matches the area. And if they do care, it would be very easy to move the SWT sign to the other side of whatever they're building.

Let's look at a few of your comments one by one:

Batman in Yukon...
Batman is in Yankee Harbor

When the SWA was built it opened with the Batman stunt show in SWA...
SWA was built before Southwest Territory. The building opened in 93 and SWT opened in 96

When the SWA was built it opened with the Batman stunt show in SWA...
Also when SWT opened, They replaced the Batman show with a Warner Bros. Western Show

If they don't care about theming matching an area, can we please have The Lobster back instead of the East River Crawler :lol:

Sure they don't care anymore, but it's still nice seeing whats left of a themed area. Who knows if they're even serious about the super hero theme.

As the park said "You may think you know...but we're not so sure you do."

Has the park ever been this obvious?

Ok fine, Original Themed costumes are returning for all employees next year in honor of the 40th year. Thats the big announcement, no new anything, it was just SWAT's time to go anyway.

The underlined O's in the these clues just means they got us all running around in CIRCLES trying to figure it all out

by **BabyDinosaur** on August 23rd, 2015, 10:14 am

Have they completely destroyed SWAT from the inside of it?

You guys are funny!
If I was a part of sfgam, why would I be on here so much? I'm just participating in the great hype. I now have all my friends interested in what's going on too. When you love a place like a second home you talk them up!

You never answered yes or no... So do you work at or for Great America?

The loops are interesting. Also, the guy in the purple shirt in the meeting pictures looks like Jim Seay.
