What improvements or changes do you want to see at SDC in 2025?

Here's 2 that are at the top of my mind:
1. Fireman's play house needs a refurb. It has a lot less balls and bags than it did when it opened, the floor has some spots that are decaying, and the whole building needs a deep clean.

2. A better "all season cup", I liked the all season cup idea but the cup they used is annoying. Please use the same style as the regular refill mug.
2b. I'd really like to see a system where you don't have to get a new cup(or vip tumbler) every year but can instead just reactivate them. Either a chip in the cup or scanning your season pass seem like possible solutions.

^ As I mentioned in my trip report post, a much smoother riding Thunderation!  And a return of the "mile-high mountain cream pies"!  The pie shop really did some great pies- chocolate, coconut, lemon, peanut butter chocolate, and many more.  I would love to see the return of those.  And if not that then a return of the fried pie wagon that they had last year.  Yes it was a food truck and did not fit in with the theme but at least it made pies available  I, and many others I'm sure, would love to see some TLC restored to the American Plunge.

I still want improvements to Bluegrass and BBQ to bring it back to its hey-day. Unfortunately they cut it down a lot this year. Feels like they are about to get rid of it for some reason. At least we get Rhonda Vincent twice this year as well as some other neat festival things. I'd love to hear more bluegrass throughout the park and less "theme park" music that has been creeping in. In fact, I'd like to see less "theme park" influence throughout and see them go back to paying attention to visuals such as hiding modern appliances to at least a modest extent. I'd also like the see the old Percy's space used again, and perhaps the Mine restaurant to re-open for good.

I agree with the visuals.  SDC needs to concentrate on the "authenticity appearance" as it seems like they lost all desire about the old time look.  A little bit at a time, they are moving away from what got them to where they are.  They've quit concentrating on the "you have a great past ahead of you" and are more about "making memories worth repeating."  Sadly, the "past" is fading away....

Grand Expedition needs a refresh, replace faded banners, fresh paint, a few more midway games and a cotton candy or mini donut stand. The smell alone from one these would make a big difference. More benches and rocking chairs. Finally the restaurant in Midtown reopened with rotisserie chicken menu.

Yeah, grand expo definitely needs a refresh. I'm hopping in the festival area they add some restrooms. It would be nice to not have to go all the way to red gold if you're at the elephants with little kids. If they do add restrooms hopefully they will have more than 1 family restroom as a part of it.
