Holy cow, I was not expecting that! I thought it would just be a regular airtime hill, not an outerbanked turn!

There's still more track on the ground, so the stall is probably going to be completed today.

I notice they saved that for last. These are not being installed without some thought to the drama of the unveiling

They’re being installed with no thought about the drama of unveiling. It’s literally going north to south.

I mainly wanted to show how the coaster frames the Discovery Center And the general skyline. But The Outer Bank was a pleasant surprise.

A lot of the RMC hybrids have this element and it feels like you're getting flung from the coaster as it turns the opposite way. It is so good!

This one on Lightning Rod is a good example at about 45 seconds into this video.

I know RMC has a couple outer banked turns, but idk if any are exactly like this. I do remember experiencing something similar on Wicked Cyclone at SFNE. Near the end, there are some bunny hills and one banked out, but turned in similar to this, and it was one of the most thrilling elements of the ride. A real head fake moment and crazy ejector airtime that came out of nowhere. Definitely got a yelp out of me the first time around :lol:

The track is blending into the trees well and I'm hoping that more foliage is added.

I think @Alicia mentioned that a water feature will be added in front of the DC when the track levels out after the top hat.

The coaster is going to perfectly frame the DC once it's finished.

Everything to the right of the DC (looking at hit head-on) looks much less obtrusive than I was fearing.

Like you, I hope more of the lost foliage is able to come back, but there's only going to be so much room to work with while avoiding track.

Here is a very bad mock up using @Disneyhead 's photo. The track is wrong for the top hat, some coaster goes no where but I've removed some of the construction equipment and added some more trees.
