I now think that the descending supports going into the many short supports will be a storage track underneath the station. What do ya'll think?

Nope, because the low, middle track comes into that section from a highly banked curve. Obviously for high speeds.

I think that section will have an upper and a lower track, the two sets of supports parrallel to each other will be capped with a support that spans the gap, and has a track on top of it.

This can also finally lay to rest the Wing Walker rumor, there is not enough clearance for a Wing Walker train.

^ I guess you might be right about the two sets of parrallel supports, but can we rule out a dueling launched coaster? (which would be the first of its kind).

Yes, but the picture I was pointing out had the flanged side (the side that always attaches to track and not another support) and how it is pointing downwords.

Not always true:

see area around top center of pic

The flanges with "spines" on the back of them are used in high stress areas. Hence why they're used when connecting two long straight pieces of support or in a highly banked turn. There's a reason why they use specific pieces everywhere on the ride. At this point in construction it's very difficult to judge where track will connect and where more supports are going to extend higher.

Once track starts to get mounted it may be a little easier to see the big picture and "put two and two together".

This ride is looking more exciting with every update. In the August 2 and August 3 updates, you can already see a few places where the track will go over/under itself.
