Their 40th anniversary celebration lasted across two years. EDIT: it's because a portion of Kings Dominion originally opened in 1974 for previews, and then the full park opened in 1975. Most other parks never opened like this AFAIK.
Think you might have been looking at the haunted river/mountain remnants
Additionally, behind the coke stand between Jungle X and Flight of Fear, there are white flags marking the edge of proposed excavation. Thought I would share this, I hope it helps!
Anaconda could do with a ride to the dump
There could still be a major flat ride for 2024 and a coaster in 2025. KD doesn’t seem to tease major flat rides far in advance, like they never did with Delirium.
If a coaster is from Gerstlauer though, like an infinity coaster, could it start construction later in the year? Monster started construction in 2015, the same year the log flume it replaced closed down and was removed, and the same went for Hangtime when it replaced Boomerang and Riptide (latter closed in 2015). Given that this land is mostly free, it would've been a great opportunity for KD to take their time to construct something like this. But TBH, it makes more sense for them to focus on JX's needs first, which in the eyes of plenty of us is a flat ride or two.
Cedar Point didn't start teasing/releasing announcement dates for Wild Mouse until the day before the announcement IIRC. Yes, I know that's a smaller attraction, but I still think it's good for reference.
I would take that with Jungle-X pushing further back and a Volcano replacement in 2025.
They didn't do teasing for Windseeker or Delirium before those were announced. There could be a flat ride coming and it would fit well around where the survey flags were spotted near FoF and the coke stand, if it's what they're indicating. Then there would still be enough room for a new coaster in the gaping hole. I don't remember any teasing for Tundra Twister either.
