That piece of track sitting in the mud is adjacent to the series of tan supports directly in front of the yellow tower. It is on the side closest to the lagoon. So essentially, that is the end of the ride right there. If you're not convinced that this ride will only consist of one main element, well, you must be looking for footers that don't exist!

I saw earlier where someone mentioned that the downward pull out doesn't meet up with the brake run, can someone whose been to the work site either confirm or deny this?
Yes,going up over 300 feet will be cool and the straight down twist will be neat,but a circuit would have been great. If you look at the overheads on virtual midway,there just doesn't seem to be room for a full circuit around there,even if they did use Millie Isle.

Lets all think about this for a second. One is launched at 110-120 miles an hour or so. Then crests a 400 foot tophat. Then the train must come back down that 400 feet. From my basic understanding the train will be traveling pretty fast.
A 120 mile and hour launch in 3 seconds is pretty fast. If this is going to be a Launch, Top Hat, Brake coaster. Would the brake have to be somewhat as fast with no extra track or elements to slow the train.
If so, *OUCH*

You can clearly see the station footers in the bottiom of the picture. if you follow that, then you see the launch to the tower. After the tower, you can see the brake run. [you can see were the track changes from rectangle track on the tower, to flat track on the brake run. The flat track need longer supports than the rectangle, due to the lack of body under the rails]
If you think this coaster isn't at L TH B, you thoughts are corrupted by wishful thinking.

MFJedi,
How would this not be full circuit?

I think my definition of full circuit is a little more than most. I tend to think,in my mind,full circuit is something that is more than up and back, something with length like MF or Magnum. Sorry for the confusion.Yes,2003 is full circuit as it leaves the loading side and comes back either to an unloading side or the original point while going a full,connected, continuous length of track.
This thing is NOT going to come back to the station at 120mph or whatever the launch speed is. Physics won't permit it. The 100-120 will be used up to get it up to the top of the tophat, it will have some of the speed left,but unless it is propelled downward too,I don't see how it could come back at more than 80mph or so.
