Sounds kind of strange since they just announced that partnership, they should just keep project purple.
News Project 2027/Skyland/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
Huh. Seems sort of pointless if they're announcing the name and everything in about a month (nobody's going to call it by anything other than it's announced name) and they never referred to it publicly as anything other than "Project 2027" and, later, "Project Purple" once the first track arrived in March.
Project Skyland is the internal name for the project. Ryan just happened to mentioned it during a tour, not any kind of announcement. Not really a big deal.
Edit: Here's a video from Coliwood Studios for the media announcement for the partnership with the other Project Purple.

The employees did not come up with this nickname, purely Media. It's been pmo kinda.
Beautiful coaster for sure! When are they going to re theme Superman? It's out of place.
Around the 01:40 mark he comments on the huge area of space between purple and pier. States “stay tuned see what happens”
Now I’m no conspiracy theorist but they def have inside knowledge on projects or hear things that are being discussed and to me that quote and the way he says it seems like a subtle hint that something is also coming to this plot of land.
That’s probably the 2028 area for part 3
I just knew the dislike was you @northdetective lol
I think we finally got a bigger glimpse of the theme for this attraction . The music sounded like it was from a horror film from the early 1900s and the static reflected that. I think we may see this be similar to Hollywood tower of terror but a light house version. They can definitely do a lot of theming in the que line and hopefully a preshow!
The music is a very interesting choice, I think of early 20th, late 19th century ocean/hauntedness theme stemming from it. With the decal in front of the wooded fence detailing ships in the background with a foggy atmosphere illuminated by the large moon, and the trademarked name 'Phantom Spire', I think it largely settles on what we assume for the tower and surrounding boardwalk. Cannot wait for it's reveal.
I mean what else would he have said??? I don't think we were going to hear "no future attractions are planned at this time" or have an instantaneous announcement of plans that are even further in the future before this coaster gets fully revealed
edit: I thought we were talking about a Ryan Eldredge quote. Means even less to me to hear ElToroRyan offhandedly say "stay tuned maings, see what happens." u didn't even quote accurately (maing omission is academic misconduct) and the statement is speculative by nature

Ohhhh man I hope they go all out with this theme. That soundtrack is AWESOME. The potential for the queue and station is off the charts.
My immediate thought when I heard it earlier was that it sounds like a funky version of Palpatine’s throne room theme, and I’m absolutely okay with that.

That’s Gustav Holst’s Mars from 1914, the same The Planets suite as the iconic Jupiter! It’s my favorite symphony ever written. Beautiful to listen to and fun to perform. But a very interesting choice (if it means anything more than just the tone)

Update: I talked to my music theory teacher about what this means. Here's what I learned. Let me preface this by saying it's very possible this means nothing, and it's just a random sound they grabbed off the web. Anyways, The full title of the song in that video is The Planets: Mars, the Bringer of War. It was written in 1914 about three months before WW1 started. It served as the inspiration for the Imperial March in SW. The intention of the piece is to represent humanity marching towards destruction. It also has themes surrounding the occult (makes sense given what we've seen), mechanical monsters and machines (makes sense for a coaster,) and just utter doom.
Note that Mack Extreme Spinners have the capability for on-ride audio, if they wanted... could be interesting.

Looks like they’re just waiting on the big crane at this point.
That launch goes a lot higher than I expected.
