They wouldnt have 8 coasters anyway. If you keep all existing coasters, it will be 7... If you remove one and add one, it will be 6 still. You got to remember they had 7 at one point... I agree its too many, but when your coasters suck, you have to make up for it somehow. Id rather have 3/4 amazing coasters than 5 or 6 shitty ones. Comet and Bobsled are the main "guest drawing" coasters anyways. Id rather see Canyon Blaster go before Bobsled.
That returns me to my conversations of removing all the coasters except for comet. The reason I counted 8 was 7 existing coasters with keeping bobsled. then removing the go carts and relocating the pirate ship for a coaster. as in addition to what they have now.

I agree with both parts of the statement. It's the newest big coaster. second newest to the park.

I have a feeling that if we get a el loco it will go in nightmares spot and they could give it a mining theme

if they did get a el loco six flags would probally get smart and decided to get rid of cb and leave a huge chunk of land completly unused and a vancent building left to rust for no reason also they would leave a pretty awesome waiting area just to get overgrown. I would rather keep cb and put el loco where nightmere is. opefully it will bring more people up to ghost town if they did that

-The rep hinted that they will be focusing on the expansion of Ghost Town as she said they have valuable space that can be used up there (HINT HINT: Nightmare building/Nightmare area???)
I think that this hints toward a el loco. I am hoping we will get a euro fighter but ill take whatever

I can picture Six Flags Getting a custom Medium thrill coaster and putting in the Nightmare building and calling it Nightmare at
Crackaxle Canyon because we all know Six Flags isnt too great at thinking of original names :P jk but if you really think about it, they never removed the building or touched the queue or the enterance or anything so it makes you wonder if they have plans for the area someday.

I mean they just have a rope going across the entrance someone who is not fimilar with the park may think that it is just down for matinence. they just have a small sigh saying staff only or something like that

Perhaps you can explain your thinking here. While the ride has a Mexican name it in no way has a Mexican Theme

To expand in general:
The El loco take up very little space. it would not be a good replacement for either the Canyon Blaster or the Nightmare building. Which is why I said it they added it at all it would work in replacement of the Chipper dome and bumper car spot.

The names they asked about really don't fit into the ghost town area. So chances are we will see a smaller addition this year with something larger in 2014 or 15.

Yes the foot print is very small. the depth is 45ft on most models one is 40ft. they then run from 180-230 in length.
