Its gone save for the station. Still no news on what will replace it.

I'll bet the station will disappear right after the halloween event is over. They've got to get a move on if they are going to make this into a mini-area. I can't think of anything else they could be doing.

There’s lots of construction updates about a large new expansion area everywhere but here, thought I’d mention it.

Yeah, DW news always gets away from me, but it seems like their 2019 addition is going to be bigger than anyone imagined. The area they are clearing, if the most recent images I've seen are correct, is over twice the size of Fireman's Landing. They might be getting land ready for an FL-style addition and then some other things on down the road after that.

It'll be interesting to see what rides they go with. I expect at least one ride in the area will be a decent sized thrill ride. Perhaps a frisbee style ride?

Some were toying with the idea that this area is gonna be part of a new themed area and for a future Mack coaster that will tie into it sometime in 2020. I am skeptical though even though HFEC has always done a two park deal with attractions in the past.

Just a huge area... Got to be clearing for at least a few different projects down the line. I can't imagine them filling this up all at once.

Dollywood posted this video to Facebook showing some of this years upgrades.

It all looks really nice in my opinion. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
