That is exactly what I have been wondering, as well. We all know they have a lot of land over there but if they put this thing between PK and Wildfire, does that close all that off?

If I had to guess I'd say the station area will be past PK's first hill. 
There is a reason why nothing will be out over by the waterfall but I'm not sure how common knowledge it is - so I'll refrain.

I am 99% sure this is a clue to the next coaster. I found it on their FB page.

It looks like a B&M by the restraints, I dont know what kind of coaster it is because I cant tell exactly if the chain/track is straight under them or off to the side, and it looks like it is indoors.

They even go as far to say it is just a viral photo

As we all know, they want to keep all future rides a secret. They could be lying just so we dont start speculating it.

Or it could really just be a stock photo.  I've seen that photo used in memes.

These kids made their internet debut on YouTube.  https://youtu.be/dBdFe1MY3SQ
Ride in question is Saw the Ride at Thorpe Park.
Screen grab at around 0:59 went to an answers.com slideshow, and from there, memes everywhere.

Thanks for finding that, joecorn! (BTW, I modified your post to fix the link)

The harnesses for the new ride will not look like that. 
I can confirm it and put an end to this needless speculation

I'm pretty sure that the reason was disclosed in a prior thread but don't ask me which thread!

Junior, too!

Could it be the beloved waterfall concrete has aged  to the point it has to be removed, opening up the area for a new coaster?!? Even though I still have many friends on park from the old days I usually don't discuss development plans with them so I can only speculate like everyone else.

^I think it's a strong possibility that it will get taken out at some point in the not so distant future for one thing or another. We've discussed it before, and it's outlived it's original purpose and is going to turn into a maintenance issue with little reason to keep it around. Personally I wish they'd rebuild it the way it was meant to be and turn the area into a nice food court, but I expect to see a ride plopped in there someday.
