- It will be in the FV, with Ripsaw and Blade being removed/relocated to fit it in. It may also share some ride area with Air.
- It will be a B&M launched wingrider with a theme of 'dark forces' (I know this one has been going round for a while, but it was brought up from a different source, this time)
This is just what I was told. Also, the messenger was apparently informed by some park staff who had access to some early SW8 plans.

If a coaster does replace Ripsaw & Blade that would leave FV as only having coasters and nothing for younger thrill seekers in that area at all. I would rather see a mixture of rides and height restrictions so there is something for everyone in each area.
