SDC’s 2025 Project(s) and Park Developments

There is a new entrance gateway under construction where you enter the Plaza from Grand Expo.

The back of Red Gold is being overhauled to look great in the Plaza. I appreciate the attention to detail in even painting the HVAC units.

Construction also continues at the resort. I didn't get a photo of it, but the valley where the abandoned mansions is being filled in with the dirt being removed from the resort site.

^ Thanks for the pics mg !

Can't wait for the park to open! I'll keep my eyes peeled around wildfire/powder keg to see construction progress on project 2026. Maybe some footers?

Thanks for the photos mg. I wonder how many millions have been spent so far on all the earthwork... That might be the most expensive part of this project, and it's probably a big reason why it took so long. I still wonder what the final bill was for all the parking lot work that they spent nearly two decades on.

I'm looking forward to pics of the new plaza on opening day. Wish I could be there.

You won't have to look very hard to see work being done. I'm already bracing myself for the complaints that will be incoming. It's pretty drastic

Uh oh, that doesn't sound good.

Betting the AP/WF area got clear cut and the waterfall is gone. On the plus side hopefully the dead ends between WF/PK are gone.

I wouldn't recommend making that bet

legoerosion · March 11, 2025, 07:41:04 PM

Could it be the trees between WF/PK got cut and you can now see between them clearly? I'm drawing blanks on that area that could cause complaints haha

Since it was released by someone else - can confirm now that the HH restrooms have been completely redone for this season

It's about time that happened! Hopefully they added stalls to both sides, the wait for that restroom is longer than the rides themselves sometimes.

Honestly, as long as most of the scenery and themeing remains, i dont mind the tree clearing. I'm more excited to see construction progress. Hopefully by summertime track shows up and we'll have a decent idea of the manufacturer.
Still betting on a B&M hyper/giga!

Did they keep urinals that go all the way to the floor? My kid loves those.

Facebook will be fun🙃 I might have to come up with some crazy theories to share on there about why they "cut all the trees down" to share with the people that are never coming back again.
