There is surveying in the Volcano spot going on right now, per sources. Looks like 2025 is the replacement!

FINALLY SOMETHING! But it’s a bit weird to me since they haven’t cleared out all that rubble yet.
KDfanatics on Instagram. Saw them post earlier about that.
Has anyone seen this video? They have a crazy amount of space to work with.

I’ve seen it. It looks like they’re now using a portion of the space next to Reptilian lift hill as backstage for Let’s Get Wild or whatever parade event they have in JX. I wonder how this will affect the upcoming attraction.
I’m just wondering is it safe to say that the backlot re-theme and anaconda refresh is coming next year?
What possible indication does ths give that would make that "safe to say"?
Nah, definitely not safe to say yet. Hopefully, but I have seen no evidence of actual movement yet.
I had never noticed them until now!
On another note, I wouldn’t be surprised if those tire tracks were accidentally put there by one of the jeeps used in Let’s Get Wild.
The bird tracks on the runway outside of Outpost, have been there since last May. You can find them pictured at the end of this post.
I also agree on how the tire tracks could be from the jeeps for Let's Get Wild; though they generally angled the jeeps in a different direction from those marks.
Instead they're likely from the various pickup trucks brought in by Maintenance; as having been in the park at 5am to see the start of the Maintenance team's daily prep for all the rides, which I witnessed during last year's campout in Jungle X, there is generally quite a bit of vehicular activity across the park -- where as a side note, may be a minor reason the park kept asphalt (vs pavers) for the longest time. Finally, there is very little (logical) reason why they would add tire tracks across a manhole cover, which will inevitability just get rotated at some point
.The jaguar tracks on the other hand are a newer addition. But I honestly cannot recall whether they were added towards the end of last season, or when exactly.
The marks look to be on purpose, assuming they are, it looks like the were going for tire prints in mud/dirt. Not only are they perfect but they stop where the pavers begin. Also tire marks don’t just show up like that especially that dark unless it’s from breaking at a high speed but not only are workers not aloud to drive over 20mph in the park but the marks would be skids smeared on the pavement like so.Instead they're likely from the various pickup trucks brought in by Maintenance; as having been in the park at 5am to see the start of the Maintenance team's daily prep for all the rides, which I witnessed during last year's campout in Jungle X, there is generally quite a bit of vehicular activity across the park -- where as a side note, may be a minor reason the park kept asphalt (vs pavers) for the longest time.

Edit: I forget what the exact speed was but I’m sure it’s not over 35 mph so don’t quote me on that lol.

They can always rotate it back to align with the tire marks can’t they?there is very little (logical) reason why they would add tire tracks across a manhole cover, which will inevitability just get rotated at some point
Considering a Volcano replacement, it would be cool to partner with Intamin. Seems like Intamin has been making their name known again with all these new multi-launch coaster installations. Even BGW used Intamin for both Pantheon and DarKoaster. It seems as if Volcano's spot could fit a decent sized Intamin multi-launch coaster that could perhaps give Pantheon a run for it's money. But will KD do what they've always done and take a more exclusive route?
Thoughts?
