Yeah, just L shaped Behemoth with an extra hill or two.

Not a bad thing, as Behemoth is my favorite B&M megacoaster. :D It's truly an amazing ride without trims.

Could this thing still have a splashdown if it were to crossover the station on the way back and then drop and splashdown perpendicular to the station? Or, maybe go under the brake-run and splashdown, splashing the riders above? Does this post make me look stupid? :|

Just based off the footer holes, I would say no. There could potentially be one before the brake run, but that wouldn't make much sense as it wouldn't really be visible from inside the park, which defeats the purpose.

The problem is that I believe the train shed is clearly being prepared right now and it's next to the station by the service road. So you'd have to get back there somehow.

I contend that the area to the right of the station is just public area, like the entrance to Behemoth, wide open area.

This brings up another question of mine: What is to become of that huge area right of the station next to the guest path? There are footer holes there too.

Heh, be patient while I am making one too... :-P

about 180 degrees turn... By looking at footers, it wont be exactly 180 degrees turn.. more like 160-170 degrees turn...

Weren't there also a bunch of "pink flowers" pointed out in the grass behind Season Pass processing and in other places too in the updates with footer markings on them (C118L)?

Now we have Dirt Porn, Rebar Porn, and now Mud Porn :lol:

Anyway, I really do hope we get a gem here too. I really think we will get a splashdown. I think this ride will be a weird mix between Behemoth and Diamondback.

Man that mud tore that place apart, geez.

Well I am glad we have at least a good guess as to where the lift hill and station will be.

There are two more rebar footers just to left of your green circle too that are outside of the pic.

Yes, I saw some pink markers in the trees over near the first picnic pavilion. And there are markers all the way back to the back in the grass.

So, they're out farther than depicted in the drawings?

If I remember correctly, not left of the white tents, but right. However, pink flowers extended all the way to the parking lot.

I need a camera to take pics. :(
