Another employee in the movie may or may not have also alluded to another future coaster type called the Brontosaurus.
That might be the new Fire in the Hole 2.0 coming to Silver Dollar City in 2023. It's rumored to be a RMC project with a powered-style of coaster train.

Sounds like a nice coaster, but what an awful name.
QuoteFun Spot America to Reveal ArieForce One Roller Coaster at IAAPA Expo
HUGE $13 Million Dollar RMC Roller Coaster, the Largest Single Investment on any Ride in Fun Spot History to Debut at Fun Spot Atlanta
Atlanta, GA, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ORLANDO, Florida – November 16, 2021 - Fun Spot America Theme Parks, Orlando’s only Family-Owned theme park is adding HUGE excitement to its Atlanta, Georgia location with the addition of an action-packed custom Rocky Mountain Construction steel roller coaster, ArieForce One. Riders will soar over 3,400 feet of track, towering 15 stories and flying at speeds up to 64 miles-per-hour. The new coaster will be located near the main gate to the park where guests will have spectacular views of the ride featuring the largest Zero-G Stall in America. “ArieForce One is a tribute to my father and his passion for flying. We will have you believing you’re traveling into space with all of the airtime moments and weightlessness this RMC coaster provides,” said Fun Spot America CEO and Owner, John Arie Jr.
“The addition of ArieForce One is a HUGE milestone for our company and the first of many new Marque rides and attractions yet to come to the Fayetteville, GA park. As a one-of-a-kind roller coaster, custom designed to the topography and layout of Fun Spot Atlanta, no other RMC roller coaster has this combination of elements. The Raven Truss Dive and the Zero-G Roll over the arcade are the first-of-their-kind in the world. In both ride elements the train travels through the center of a uniquely designed truss bridge while twisting at Zero-G,” said John Arie Jr.
Key Features of ArieForce One include:
- Themed queue lines based on John Arie Sr’s boyhood passion for flight;
- Two state of the art 20 passenger steering axle trains that just scream high speed thrills;
- 3,400 feet of RMC’s award-winning patented steel Ibox track;
- A HUGE tension-building ascent up a towering,154-foot lift hill;
- Reaching incredible speeds up to 64 mph;
- Intense ride elements including a steep, 83-degree first drop and the largest Zero-G Stall in America;
- Four exciting inversions including a first ever Raven Truss Dive, two Zero-G Rolls and a 180-degree stall.
To set up personal interviews with John Arie, Jr or other Fun Spot America representatives during the busy IAAPA week, please email John Chidester at fsapr@fun-spot.com or call, (812) 319-2055.

QuoteSix Flags $SIX M&A candidate after abrupt exit of CEO if playbook of prior CEO departures at $CONE, sold today, and $HTA which is running a strategic alternative process. L&B has a position in SIX.
Which reminded me of a discussion from a month ago about Six Flags corporate booking hotel rooms near Kennywood / Palace Entertainment HQ.
https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/q41oru/six_flags_officials_in_pittsburgh_other/
QuoteSo I work in hotel market analysis in Pittsburgh. Basically, I spend all day figuring out who is coming into the market and why.
I've noticed a sudden and consistent booking pattern of rooms in the Pittsburgh East market (the area Kennywood is in) from the Six Flags Incorporated travel account.
Seeing that Parques just built an office in Pittsburgh I would be surprised if they sold Kennywood to Six Flags, but they're here for something. I just don't know what!
It isn't a ton of rooms, but it seems like a few people have been making regular trips out since at least mid-August.

Mike Spanos is out as CEO. This was negotiated over the weekend and reads like he was forced out by the Board. New CEO is Selim Bassoul from the Board of Directors.

Maybe they will add a water element and call it Aquaman. The orange supports are throwing me off because the other Six Flags Riddler rides don't have orange.

So Bizzaro is becoming riddler now it appears. Odd to see another green coaster and the second green B&M. Feels odd as I don't see them adding any theming, but will probably gut all of the Bizzaro theming. I guess it's to capitalize on the new movie.
I normally avoid all of the comic book and superhero movies, but I might checkout The Flash movie to see Michael Keaton as Batman again.
Six Flags signed a 5 year deal with PPG paints in June, so I would expect to see all major attractions in the park repainted before the deal ends. The park president of Six Flags Over Texas stated that all major attractions in that park will be repainted by the end of 2023.

Magic Mountain:
QuoteThe Tallest and Longest Single-rail Coaster on the Planet! Taking Flight Summer 2022
Six Flags Magic Mountain’s record 20th coaster—the most at any theme park in the world—WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage will debut Summer 2022 as the tallest and longest single-rail coaster on the planet. Riders will fly single file through the sky over 3,300 feet of track, towering 13 stories and soaring at speeds up to 58 miles-per-hour.
WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage will be located in the six-acre DC UNIVERSE™ area of the park, which will be expanded and entirely remodeled to include a new, innovative restaurant and bar experience, plus retail locations featuring exclusive DC branded merchandise.
WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage exemplifies the Super Hero’s traits of strength and speed—showcasing the legacy of WONDER WOMAN™ herself. As guests enter the ride queue, influenced by Greek architecture and featuring tropical landscaping, they will be immersed in the story of her life and how she obtained her super powers. Riders will join forces with WONDER WOMAN™ in the fight for truth, justice, and equality, to embark on an incredible journey of heroic feats, propelling through dives, banks, rolls, and turns designed to challenge the bravest of thrill seekers.
The newly-themed DC UNIVERSE™ area also includes the popular BATMAN™ The Ride and several other DC themed rides.
https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/attractions/wonder-woman-flight-of-courage
The current rumor for Magic Mountain is that they will have 20 coasters in 2022, 19 coasters in 2023, and 20 coasters in 2024. An older coaster (possibly Viper) will be leaving to make room for a new B&M.

It is interesting to see Starbucks in the park now. They are everywhere now I guess.
Supposedly, most of the Six Flags parks will be getting a Starbucks. It is rumored that there is a new deal with FAT Brands (owner of Johnny Rockets) and more of their restaurant brands will show up in the parks over the next few seasons.

I am hoping to see a Zamperla Giga Discovery replace the Yankee Clipper flume and a retheme of Whirligig to DC SUPER VILLAINS Swing.
SkyHigh Coasters, the company that does most ride installations and some ride removals for the park, posted a picture from Logger's Run that was taken on Sept 10th.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/six-flags-partnership-will-equip-security-staff-with-body-cameras-2021-08-31QuoteSix Flags partnership will equip security staff with body cameras
Published: Aug. 31, 2021 at 7:50 a.m. ET
Axon Enterprise Inc. AXON, +3.12%, a public safety technology company, said Tuesday that it has partnered with Six Flags Entertainment Corp. SIX, -0.54% to equip park security staff with 600 body cameras nationwide. The news comes after reports of at least two incidents at Six Flags parks in New Jersey, one in July at the Six Flags Hurricane Harbor where state police and a K-9 bomb-sniffing dog unit was notified, and another on Monday where a guest entered a restricted area and injured her leg. "This added transparency will increase security and operations efficiencies and eliminate uncertainty around staff and guest interactions, benefiting everyone involved," said Mike Shore, Axon's general manager of commercial and private security sectors, in a statement.

There was originally something about only getting one visit to FF and HITP but it seems to have been removed from the website, so I would assume it is no longer true and they took it out after realizing it wasn't a good policy.
Yeah, it looks like the wording may have changed.

Wild Speculation Warning: Due to the repaint of Pandemonium, I think Catwoman Whip at SFOT will be relocated to another park for 2022. This ride is next to an empty piece of land that will eventually be used for a new attraction and this would free up more space. This is the only 48 person Zamperla Endeavour built and would be a good fit at one of the larger parks in the chain.
Pandemonium at SFOT is being repainted the same colors as the Catwoman rides at SFOG and SFStL.

Which waterpark? I don't see any in the area worth purchasing or leasing.

You can see the new water treatment plant in the woods east of Zumanjaro and north of the solar panels. It looks like the new 1 million gallon storage tank wasn't completed yet.
http://www.jacksonmua.com/water.html
QuoteThere are currently two (2) water systems in Jackson Township. These are the Jackson Township MUA (JTMUA) water system (which includes the former Legler water system that was acquired by JTMUA and interconnected in 2011) and the Six Flags Great Adventure (SFGA) water system. These water systems are supplied by separate treatment and distribution systems but are scheduled to be interconnected by 2020.
Six Flags Great Adventure Water System
The Authority also owns and operates the water supply facilities at SFGA. The SFGA water system consists of four (4) production wells, a water treatment plant and two (2) water storage tanks: a 0.5 million gallon ground storage tank and a 0.5 million gallon elevated storage tank. This system provides potable water exclusively to SFGA.
In partnership with SFGA, JTMUA is planning to construct a 2,250 GPM Advanced Water Treatment Plant and a 1 million gallon elevated storage tank beginning in 2018. These facilities will be regional and will service the northwestern portion of Jackson Township.http://www.jacksonmua.com/CapitalImprovements.html
QuoteThe existing Six Flags Water Treatment Plant was constructed in the 1970s and is need of replacement. The Authority is able to borrow funds at extremely low interest rates and we were able to leverage this low cost financing into a cost-effective joint project between the Authority and Six Flags. In short, the Authority will construct a WTP, which it will own and operate, that will be rated for 3.24 MGD on property the Authority owns outside of Six Flags. This future facility will serve both Six Flags Great Adventure as well as the Authority’s service area including the Route 537 corridor. Construction began in June 2018 and is expected to be completed in June 2020.
