"Vekoma’s historically bad reputation"I will not argue with you, however, the Vekoma Super Boomerang is not following the marking that have been spotted around the main entrance area. The markings that have been spotted follow an almost, “S”, pattern from the bottom of the Go-Kart Track and through/over the gardens. Also, a boomerang, how original is that?? . But I completely understand that Six Flags have some kind of relationship with Vekoma with the new family coaster at Six Flags St Louis or whatever, but it doesn’t automatically mean that they have signed a big coaster deal with them.
Infact as I am writing this however, if Six Flags Over Georgia does get the Ultra Surf, it could signal a contract with them. My reasoning behind this is because the Vekoma that was supposed to open this year at St Louis isnt open, they can’t get a feel for how the ride is to operate and maintain, especially after Vekoma’s historically bad reputation, just look at Goliath at New England and how that ended up. So, my point is that it is highly likely that this is an Intamin, they have 3 main pre-set models on their website and some behind the scenes as well for parks to pick from, this is sort of relevant as they have said they were fortunate to get it at the right time and managed to get something sorted in a time. So, I understand your logics (not really) behind it being a Vekoma Super Boomerang, however the main option I can see is an Intamin of some kind, granted it may not be the Figure-8 Coaster, but it could be something similar.

-Intamin Forever, probably.
436 is such a random-ass number, and the only way people can make it fit into their categories is by splitting it up into 4/3/6 or 4/36, when... it's not split up like that in the tweet.
