Apparently, there's no rumor thread yet, but mud is getting moved at Six Flags Great America for what looks like a yet to be announced new (family) coaster coming to the Yukon area in 2027.

Some user in the German forum found this old reddit rumor, which makes it seem as though we can expect a Vekoma SFC Phoenix clone:

This is construction at a major park, why is this not stuck?

I agree.
I absolutely love SFCs, and done right like Flying Fox is this could be a big deal. SFCs going here and potentially to Silver Dollar City are awesome news for the coaster world.

Off topic, but I thought SDC was building something bigger.

C'mon, you know it'll be one train ops.

With the way Herschend keeps adding SFCs, and Silver Dollar City losing a frontline family coaster at the end of the year, the odds look pretty good for one in the near future.

I don’t doubt they’ll get one, but that’s not what they’re getting right now
