Since Fiesta Texas is kinda a show park mainly, it probably wont get it. I think. But, most likely, if they want their attendance rate to go up, they might put it in. _________________

| This has been an ongoing Screamscape rumor and nothing more for the last 3 years or so. |

that would be cool. i could just imagine flying over and around the canyons. ahhh... makes me happy. too bad it probably wont happen, even though it deserves a new ride about now, as does AW. too bad parks with "dropping attendance" and "no fame to their names", like Cedar Point or SFGadv can't get a new ride like we do. lol.  _________________ Help!!!

| Since when does GrAdv have fame to its name? If I recall correctly, MM used to be the one getting all the great things in the world. Whose heard of them recently? |

From screamscape
2006 - New Coaster / Batman Flyer - Rumor - (9/24/04) Things are always subject to change at Six Flags, but it seems that any chance of adding a new coaster to the park have now been pushed back to 2006.
(7/21/04) Screamscape sources now tell us that things are not looking good for the park in 2005. The overall Six Flags attendance drops followed by a huge drop in their stock may cause 2005 to be rather light year again for Six Flags in general at many of their parks. Nothing is set in stone yet... we have just been warned that things are not looking good.
(1/16/04) Another source tells us that the rumored Batman themed B&M Flyer is currently on track for 2005 now, a date they are now happy with since it can coincide with the release of the next Batman film due to start shooting next month.
(11/5/03) Though this isn’t totally unexpected, it seems that Batman themed B&M Flyer project may have been delayed for the second year in a row.
(3/19/03) Sources tell Screamscape that the B&M Flyer will most likely be placed on the old Joker’s Revenge site near the cliff wall. If the rumors are true, this will be a custom layout different from the previous Superman coasters at other parks. It will stand around 140 feet tall and feature a Zero-G Roll (or two) and something new for a Flyer... a Dive Loop.
(10/22/02) Despite the fact that a B&M Flyer (with a Batman theme) was planned for the park on or near the site of the Joker’s Revenge it seems that corporate has delayed these plans until 2004.

FROM SCREAMSACPE:
We get our insider information from people sitting at home on their computers with nothing better to do than send in rumors. A large percentage of our insiders are 15 year olds, while the remainder is made up of lame coaster enthusiasts who like seeing their own desires in the form of text on a website plagued with pop-ups. The correct information that we have comes from press releases that we read from other websites and put it on ours as if it was our own revelation. In the event that one of the rumors listed on our site actually comes to pass, all credit should be given to the sun god of Mithraism, who's will it was for this event to take place. Please note that we at Screamscape.com do take ourselves very seriously and we will not accept submissions from anyone with the name "Dolphinhead." All other submissions, however, are entirely welcome. Thank you, and have a nice day. _________________ Too much music for you to handle.

Screamscape isn't that great of a source for park rumors. Most of the rumors they post are just blatant speculations that people think would fit nicely with the park, but not the chain's budget. I'm sure SFFT will get an addition to their line up, but not for a while. As TTG stated, they're more show oriented, so I see it not coming for a while. _________________ If Houston were a dog, she'd be a mutt with 3 legs, one bad eye, fleas the size of corn nuts, and buck teeth.

Sometimes people send in fake information to Screamscape to see how far a wild rumor will go.
Othertimes people will give people information to see how quickly they run to Screamscape and spill the beans. Many times I've given false information to people, and it's on Screamscape in a matter of days.
I appreciate all my visitors, but don't expect me to open my mouth about what AstroWorld may (or may not) get next year. _________________ Panther Modern
