This will likely all be a slow section, pushed along by tires. Where they left off installing track, near top of the image, will be an encounter with the Flying Ford Anglia.

Also from Bio,



As a question to Alicia, will the supports be covered by theming by chance, or are they going with a Taron-like approach on supports?

Some will. Not all. Probably most will be exposed actually. Hence the neutral browns like Hippogriff.

Trees. Trees will help.

Oh okay, and is the track wider than usual or is it just the flatness that's making it look that way?

I'm ok with that, It's certainly not as bulky as dragons, and Hippogriff feels very natural in the spot it currently is....minus those pesky nets

Not very often, but This does happen, just happened last year, I dont even know if theres a solution. And hulk's launch is covered and that happens, these flat launches on this ride sitting exposed in summer rain could be worse, if they use tires of course.

I watched the Hulk fail in August. I definitely didn't expect it. It was pretty cool to see from right under it

Yup. Was just gonna say that. You can actually see the track switch area near the start of the ride.

But think about it, how does that switch track work? It needs to dispatch, stop, then go backwards into the shed?

Could this be a zierer or is it definitively an Intamin?

I guess so.

Since the first scene is slow moving tire propulsion, couldn’t it be driven forward, stop and wait for track switch, and then be driven backwards into maintenance by the tires?

That is where the maintenance building is going, behind the queue building. How the track switch’ll work I do not know.

Yes that's how it will work, and it should be relatively simple using some drive tires.

Maybe they trying to hide the facade of the train station from the coaster riders pov as it probably doesn't fit into the narrative of the story being told.

It might be some sort of power house for the launches or something?
