Road to Glory - Episode 1

Follow the Road to Glory for clues about what's new in 2019!

[@coastermachine7481]

I will kms if it’s a water park expansion

[@kusunxki3935]

Why

[@trumps1supporter371]

K1DZ1NR4G3 cuz rollercoasters > waterslides

[@coastermachine7481]

Trump's #1 Supporter the water park is awful, half the slides are lawns closed and their excuse was “we’re training”, no training in sight anywhere. Even the wave pool was broken.

[@trumps1supporter371]

Coaster Machine lmao dang sounds like you picked a bad day to go. It seemed fine the one time that I went there but not that great, they didn't seem to have anything that made them stand out from your typical waterpark.

[@Kevin-yh7ph]

Same brother

[@samjacobson553]

I think the shots of the water park were meant to be a red herring for all those people who thought that 2019s addition would be water park related. The racing theme points heavily toward some kind of launch coaster. Maybe even a dueling launch?

[@airtimehillzone]

Sam Jacobson Batman and Robin the chiller version 2.0 🎉🎉

[@samjacobson553]

Fyre the pictorium

[@trumps1supporter371]

Fyre My guess would be American Eagle....

[@samjacobson553]

Trump's #1 Supporter bro it’s the pictorium 😂 the space is cleared and has construction markers already

[@trumps1supporter371]

Sam Jacobson Just cuz they removed it doesn't mean that is where they are going to be building this new ride.

[@foleyas9669]

This may be a stretch but here are some things I picked up on. 1. There is a lot of stuff hinting at a racing theme, and the screens at the beginning and end are defenitly tiers, the employee were obviously a pit crew and there was a lot of checkerd flag stuff, so maybe a launch coaster. 2. They focused on the sunscreen for a LONG time, and it was spf 1000, spf is a lot like sns to me so I don't know. 3. The whole road to glory thing just seems like something good for a launch coaster. 4. There are rumors for an sns launch coaster from a great source.

[@mikeytea5703]

Or SPF 1,000 could mean 1,000 feet breaking some sort of record perhaps?

[@foleyas9669]

Mikey Boy well no as the height limit is only above 200 feet

[@Therecreep]

The height limit at Six Flags Great America is about 315 feet, depending on where you're at in the park.

[@foleyas9669]

Therecreep wow really, hmmm, the possibilities

[@ajfournier4182]

His swim trunks are checkered flags too

[@theartofparks1051]

Alright here we go. Everyone instantly says it’s a water park expansion because the video takes place in the water park. But I don’t think those people really understand the point of these teaser campaigns. As for the water park stuff, that’s exactly what they want you to think. Look at the race car theme. The last time they did an elaborate teaser like that was Goliath. And that thing was full of red herrings based on the skyscreamer and launch coaster rumors. More evidence is that the flags they put around the area show a much bigger plot of land than for a water slide or something. Also the land is very uneven and stretches back behind whizzer which seems like very awkward placement for anything but a coaster. Now on to the teaser itself. First notice the tire spinning and the race car theme shown with the people in jumpsuits acting like a pit crew. Then the guy takes off running (launch?? Maybe a stretch but who knows) toward the capsule slides. The four people in jumpsuits look up and say “good luck up there.” Here’s my theory, the water park thing was to mess with the people who think it will be a water park expansion. The next video will be a similar set up but featuring another tall or extreme ride in the park. The Road to Glory being the road through all of Great America’s most extreme rides leading to the new for 2019 addition which will claim to be the most extreme (tallest/fastest?) ride in the park. I’m thinking of turning this analysis into a KZbin video. What do you all think?

[@hagoween]

You totally should make a video on this. Next year's addition sounds like it'll be a good one. Hopefully :/

[@airtimehillzone]

Do it. I like your idea on the future videos

[@alanaderose8036]

Coastercritique You really should turn this analysis into a KZbin video it’s a really good analysis

[@brandoncole5533]

Dude that was a very dumb question yeah you should turn this into a video

[@eyes3888]

Go for it, I'd watch

[@coastermachine7481]

It zoomed in on a bottle that says SPF 1000. 1000 is possibly a number for a stat on a new coaster

[@IC-lg5ll]

I'm calling it now; it's a Rocket Blast Water Coaster similar to Thunder Rapids at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and will have a theme along the lines of West Coast Racer, like what was recently trademarked. And the 1000 means it will have a length of 1000 feet, taking that record from Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

[@RebeccaR-1983]

Illinois Coasters I agree. The colors of his swim wear are the colors of the Thunder Rapids at SixFlags Fiesta Texas. I guess that it will be a water coaster. Plus it been 7 going on to 8 years since they added anything in the water park at SixFlags Great America.

[@draconicalz8207]

There's 4 people with SPF 1,000

[@MatthewsAdventuresSFGAM]

I am leaning towards a race car themed attraction. The checkered pattern represents a checkered flag used a races when the winner crosses the finish line. Also the employees represent a pit stop team, telling him "good luck up there" also used at races "good look out there" before the race begins.

[@sharkmanxbro7082]

This is my favorite place in the world

[@coaster__]

This is like a pit stop for a race car, first, the guys is running off to the ride (on the road), 2th, the girls in the black suits are show its a team. 3th shes saying 0:15 , she means "Good luck in the race". This means a race car themed water ride (werid) or a awesome Race Car Themed Coaster/Flat Ride. and the slides are right to the area were there is land for the newest ride coming for 2019..

[@trumps1supporter371]

Please let it be a launch coaster like Kingda Ka or something....

[@grantweilandt9077]

When they said good luck up there I think they meant it is gonna be a tall roller coaster

[@AnalytiKroll]

Yay a water park expansion I will never use because its an upcharge...

[@XGaming1]

Those slides hurt, if you guys cared you would make them smooth again...

[@coasternamegenerator5611]

The Flip you can't just make a speed slide smooth. That's the problem with all of them and YOU can fix it by wearing a swim shirt. That's all.

[@ordinary0983]

YOU can't wear a shirt. They don't allow it.

[@TheSonicsean]

I can't believe Six Flags Great America is getting a thousand foot tall coaster

[@hfreddy127]

Spoilers: it will be a 175 ft tall 78 mph S&S launch coaster called Maxx Force This is from August of 2019

[@upsidedownthrills8632]

Its gunna be a roller coaster... Mark my words...

[@eyes3888]

Upside_ downthrills I second that

[@airtimehillzone]

Episode 1. So there will be more

[@Therecreep]

I saw someone on a coaster forum earlier talking about this, and something really caught my eye. The length of Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso is 1,800ft, and there were 4 people spraying SPF 1000 sunscreen. This could hint towards dueling RMC Raptors, which would come out to 4,000ft of track. The water park bit could just be a bit of classic misdirection.

[@airtimehillzone]

If its a racing coaster the track length combined can make 4,000. The crew had spf 1000 and there was 4 of them. The Wonder Woman golden lasso coaster is just under 2,000 ft so if it dualed it would be 4,000 ft

[@brandoncole5533]

J.T. Hill man that's was really smart I didn't even think of that

[@mikeytea5703]

I believe it will either be a 1000 foot long water coaster breaking their water coaster length record at fiesta texas which is only 940 feet long. (They also hint at that with SPF 1,000) Or it will be an RMC Raptor single rail coaster. Six flags Great America has gotten a roller coaster every two years for the past 8 years. Wouldn't be surprising for them to add one this year. Last coaster we got was in 2016. So is it a water coaster, or a regular coaster? Who knows?

[@tylerl.1954]

Well I guess this means the “West Coast Racer” trademark is going to SFGAM then....

[@APTFour]

Real Coasters Or Hurricane Harbor Concord

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Guess we're not getting that coaster!

[@eyes3888]

National Coaster News it could be a red herring

We are

[@alexl5791]

I really hope they show what's going to take the lot area from the Pictorium in this mini series

[@wickedjesse8475]

Those slides were not as fun as I thought they were going to be. Hurt my back and left huge red marks on both my shoulder blades. I also thought I was going to drown in the tube ones. It would be cool if they replaced them with something else.

[@eyes3888]

Also, Canadacoasterfan as well as newenglandcoasterfan believes that we will be getting an S&S launch. I think the pictorium wouldn't be enough space... however a raptor could fit nicely, but probably in a few years.

[@alanaderose8036]

If it’s a Waterpark Expansion they made it way to obvious in this video

[@itzelchavez7649]

This is exciting

[@mitchellries256]

Something to do with the waterpark. Maybe they'll stop charging admission like they used to.

[@alanaderose8036]

Also why would they get a freaking water coaster when the waterpark season isn’t open for that long so they would be spending two much money. Instead of just using that money for a rollercoaster

[@brandoncole5533]

Alana DeRose exactly

[@juliang9545]

I don’t think it may b water park bc they made it a bit too obvious however the road to glory logo looks like the yellow could be a coaster hill and there the colors of the Wonder Woman coaster ? Idkkkk

[@bryanterry1111]

Sounds exciting!!!

[@grantweilandt9077]

There’s five people total one major person that person is without the suit. So there’s only one major coaster or a water ride then for extra little rides either for hurricane Harbor or for great America

[@joshuac9174]

Water coster

[@eyes3888]

When is the second one

[@eyes3888]

Any time now, SFGAM

[@thatbeefman8042]

Max force

[@eyes3888]

Part 2 is here and I'm pretty disappointed

[@Kevin-yh7ph]

They are making a huge mistake if it is a water park expansion we haven’t got a coaster (fuck the joker) since 2014 come on six flags don’t make me kms

[@dylanstaal2019]

Hurricane harbor update??

[@randymoss9996]

Probably a sky rocket 2

Wildcatsman 84 If so, id be ok with it.
