Has anyone been able to see if they’ve removed any more rubble from the plot or is it stagnant?

It's more or less stagnant there is possibly some form utility work or it could simply be a temporary storage location for cable spindles.

Because the wing coaster rumor is actually very popular, I decided to do a Planet Coaster creation to see how one could fit in Volcano's land. I think it still needs some work, but it works as a wireframe concept. That funky element which would be on the gravel pile is a finnish loop; I don't know if it would work on a wing coaster but I felt that area was originally too blank. The area in red is a boundary so that the coaster doesn't go into the LGW backstage area (it does a little but it's not too big a deal).

Hey, anyone remember those backstage trailer things (for the show and possibly Haunt) next to Reptilian that looked like crates? I don't know if my eyes aren't precise, but it looks like they're not there anymore. Where did they go? I think the long crate next to the air compressor still stands.
Lol, whelp, the genie is out of the bottle now (and someone is about to get fired).

I can't say much, but I will say that everything I've heard about KD 2025 lately has been that it's a new, custom, Bolliger & Mabillard Wing Coaster—almost certainly a launched one. Given that these leaks match what I've heard about the project to a tee and that the plans pictured look about as authentic as they could possibly get, I think it's very safe to assume these are real and this is exactly what Kings Dominion is currently planning for 2025.

UPDATE (October 1st):
The original Reddit post has been deleted. I've attached copies of the leaked images below.

I’m just glad the whole “fill the plot with flat rides” discourse is finally over lmao
I will take approximately “one Thunderbird” up off exit 98. Please and thank you.
I haven't been on Thunderbird since it's opening year but I absolutely loved it. So if this is anything like it, I'm excited for this addition. Also nice to know Dominator won't be the only B&M at the park now. Looking at that station rendering does make me curious on what the theme will be if this leak is legit.
Half the general public doesn’t even think Tumbili counts as a coaster. Calling Tumbili a wing coaster is like calling bees a type of bird solely because they can fly
They look so different to me, and free spins are such different ride experiences, that I never considered this being a "conflict" until you pointed it out.
And even afterward, I feel like this is splitting hairs.
Honestly the people concerned about the “wing” redundancy. My bigger concern park experience wise was IF it was a lift Wing then there WOULD be a sense of redundancy with Dominator and the parks 2nd (*first ever built custom for Kings Dominion lets note*) B&M. Themed launched wing? That’s a different story. I have ridden 1 roller coaster like that in the US and it’s 10 hours away, like out in Indiana. Sure it’s not far off 64 but i mean West Virginia is a lot to drive through.
This is the perfect model for the park IMO. I was sort of always expecting it would be a B&M Wing (even after the previous iteration was shelved), but the fact this is launched is just the cherry on top. SO hyped that this is in the works!
And in true Cedar Fair fashion, (at least in these renders) it's got that signature burnt orange track
