I'm sure they already thought about hurricanes long, long ago. Just like how Steel Vengeance/Mean Streak was built with tension cables to protect itself against high winds.SIAP, but is anyone else worried that hurricanes might affect this coaster? I'm not quite sure why they repealed the 200 feet law, but I have my suspicions...

EDIT:
I believe these new concrete footers are for tension cables, actually.
Well they are built now until summer so they are ready for the summer season which is when parks get their most attendance.They will definitely make sure they can survive a hurricane given the location in Florida.
Moat coaster seem to be built from now until summer, I wonder if avoiding hurricanes are part of the timeline.

Yeah that would be pretty bad :3True but I'm sure this is an added benefit. The last thing they want is a repeat of what happened to Zadra:

Few notes.
1. The coaster enters the stall rotating counter clockwise rather than clockwise as shown in the animation
2. The tallest of the supports is about 50% up so I'm guessing the lift will be complete by sometime this week.
3. The brake run was shown above the death roll valley in the animation but clearly you'll hit the brake much lower than they show.
4. Really hoping this means that there's been some amendments to the end of the ride. This coaster really should be hitting the brake run with a bang.
Oh no it has. You can faintly see it in front of the death roll, almost the same height.The tallest lift hill support hasn't started construction yet.
It do be lookin kinda clean doeDat natural wood color scheme doh
