Darren Torr, president of RMC, told Amusement Today recently that "You’ll see Wild Moose coasters in production shortly". Blooloop also released an article championing the coaster last week, no word on sales but they're typically a canary for big new industry projects.
Now the culprit allegedly is Lost Island Theme Park. All this is courtesy of a "Something Hot is Coming" teaser that features printouts of both the Wild Moose and prototype Raptor layouts, presented at NoCoasterCon last weekend. Pay no mind to the audio, it's borrowed from their drop tower pre-show;

The questions are, have they talked to RMC? Probably, mulling over new attractions is something that parks do nonstop. Will they actually build the Wild Moose, or even a Raptor? Who knows?
Personally I feel like this would not be a great choice. The park's attendance figures are still excruciatingly low and the extremely successful waterpark next door is what's carrying it over the finish line. Marketing is what they need, and there could be $6-million put into that instead of a new coaster. It likely doesn't help that an RMC prototype in a park with two somewhat-troublesome secondhand coasters wouldn't be a smart call.
Overall however, I'd keep an eye on the Wild Moose, we do seem to be on the verge of one happening...
Edit: Moved to new thread now that it's confirmed to be a Raptor. - ECG
