I'm betting nothing or a vague more things coming soon for this project.

Probably will be mostly about the resort and season passes for next year, maybe a new show.

I actually agree with this. That announcement is pretty underwhelming. Usually they hype up their new rides but this fanfest has blah written all over it. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Oh, they'll have some interesting things to share if they are setting up a whole event. I'm guessing they'll be providing a sneak peak into the plans for the coming years. Probably going to pre-announce something big coming while also showing off all the festival changes/additions, minor new things, etc.

They may also announce that a ride is leaving in the near future. I don't think we'll see another FITH-style exact replacement, but rides like TNT, FM, and AP are clinging to life and don't seem to fit what corporate wants for the park anymore. Like I've said before, I expect them to continue replacing things with fancier modern versions. They may announce that 2026 is the last season for one of those rides. Just my guess.

I'm also guessing we'll see interior details of the resort and maybe some additional information about it.
I know interior renderings have been shown at a few speaking engagements, but they haven't been shared very publicly yet.

Sounds like the PTB wanted their own version of D23 which is what this supposedly is.

Duelist

I got an email a couple of hours ago from SDC about the naming of a new family coaster being built.  The name choices were:

Miner's Rush
Prospector's Rush
Daredevil Railway

I was asked which name I preferred (I picked Miner's Rush) and which names fit in with the theme of the park.  I was then asked who I thought the name would appeal to (pre-teens, teens, adults, older adults, etc).  Then I was asked to put the names in order as 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice and I put them in the order above.  The first questions asked were if I and my family were season pass holders and to choose from the last 5 years if we had bought season passes (we have all 5 years).  Unfortunately this sounds like a T-N-T replacement to me.

BIG BEAR type ride which is a next generation TNT ride.

All 3 of those names suck but I would choose daredevil railway. Fits in with the daredevil narrative of AP. I could see them re-theming and restoring AP. It certainly needs it.
