Do all coaster supports have the “DOT” with arrow (direction of travel) or is this new? Only asking because I have never seen that before until this coaster.

I am really hoping when I am there come October, that I get to see the coaster track over my head when I go up/down the Starway.

Just wait until it goes over the starway!!
Not saying that I'm internally screaming over a piece of roller coaster track that won't open for another year+, but..... I'm totally internally fanboy screaming over this newly installed steel.
Absolutely surreal to see actual roller coaster track being placed under the starway. Can’t tell you how many years I’ve dreamed of this.
This is going to be a cool loop.
I've had a knacker of calling it a Jr. Dive Loop, like how Black Mamba at Phantasialand has the Jr. Immleman; but yeah that's going to be such a fantastic photo opportunity to see as you walk up/down the Starway.

Pictures are hard for people to see the scale...it bigger then I thought it would be

That scale is CRAZY in person. It’s surreal to see those steel supports tower over the escalator. This is going to be a top 10 coaster for sure.
I'm more curious to see the landscaping once the main construction is done. Grass, low-level bushes, short growing palms/ferns.
As for the Upper Lot section, it'll be interesting to see how the rides entrance/building takes shape. Also the new bathrooms we lost once AA was torn down.

Agreed. I’m a tiny bit concerned on the visual impact for Hoggsmeade, all be it only when walking back out of the village.
I’d add shipping containers in addition to the planting. Wouldn’t surprise if they re use the ones from the exit of supercharged.
Overall really impressed by the scale. Reminds me a bit of Tatsu in that it will be way up high supported by massively tall supports just because of the terrain.

I didn’t know if the rumors were true… the coaster weaving over and under the starway is a permanent game changer for the kinetic energy flow in USH
