Tall then short tan supports?

In this picture: http://www.virtualmidway.com/popup/mysterypopup6001.asp?image=attraction428.jpg&title=Mystery%20Attraction, there is a long row of tan supports and they are all of the same height. But looking at the pullout/up of the tower you can cleary see supports being lower then that line. (They are in conjunction with the pullout/up.) Does anyone have an explanation for this?

The switch from Intamin box track to flat track...

Yes. That is most likely the point where the ride will switch from the box track that you see now to the flat track with the brake fins mounted on it. Since the box track is much taller than the flat track, the supports need to suddenly increase height for them to match up.

The short ones are the launch, and they are on an incline. The other row is for the brake run, they are on a decline, but it's more like MF's steepness, over XC's.

In that Picture, you can clearly see the decline on the brake run. Also, you can see where it goes from rectagle, to flat track. The supports suddenly get taller near the bottom of the tower. That is one long brake run at that...

All the evidence on the work site point to the L-TH-B theroy but those giant yellow supports point to their being another tower. There is no way that any of the new pieces in the parking lot are going on the current tower.

How many weekends are left to take up close and personal pics?

I think that the weird support piece has thrown a lot of people off just because of hwo big it is. The fact is that all the support pieces are that huge. The base supports alone are 4-5 feet wide. I assume that that piece will cap off the top of the support structure. It does look pretty finky with all the other protrusions it has.

Twistage has to be added into the L:TH:B thing. Like L:TH:T:B or L:T:TH:T:B...nah, it's too much work. :)

If the roller coaster scared you...

RIDE IT AGAIN!!!

Unfortunately from that picture it does look like this will be L-TH-B. Only thing I could hope for now is that maybe after it twists 90 degrees and goes over the top that it won't twist on the drop and will go on to Millennium Island, do stuff, then come back to the other side of the tower and make a smaller drop that does a 90 degree twist and into the brake run. But I doubt that will happen. I can only hope. This should still be an awesome ride. I can't wait to see that launch.
