Thank you everyone for the comments. It's because of those that I've been doing this for 10 years now...and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. There's plenty more to come not only from me but the other great sites out there. I'm truly excited for the upcoming attraction.

Jason carter was there for a brief moment to get video of a support being removed from a truck..

That maneuver is pretty cool, and it pretty much sums up that this will be a purely steel speed out-n-back coaster with no inversions. I believe this figure 8 maneuver is what turns the train around and has it head back towards the station.

This coaster also better have a lap-bar restraint and not an OTS.

From the pictures we've seen, it's 100% OTS.

But chances are it will have inversions like zero g rolls and barrel rolls so Intamin usually requires OTS restraints for those type of rides

By comparing the videos and the leaked track layout picture, you can tell that the twisty maneuver is at the beginning of the ride. And there's still chance for a couple inversions in the parts of the layout we haven't seen on video.

This tower feature is such an amazing structure. Analyzing all the weight distribution gave me a headache last night! Haha.

Update from September 27th, 2010:

According to this, it looks like some of the area by Caravan Crossing is fenced off (go to Page 2). Could that be where the launch tower will go up?

Not yet. But ill be sure to post pictures of it once it does!

Yet another new update!

No new track or supports but there's a TON of footers going in front of the Clydesdale barn.

I think after looking at the latest update, the trench they are digging around the big tree will be the first launched turn right out of the station. From there it will make a 270 degree helix under the first launch into the second launch, up the figure 8 (which we saw in video 3).

Again thanks for taking the time and doing the work it requires to do an update, its very much appreciated.

Looking back, it seems that this Monday's special word of the day is "power" for everyone's quick reference. If I'm still awake in 45 minutes I know what I'll be doing.

 

[violarum]

WOAH WOAH.
BTFU.
I just saw like the first 3 seconds of the next video because of a glitch. All I can say is that the cheetah isn't always right side up!
