Grand Blocky Mall Station

**Grand Blocky Mall** is an interchange station for lines 1, 4, X1, X3, FlashTeens Circular Line, Horse Expressway, and Experimental Hyperloop Line, opened on 12th September 2015. It's one of the biggest and most important stations on the map, and served as the primary access point for the North Woodland Mansion for almost 6 years until the closure of the Woodland Hyperloop Line in 2022, and will do so again with the completion of the northbound extension of Line X3. It was also the first ever station to use /fill and /clone commands as a means to construct platforms.

## History

**Station introduction**

* The station was opened on Line 1 and F.T. Circular Line (formerly F.T. Branch Line) on 12th September 2015, as an additional station along the way. On 24th December 2015, the Horse Expressway interchange was built, as a part of an extension from FlashTeens Interchange to Grand Blocky Mall.

* On 21st January 2016, when the Grand Blocky Mall - Cheesedog Info Center part of the Horse Expressway was widened from 3-blocks wide to 9-blocks wide, Grand Blocky Mall was one of the first stations that its Horse Expressway station was 9-block wide. 3 days later Forest Farm was built next to Grand Blocky Mall.
* On 5th March 2016, Grand Blocky Mall got reconstructed to a larger interchange, and the Horse Expressway section between Grand Blocky Mall and FlashTeens I/C was widened from 3-blocks wide to 9-blocks wide.

* On 12th May 2016, the very first hyperloop was opened between Grand Blocky Mall and Ocean Aquarium, which distance between these two stations is about 300m.

* On 21st August 2016, a brand new line, Line 4 was opened from Flora Cape via Grand Blocky Mall and Sunflower Harbor to Zebra Coast, which since then the line got many extensions.

* On 16th April 2017, Line X1 (Formerly Line 1 Express) was extended to Railway Museum via Grand Blocky Mall. Thanks to that, the journey time via the Express line was faster than taking the local one. On 1st May 2017, the station got updates in its basement. The new features were:

**Major renovation programs**

* On the 21st of December 2017, the station got the biggest renovation ever for platform size enlargement. The following tasks were completed during the renovation:
	+ Moved Line X1 (Formerly Line 1 Express) platforms to 6F level as a single wide island platform
	+ The Line 1 (Formerly Line 1 Local) platforms remain, while the original 2 platforms were merged into one, which is wide as new the 6F Line X1 platform.
	+ Both platforms were extended to 53-blocks long, which are the longest platforms on the map.
	+ Platform gates on Line 1 (both platforms) and Line 4 platforms were added.
	+ On 16th February 2018, Line 1 (Formerly Line 1 Local) and Line X1 (Formerly Line 1 Express) platform gates were renovated.
	+ On 8th June 2018, the Line 1 Express was rebranded to Line X1, completely separating it from Line 1. On the same update, the Line X1 part between Sand Coast Village and Grand Blocky Mall maximum speed was increased from 45 km/h to 100 km/h.
* On May. 23, 2021, the station is being renovated again, which includes:
	+ FT Circular Line platforms being reconstructed to an island platform
	+ Line 4 platform gates is now command driven, while Line 1 and Line X1 platform gates use function files instead of a series of command blocks.
	+ A new platform is constructed above the Line X1 platforms, which has not being opened yet.
	+ All stairs leading into platforms is now replaced by elevators.
* Further additions to the station were completed on November 19th, 2022:
	+ The Bullet Cart Line X3 was opened, with services to Delta of Glacier (southbound) and Coral Resort (northbound) at launch, with extensions to Rocky Beach and North Woodland Mansion planned for the future.
	+ The addition of Line X3 led to the decision to close the Woodland Hyperloop entirely, with all services to North Woodland Mansion being moved to the Nether BulletCart Line until the completion of the northward extension for Line X3. The line had closed for multiplayer servers in April of 2021.
