I believe it's KI (one of them anyway) is doing a new space themed Snoopy/Peanuts show this year. So you might be on to something. Lol

I’d be pretty disappointed if they put in a B&M invert. It’s a long shot, but I’d love to see a big Gravity Group wooden coaster. Like Voyage. Heck I’d take a GG family coaster like Kentucky Flyer.
 
^^-- launched B&M invert.

A Safari theme would favor some kind of long rambling family coaster. Keeping with the original formula would require a themed high speed launch coaster though.

The tower still stands, I think they're taking it down but being really careful.

I interpret Cedar Fair's recent change of direction as that parks won't get more coasters, but be improved by replacement. Including the top parks in the chain such as Kings Island (new giga) and CP (SV).

Except both projects were finalized before Cedar Fair's change in investment strategy. Expect more of a focus on themeing instead of big and overly contrived rides, more Copperhead Strikes and Hangtimes, not SteVes and Yukon Strikers.
 
What would make me happy is if they put some TLC into their existing rides. I like the retracking they've done for Racer. Continue that in the next offseason, and how about doing the same for Grizzly? Restore the FX on Backlot like they've apparently restored them on The Crypt and restore more theming on FoF. If they did all that it would help soothe the wounds until they get a replacement for Volcano built.

Looking back to 10 (already TEN!) years ago in 2009, Intimidator 305 construction/land clearing began on June 1, 2009 for a $25 million one-of-a-kind giga coaster. There is plenty of time to construct a full sized thrill coaster for 2020 (if they planned/budgeted for it).

At the pace that they are going with demolition, Volcano's former site should be a completely clear palette by Memorial Day weekend.

I don’t think it’s been mentioned here, but Coaster Studios pointed out that in the teaser posters posted around Volcano, there are 21 little yellow lines beneath the “Expeditions on the Horizon” text. Those lines always seemed sort of out of place to me to be just coincidental, so I think that might be a hint the project is for 2021.
 
I wouldn’t be shocked if KD got an invert considering they’re the only major amusement park that doesn’t have one

If you look at the lines, they DO line up with the text at the top, even though they don't line up with "Horizons". More likely this was bad art design and coincidence.
 
Disney's California Adventure/Disney's Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Magic mountain, and Animal Kingdom to name a few. Every Universal park in the states as well as... SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, Holiday World, Dollywood (assuming the small inverts don't count), Nick Universe, Silver Dollar City, Valleyfair, Fun Spot (both), Knoebels, Kennywood....

Would you like me to list more?

Maybe 2 or 3 more just to be sure. I don't think the point is quite so clear.
