Park News - (11/3/09) A reader reports that during their visit to SFA over the weekend, they noticed lots of paint markings along Roar’s tracks, possibly an indication of an upcoming rehab on the coaster over the winter. Anyone else know more? (10/27/09) A few pictures showing off Superman: Ride of Steel’s new paint job at SFA can be found here and here. (10/9/09) No Bizarro for SFA fans it seems, as Superman is getting repainted in the same Red & Blue colors that we know and love. (9/15/09) A local source claims that Superman: ROS at SFA may be getting repainted this fall. Of course this has some wondering if Bizarro may be on the way to SFA in 2010, but somehow I don’t think this is the case.
2010 - Thomas Town - Confirmed - (10/9/09) Artwork for the Thomas Town expansion can be found over at SFAFans.com. (10/7/09) We’ve got details on the new Thomas Town coming to Six Flags America next spring. A display now set up at the Looney Tunes Emporium shows off five official elements so far: the Thomas train ride, Harold The Helicopter (Zamperla Mini-Jet), a Pop-Jet Fountain w/ Thomas Town water tower, the Sodor Carnival Ferris Wheel and a Diesel themed Zamperla Convoy ride, where the big rigs are themed instead to look like Diesel Train Engines. There were also pictures showing off playground structure from one of the other Thomas Towns as well as a Zamperla Jump 16 kiddie tower ride. While the exact location of the new Thomas Town hasn’t been announced, a reader did tell us that they noticed that the area behind the Joker’s Jinx looked to have been cleared out and had what looked to be survey markings on the ground. (7/22/09) Screamscape sources have confirmed to us that Thomas Town will indeed feature 10 rides in this super-sized attempt at building a proper Thomas Town. (6/19/09) In a talk with Mark Shapiro, the About Theme Parks site tells us that he confirmed that the plans for Thomas Town were not only still on for 2010, but that the land would feature 10 new rides. This is a far cry above all the other Thomas Towns we’ve seen them put in so far with only 1 or 2 rides total. (4/7/09) According to one of our readers, the plan right now is to place the new Thomas Town somewhere back near the Superman: Ride of Steel station. Not only could this back end of the park use a more kid friendly attraction area, it’s also close enough to the park’s train tracks to allow for them to be transformed into a Thomas themed train ride. From what we’ve heard, this could become the biggest Thomas Town in the entire chain when it opens in 2010, but that’s not saying much since the rest of the them are all fairly small projects. (4/6/09) According to this picture taken by SFA Fans, the park posted a large posted confirming that Thomas Town was coming in 2010.
2011 - New Coaster - Rumor - (10/07/09) During an ACE event at the park last weekend the park President mentioned that if all goes well with the bankruptcy, the park hoped to add a new attraction that would make ACE members happy in 2011.
