Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2026 Tracker
Last post by jericho - Today at 02:43:13 PMIf SDC is getting a coaster like Big Bear Mountain, it could be ready for next year potentially. Big Bear didn't have track show up until September 2022 and the ride was done on May 12, 2023. So if SDC gets track in very soon, it could be ready to go by late May or June 2025.

Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2026 Tracker
Last post by legoerosion - September 15, 2025, 03:22:56 PMMy current pipe-dream for this project is that it's actually going to be a new named area that goes out past Wildfire and Powder Keg, enough to where you can watch the drops for both rides. Do I expect the latter to happen? Definitely not, but it would be cool to see. I could however see this as our first actual expansion project.

Construction/Rumors / Re: Project 2026 Tracker
Last post by shavethewhales - September 15, 2025, 01:00:31 PMThanks again for the photos mg! With this much clearance around AP, one has to wonder if any changes will come to it. They went through the effort of extending the tunnel, so I assume it is sticking around. I wish they would extend the flume a little after the tunnel and add some more thematic sections like the old days.
Very odd that this construction is taking place on both sides of AP. Seems like more than just a coaster station. Hopefully we'll end up with another set of bathrooms along with more storefronts to fill in this corner of the park.
It's definitely a 2027 addition. We'll see how much they announce on the 27th. They must have something they are bringing in for next year, other wise having a whole "fan fest" seems overkill. On the other hand, what they consider a big announcement and what we might are often different.

Last post by mg - September 14, 2025, 03:14:09 PMThe clearing between American Plunge and Wildfire continues.
I'll try and get better pictures in daylight soon.

Last post by sdcfan88 - September 13, 2025, 09:44:33 PMIn all likelihood this is a 2027 project. I was there last Sunday and the construction area looked stagnet minus the expanded demo work around AP that was already touched on here.

Construction/Rumors / Re: SDC’s 2025 Project(s) and ...
Last post by mg - September 13, 2025, 07:51:43 PMQuote from: mg on August 18, 2025, 01:49:02 PMQuote from: legoerosion on August 18, 2025, 07:39:58 AMA new trademark was filed back in May for something called "Stars, Lights, & Christmas Nights" I'd assume it's for the new Plaza area...
I saw that awhile back. It is registered decorative magnets, drink ware, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, hats, etc, Ornaments, snow globes, AND Conducting of parades for entertainment purposes.
The parade part is what I found the most interesting. I'm not sure how long Herschend has the Rudolph license.
It has now been confirmed that 2025 will be the final year for the Rudolph parade. Could we be getting an all new Stars, Lights, and Christmas Nights parade in 2026?

General Silver Dollar City Talk / Re: Transit Department
Last post by sdcfan88 - September 09, 2025, 04:17:29 PMI balked at this when it was first brought up but with seeing the concepts this actually works for me. It will make the vehicles look less like corporate fleet vehicles.
