So 2028 looks to be the year for a thrill coaster. But where? I always wanted a Spain addition with a spanish restaurant along the Rhine and a record breaking wing coaster called Icarius. It would be located on the island to the right of Apollos Chariot.

'28 or '29 I'd say. Tampa is technically probably "due" before we are. Iron Gwazi and Pantheon ended up debuting together, but BGT is in far more dire straights and BGW has gotten a ton more cap-ex than BGT since those last major coasters.
Right now it doesn't look like Tampa has a major coaster in '27. Assuming that holds, I could see major coasters at BGT in '28 and then BGW in '29. I'm a big, big fan of an Italy Gardens overhaul with flats for '28 in Williamsburg—happy to let BGT take '28's theoretical, major coaster if we get a few flats as compensation for the "delay."
BGW has been pretty set on not adding new hamlets. If a new hamlet comes in the foreseeable future, I expect it to be a retheme of an existing hamlet (New France -> Scandinavian Country, Festa Italia -> Greece, Forest of Fun -> New Threadneedle Faire, etc) or the addition or carving out of a "sub-hamlet" of sorts from existing guest areas (Wolf's Revenge Area/Festhaus Park -> New Grimm's Hollow, Pompeii Area -> Small Mediterranean Country, etc).

It's really a shame about what happened with Sesame Street, because I had hacked into their servers last year and found a pretty interesting contract with Rocky Mountain Construction...
Exactly. The last time we added a new hamlet(or any new large area) to the park was over 35 years ago. And I honestly don't see how they would without it being a MASSIVE project. The park's loop is complete. Anything added would have to be outside of that with no transportation, infrastructure, or real benefit because the park wouldn't have enough parking to even justify it if they went that route.
