I assume this is the first of the rehabbed gondolas being reinstalled:

 

I was told this was impossible

I wonder how the queue and entrance plaza is going to look for the new coaster. Really hoping this path stays open, seemed like it could be fenced off from the rendering:

 

I wonder why they’re saying it’s in movietown vs metropolis 

Six Flags St Louis Giga Discovery leaked on their site. Great Adventures site is super slow for me right now so I think announcements might be today

my guess its the number of launches on the venom super inverted boomerang coaster

Where did you hear inverted? How cool would it be (and probably 0% chance if happening) to be dueling, chiller themed, and one super boomerang and one inverted super boomerang

New clue

It appears that there might be an official 2024 announcement in the coming days!!

The “nostalgia” still makes it seem like it’s going to be named after a previous ride

“Somewhat” related. Someone mentioned their normal spending is 110-130m a year. 200m two years in a row would be ~160m additional spending than normal

Definitely, that should have been the final teaser and the 436 could have been omitted (as the defining number with the rest being ambiguous).

 

Does anyone know the cost of the Super Boomerang? Lech Coaster costed €12M (roughly $13M) in 2017, but also features twice the track length of this. My ballpark guess would be $15M, so I'm not understanding how this was addressed as a huge increase in Capex.

 

Perhaps the entire GADV allocated budget was supposed to be for renovations/TLC and then this was thrown in there as an added "gift"? Ironically it'll be the best part of the new season.

The increase was not specifically earmarked solely for great adventure

New Teaser!

Ka - #1 Tallest in world

Toro - #1 Tallest Wooden in US

Flume - 1st from Arrow

Other two I got nothing

Def doesn’t spell fifteenth but the “FT” are connected. Name clue maybe? Flash: T___

They should retheme joker to riddler and retrack dark knight coaster with rmc wild moose and make it jokers funhouse

Or retrack skull mountain. They had pics of it in one of the teases 

Someone on parkfans matched up all those numbers to the super boomerang. All but confirmed I guess. Looks fun as hell

Was one of these sold and cancelled for another park? The way they worded it made it seem like it was already in development for somewhere else

circuit breaker went over a roadway so I guess it could go over the entrance but idk if the markers line up

That's an interesting hint. I am maybe thinking that instead of looking at those as numbers, maybe they are supposed to be words.

 

For 50(th anniversary) for 8(?) fifteenth (coaster) two for ten for thirty six?

 

Maybe this is a name hint. I am looking at the 10 and 36 and maybe those have to do with Great American Scream Machine being removed in 2010 during the park's 36th year of being open. Maybe the new coaster will once again be called the Great American Scream Machine. A great name that I would love to see return to the park for a new coaster.

I said this the other day I think whatever new ride will be named based on a previous attraction. Stuntman’s Freefall would work for a dive coaster but I don’t think a dive is likely. I think it’ll be GASM

The blue part of the layout would be in the sky behind the entrance in the photo.

 

Oh my bad, looked at the map in a different way. That would actually be really cool

Unless Kingda Ka is being phased out... 

would they wanna give up the record?

Would it be possible to put in a trench or tunnel and have the ride dive under the front entrance path?

 

Just playing around with the BGW Drachen Spire layout, scale is most likely wrong.

 

 

Not sure if that would make sense since they posted a photo of the entrance with “something’s missing” to me I would assume something going above the entrance

I wonder how well the cancelled BGW project lines up with the markings?

“Best view is down” referring to backward spike?

From the call regarding increase in upcoming capex:

 

"The lift in '24 was somewhat related to... we have a 50th anniversary coming up at our park in New Jersey and we had an opportunity to add a nice ride kind of late in the game and that's a little bit rare because it takes generally a while to design and build a coaster so we had a fortunate opportunity and we decided to take it.  So that's the lift versus what we had expected to spend in the short run."

Sounds like a coaster that was planned for a different park and fell through 

Starting to sound like that guy may not have been entirely wrong

Really not getting my hopes up for 2024. Yes, log flume and big wheel rehabs will be nice but I don’t think we will get something BIG. I could be wrong but Those survey markings I believe are for under ground utilities and how far way they are from it. Yes, something is in the works in that area but I really don’t think it’s something big. I really hope I’m wrong though…

Then why would the park post a hint about 2024 specifically focused on the markers? 

Also that guy teaser the insider information said there’s one more haunt returning to fright fest. I haven’t been in a long time - is it still possible to bring back the hayride?

I think if we’re getting a new coaster they should name it based off a previous attraction. A new coaster named Great American Scream Machine would be great. Stuntman’s freefall is a great name for a dive coaster too
