The Next SkyScreamers

We all know these past few years that Six Flags has been throwing Star Flyers, mostly by the name "Skyscreamer," to their parks in response to Cedar Fair's installment of WindSeekers.

In 2011, Six Flags St Louis and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom got the first Skyscreamers, 236 ft and 150 ft respectively.

In 2012, La Ronde, Six Flags Great Adventure, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas got Skyscreamers, 148 ft, 242 ft, and 200 ft respectively, with La Ronde getting the name "Vol Ultime."

In 2013, Six Flags Over Georgia got a 242 ft version, while Six Flags Over Texas got a 400 ft version, named Texas SkyScreamer. This took the record for the tallest in the world.

In 2014, that record was beaten by Six Flags New England with New England Skyscreamer, opening later this month at 409 ft.

So what will become of these rides in 2015? Will we continue to see these rides installed? At this point, the only Six Flags parks yet to receive a SkyScreamer are:

Six Flags America
Six Flags Great America
Six Flags Magic Mountain
Six Flags Mexico

I suspect that at least two, if not all of these parks, will get a SkyScreamer. If all of them get one next year, then that will finally finish off the collection of SkyScreamers.

Six Flags America is starting to get more attention with the installations of Apocalypse in 2012 and Mardi Gras in 2014 with Rajun Cajin. In 2015, I do think they could get a SkyScreamer, probably around the 242 ft category, maybe even in the Mardi Gras section (I'm not aware of the layout so give me some insight).

Six Flags Great America is also possible in 2015, especially since they just removed Rajun Cajin to SFA, which is a perfect spot for a SkyScreamer. I would guess the 200 ft caliber.

Six Flags Mexico could also get a 150 ft one, and much like Vol Ultime at La Ronde, have a different name.

Could there be a 400 ft though next year, like Texas and New England? I suppose so, but given the cost, I'm not so sure. But if there is any Six Flags park that would get a 400 ft SkyScreamer, I can think of one place:

Six Flags Magic Mountain

WindSeeker just left Knott's, now's a perfect opportunity to get a SkyScreamer. Also they really like spending money at SFMM, their signature park. I'd guess they would place this in either Thrill Shot's old pad or the site of Deja Vu/Mr. Six. I'd also expect a paint scheme like Texas and New England SkyScreamer, possibly giving it the name "Magic Mountain SkyScreamer." Thrill Shot, though, is probably my favorite option, while they save the Deja Vu spot for a Giga.

I would say all of these will open in 2015 to complete the SkyScreamer collection.
