Swoosh, since you know the most about the new area.....but really can't tell, could you help us shuffle through the internet rumors? Maybe with a hot or cold kind of response....or maybe a "you got ?? of the 8 correct".
These are the things I've been hearing from Citizens and around the net:
1. Geyser Gulch will close in August and will be raised for a complete new play structure.
2. The train tracks will be rerouted.
3. This will be a complete new area, not just one ride.
4. A B&M wing rider is coming to the park.
5. The employee parking lot will also be utilized for the area.
6. GG will not be removed, it will just be renovated to be used for new area.
7. A new dark ride will be part of the experience.
8. The shot tower from CC will be utilized in new area.
Are there any other rumors floating around that are not included in this list?

I don't want to pretend like I really know what's going on at the park, but from what I've seen flow through this site over the past few years I think we have reason to expect the following:
1. Probably
2. Maybe
3. According to the concept pitches (which have a good track record of being fairly accurate), this is a remake and expansion of the geyser gulch area with multiple new family rides.
4. Not this year.
5. Doesn't look like it will be used just yet, though we do know from previous concept pitches and the old GE artwork that the parking lot is considered an area for expansion.
6. Yes, this is what the concept pitches specifically stated. Plus it wouldn't make sense to completely scrap it.
7. Haven't heard anything about this other than wishful thinking. SDC has never made any mention of the possibility of a new dark ride that I can remember, though it's certainly possible in the near future.
8. Yes, this was included in each pitch for the area, which probably means it's a sure thing.
