Looks like Six Flags have a big announcenent incoming. 

Thoughts on gaps to fill, maybe an RMC Raptor or another single rail design? 

Super right?

I assume they've publicly announced and revealed that their Superman ride now operates forwards and backwards, perhap we'll see the landing of another superhero ride there too?

They have been constructing an RMC Raptor for some time now. The footings have already been installed, and raptor track and trains have been spotted at the park. I’ve been following it’s construction recently. Looks awesome, many people think the yellow track and red supports represent The Flash, and with a new flash film coming soon with Michael Keaton’s Batman, I have little doubt this is what they’re going for! Check out Theme Park Tracker and Theme Park ERT for their uploads on the coaster, as well as weekly updates on the construction. The station is being built as of this time.

Maybe! My money is on the RMC Raptor below being themed off Superman

I should have investigated prior to posting haha. 

In that case maybe unlikely that they are announcing another new large scale attraction, I would say its most likely to do with the official naming of the raptor which would be superman related. 

It's a similar layout to Jersey Devil (Six Flags Great Adventure), modified so that the park can reuse the Green Lantern coaster station.

It'll be Flash or Wonderwoman Surely?

'Super' just means Superhero related IMO.

Thats what I was thinking. I doubt it would be Superman considering they already have a ride themed to him, but I guess its still a possibility?

True, it does make more sense that its a different super. 

The Flash probably makes the most sense given the colours of the track and supports that are there. 

Who knows, it could be a red herring and its something else entirely. 

Plus if it were Superman wouldn't it be blue and red?

Hmm red and yellow doesnt rule him out. But I agree its unlikely to be supes as he already has a themed ride at MM. Flash or WW make more sense, especially with DCEU announcing movies for both heroes in the pipeline.

 

I just looked up “Wonder Woman” at SFMM, and they have “Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth”. Just a run of the mill round-up flat. I think this makes it less likely for WW, leaving The Flash as the mostly viable option. Anything can happen tho.

Also, it seems that the Six Flags chain does not copy superhero-themed rides in their parks, if there is a Batman: The Ride, that is the only one in the park. Not saying they don’t clone themes from one park to another, which is why WW was probably on some people’s minds, seeing as though another single rail WW coaster already operates at SFFT. So seeing two WW rides in one park would probs be kinda confusing haha.

Like if you say “Let’s go on Wonder Woman!” to which the response is “which one?”. 😂

Grammar

I'm ruling out Superman, given he already has a ride there.

I'm leaning more towards The Flash (as others are too) because of mainly the colour of track and supports, but personally I see Flash more generally suited to run as a single-rail coaster.

I get all my information from Screamscape. He reckons Wonder Woman.

Are they basing it on it has the same colours as Wonder Woman Golden Lasso because I read somewhere else, they thought the same thing based on the matching colours?

It's obviously Buzzsaw!

they also have a flash themed flat ride opposite from the Wonder Woman one, so unless they retheme one of those rides i can’t see it being The Flash or Wonder Woman.

Is it that? ^

WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage

The tallest and longest single-rail coaster on the planet! New In 2022

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s 20^th 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 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.

Located in the newly-themed DC UNIVERSE™ area of the park which also includes the popular BATMAN™ The Ride and several other DC themed rides, WONDER WOMAN™ Flight of Courage will be part of an entire six-acre area remodel to also feature a new restaurant and retail location.

Well that settles it then

RMC Raptor named Wonder Woman Flight of Courage, set to be the tallest and longest single rail coaster in the world and bringing MM to an astounding total of 20 coasters. 

 

Not guna lie, I think a ride like this would be a perfect replacement for AA One can dream!

It sure would! Would love to see one here, but.......

An RMC single-rail coaster in the Gold Coast would fit either parks nicely.

Would love to see one in either blue circles, but who knows what'll happen.

One thing for sure, we probs won't be seeing a thrill ride be built on the island...
