There has been talk that the Ragin Cajun (Wild Mouse Coaster) is going to be taken down and replaced, so is 6 flags buying a coaster to put in?? I would assume that they are not building a new coaster, and What is to become of the Iron Wolf area?

How is Ragin' Cajun NOT a TRUE roller coaster? It's a lot less painful than some of the wild mouse coasters I've been on. On the trip I took to GrAm in 2005 the group I was with all saw the Mardi Gras section as just an extension of Orleans Square, not its own separate area. Nothing amazing, but definitely not deserving retheming or removal after only 9 years of existence.
I think if they do remove Ragin Cajun, they could replace it with a ride similar to Green Lattern at Magic Mountain, and transform the Mardi Gras section into a super hero theme. As they already have the Superman Ultimate Flight and Batman the ride in that area. Another possible replacement would be a ride like the Superman ride at SFDK. It has a small enough footprint to fit in Ragin Cajun's spot. Add the Dark Night ride, and you have a super hero fest.
As for The Iron Wolf area. The park could really use a wooden coaster. I could see them building a decent wooden twister there. If not, it would also be a good location for a ride like Maverick, or one similar to Mystery Mine at Dollywood. Or, even a Full Throttle type ride. It would not be too hard to come up with a western themed coaster for that area.
But, since they invested heavily in the construction of X-flight, I don't think we'll be seeing a shiny new coaster there next year. If we do, it won't be anything spectacular.
I didn't do it! I swear!!

Viper is in the top 100 coasters, but I agree, a Hyper-Wooden Coaster would be awesome, or a tunneled coaster.
Ragin Cajun and the Demon are my two least favorite coaster rides, so both could use updating along with the Iron Wolf area, There are still alot of good coasters in the market, The Time Machine/Led Zepplin the ride in South Carolina would be a good purchase.
