Construction/Rumors / Re: SDC's 2023 Project(s) and Park Developments

New to this board but a long-time SDC fan/visitor, born in '76 and been going to SDC since 1980. Sad to hear FitH is going away (it's my favorite ride) but I'm not surprised. It was my introduction to roller coasters and was also my daughter's! We have fond memories together there and have season passes so we will enjoy it this last year. I've been saddened that many of the older "legacy" buildings and "easter eggs" around the park have deteriorated and been forgotten. The "ghost trap", the "peep holes", the fireman's cemetery...my daughter's favorite is FM and Grandfather's Mansion which have both lost their luster in my eyes but she loves them (she is 9). I've conveyed my concerns about the park losing its history and charm every year when I receive the questionnaire as a season pass holder. I understand the need to continue to grow and expand to accommodate the growing crowds, attract new visitors, and stay compliant with safety and accessibility but it's all the small details that make it all special. Don't get me started on the loss of SDC made crafts that can be bought for decent prices being replaced by forigen-made trinkets that don't have anything to do with the 1880's.  Anyway, I'm excited to see the new additions and finally be able to walk all the way around Lake Silver!
