Six Flags Great Adventure 2015

Just this morning from Screamscape:

2015 - New Coaster - Rumor - (5/30/14) The early buzz for Six Flags Great Adventure is that the park may tap Rocky Mountain Construction to build another custom crazy creation like Goliath that will soon open at SF Great America, but bigger and meaner. The only clue as to the location is that our sources says that they would like for it to try and dive underground, traveling under 'the lake' at some point. If this is true, then look for this new coaster to go in the back of the park, perhaps near the old water-ski stands, or possibly over where the log ride sits. This also makes sense as the backside of the park could use a new major attraction, as almost every other new addition for the last several years has been placed either up front near the entrance (Superman, Green Lantern, Sky Screamer) or in the nearby north-east corner where we can now find Kingda Ka, Zumanjaro and El Toro. Off the top of my head the only new addition in the last decade to go elsewhere would be The Dark Knight indoor mouse coaster on the dead western side of the park where The Chiller used to be.

 From the looks of this, it looks like this RMC monster will be in the back of the park and possibly be "bigger and meaner" than Goliath at SFGAm. It should be very interesting how they'll make this ride go under the lake, and where they will put this ride. Frankly, I'd rather see the Rapids go over the Log Flume (this is coming from a river rapids/water ride lover; I hated SFGAdv's Congo River Rapids there lol). While the log flume isn't the most exciting I've ridden, it's more interesting than that pathetic excuse for a water ride. Plus, it gives the west side more attention (it only has Nitro, DK, the Rapids, and Batman). Then again, if they take out the Rapids or Log Flume, that leaves this place with only ONE water ride. I'd rather see the old Water-Ski stands go then.

I'm very happy with this rumor. The fact that Rocky Mountain is expanding to the East Coast is making me very pleased, because there will now be one on my usual path to the North. The more we have these things, the better place this world will be.

So now let's bring up the list of Six Flags 2015 additions:

Six Flags America: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags Fiesta Texas: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags Great Adventure: RMC Wooden Coaster
Six Flags Great America: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags Magic Mountain: New Coaster OR RMC Iron Horse Conversion (Colossus)
Six Flags Mexico: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags New England: RMC Iron Horse Conversion (Cyclone)
Six Flags Over Georgia: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags Over Texas: Nothing rumored yet
Six Flags St Louis: Nothing rumored yet
La Ronde: Nothing rumored yet

Looks like another great year for RMC. I'd say Magic Mountain will build their Iron Horse conversion of Colossus in 2016 rather than 2015 just because of the supposed timeline (rumor has it, Iron Colossus supposed to take as long as New Texas Giant's conversion). Even so, there's still the rumor of Iron Cyclone at SFNE and now SFGAdv getting a RMC built from scratch for 2015. If you want to go one step further into the future (2016), then we could possibly have Iron Colossus. There's also that monstrous RMC going up in Kolmarden, Wildfire, the first RMC in Europe (in Sweden), also opening that year.

The next two years for RMC are looking more and more spectacular, and hopefully Busch taps them soon for an RMC in Florida.
