I think that clearing is simply a backstage service road. It connects the back of the park to some of the key backstage areas and the main road. It's massive due to the amount of grading required to make it passable for large trucks. Guessing this will become a primary haul route for the park for many back of house things. I also originally thought it was too huge to just be BOH, but the satellite view makes it clearer.

I'm wondering what they needed the flat area for to the west of PK, but that is probably also a new back of house area for things like landscaping greenhouses, storage, or whatever. If this is going to be a coaster, it looks like it will be sandwiched between PK and wildfire. Since they are now clear cutting all the trees around coasters, this is probably a good thing.

I don't think they will expand the park much more beyond the area they have now. It's already as large as most parks. You can't get too big or it's burdensome on guests to get around to everything, especially with the hills.
