I have some pictures of the clearing beyond WildFire and PowderKeg that were taken with RayBan Meta sunglasses on PowderKeg. I know that the forum doesn't allow photos from on rides, but wasn't sure about if they were taken with sunglasses, which are allowed on rides.

Delete if not allowed...

These were taken about a week ago with RayBan Meta Sunglasses.

Area of the photo makes me think they're already teasing the 2026 project. But I can also see them teasing lift hill walks, I believe Dollywood started offering them this year.

SILVER DOLLAR CITY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OZARK MOUNTAINS, Mo. (April 2025)
IT'S TIME TO UNLEASH THE LEGEND OF OZARK HOLLOW
A new chapter is beginning in the heart of the Ozark Mountains.
Silver Dollar City is proud to unveil its largest expansion in park history: Ozark Hollow — an immersive new land filled with thrills, storytelling, and heart-pounding adventure. The centerpiece: Fire in the Ozarks, a record-breaking family coaster that takes guests deep into the untamed wilds.
And that's just the beginning.
"We are writing a bold new future for Silver Dollar City," said Brad Thomas, President of Silver Dollar City Attractions. "This land connects to the spirit of adventure that runs deep in this region, in this park, and in the hearts of our guests. From the soaring heights of the mountains to the mystery of underground caves, the Ozarks come alive in Ozark Hollow — plus handcrafted dining, frontier shopping, and never-before-seen shows."
This long-awaited addition has been carefully crafted to honor the heritage of the Ozarks while offering new experiences to all ages. The new coaster features multiple launches and indoor-outdoor thrills through mountain caverns and misty valleys.
Along with the opening of Ozark Hollow, Silver Dollar City is enhancing guest areas throughout the park, increasing shade, updating pathways, and expanding dining. All of this is just the beginning — the future is blazing bright for Silver Dollar City and generations to come.

Whoa, that's a lot more than what I was expecting. I'm trying to process this. So we're getting a new land, new updates throughout the park, and a massive new coaster with indoor/outdoor sections? So like an improved Big Bear (or what Big Bear was supposed to be)? That's incredible.

That's what I'm seeing. And with Terry Wayne Sanders wearing aviator gear, Im hoping for a flying coaster. The only negative thing I'll say is the ride name is too close to Fire In the Hole.

Wait, how do we know this is true? They censored the announcement to get people guessing, and I'm not seeing any confirmation on the SDC website.

ColaSDC

The comment was correct! I stand corrected! This is so cool!
Now I'm wondering how the commenter knew lol

It's one of the comments, JonnyAmusement wrote it. He is a very big Dollywood poster. They responded that he "won" the season passes they offered if somebody guessed it word for word. I don't actually think that he got it word for word, but he may be close to the real thing. Unless they gave him the press release and he spoiled it too early.

Seems very ChatGPT though. I'd wait until 11 to see what is announced.

ColaSDC

11 is when it's announced? alright. Fire in the m Ozark is a crappy coaster name with FITH already, so I hope the real name is different.

mg

I think people are jumping to conclusions and mixing different things to make what they want. That is not a real press release... the comment about him winning was a joke.

I am fairly confident that the press release and announcement today is actually the results of the Best Theme Park voting and not a ride announcement.

This is NOT a real press release. It sounds like he uploaded the redacted teaser to chatgpt and had it fill in the gaps to create this.
