SDC’s 2025 Project(s) and Park Developments

[mg]

As other parks being to make announcements for 2025 and we approach the year anniversary of the Fire in the Hole announcement event, what are we thinking for SDC?

[Coaster]

Historically, SDC makes their announcement for the next season in August. And in recent seasons, they have had countdowns and reminders on their social media for the announcement date. There’s been no word on social media and nothing from the park. So, I’m not expecting any major announcements for the 2025 season. The park has also taken at least a season after a major ride addition to focus on festivals and smaller improvements.

We are likely looking at an announcement for the resort sometime late 2024 possibly but probably 2025.

2025 will be an infrastructure year.  Look at areas of the park that have not been “upgraded” yet and you can probably guess where the attention will be located.  They’re doing it systematically.  Haven’t heard if the front gate will finally be redone or if they plan to continue their piece meal process that they’ve been doing

Yeah, the pattern of the last decade or so is two years of minor updates/festival changes, then big addition, then two (or three years) again... Used to be that we'd see something larger every other year, but things certainly got off kilter on the last few major rides. Mystic Falls, Time Traveler, and even FITH ended up being major headaches during construction. Fingers crossed that they'll eventually have an "easy" project.

What I think we. will see:
path/traffic flow improvements, repair/replacement of a few small things here and there(possible expansion of mobile ordering), they will really focus hype on the new festival replacing Street Fest. possibly a new summer show.

maybe some work on the entrance plaza area

I think we may hear of big expansion plans that may span over a few years...kind of like what was done at Dollywood. Earlier this year when the Fire In The Hole announcements were made they said big news was coming and talked about all the land SDC owns. So maybe something like that, but I'd expect some big teasers would need to happen before they just throw that out there.

2025 Hopefully brings a new Christmas event. They ruined the Christmas Carol show by changing the songs and replaced the beloved It's a Wonderful Life. They could use at least one new show and a new parade or at least an expanded parade as it is really short. I have season passes to SDC and Dollywood and they are adding some kind of flying theatre in the near future, I got a survey about its name. The park should add a Flying theatre in the old FITH building. The park needs more weather resistant rides.
