It's actually more of a 45 degree inward angle so the track has almost rotated to the left about half way through the full rotation. I do not expect a tophat like TTD or or Zaturn but more like this. . .
as the rise into the top had and fall out of it doesn't seem as vertical as the aforementioned.
Also,
I am digging the water front wall they are building. Looks real jurassic park-ish to me.

The photo I was referring to is a bit misleading since it's dead on.
This is a better angle although I would say it's closer to a 60 degrees.
Okay, 2020, it’s time for you to end already so we can get to this! Every day this construction gets more and more exciting.
Quick update from today:
Seems like there was a bit of a mistake here:

clever.... because I’m new here, I can’t have an opinion... ok.
that coaster sucks, similar you your reply. it’s what someone uses when they have nothing else to defend themselves.
seems like several people have the same opinion as me... so I guess you’ve been here a while, but still don’t know what you’re talking about.
The view across the lagoon is getting closer to being what we will finally see.
Edit: Remove the crane and flip the supports for the other side of the top hat and it's getting closer to a final preview.

No one is saying you can’t have an opinion, but all you said was “Mako is lame...” You got two people giving you a thumbs down and shiekra38 poking fun because you contributed nothing else with that comment, no insightful explanation as to why you think so, nothing. It was blunt, and arguably needless as such, and now - at least in my opinion - you’re being just as needlessly hostile over a joke worth shrugging off.
This isn’t the place to start something with shiekra38 (or anyone, for that matter), so I’d suggest letting it go and moving on and just being cognizant going forward about maybe fleshing out your opinions instead of taking it personally when you get ribbed over not doing so. Figured I’d give you that advice lest you get reprimanded for taking a thread off topic, especially when it’s one as exciting as this coaster and all of its developments.

I don't think the two top hat spike are gonna be identical in height. The one they are building looks considerably thinner as far as spaces between the three bases

What are your top coasters? What do you look for in a coaster?
What would you say the mistake is? Did a piece arrive bent incorrectly and isn’t joining up as it should? What might they do about it?
Looks like the support was manufactured a bit too short, so they put some blocks of wood between the track and support to hold it up temporarily. I'm not sure if the misaligned track is a result of result of the support error or if it's something else, but I assume they'll find some way to extend the support to bring it up a bit more.
I've never heard anyone say Mako sucks.
There is a thread for it if you'd like to cite the reasons why you don't like it.
Otherwise, you're simply dropping a claim with no supporting evidence.
I would love to hear your opinions on the topic.
Also, are you Epcyclopedia? Be honest with me.
Most top hats seem to have near identical supports but this is merely guess work on my end. I'd imagine that the supports for the first part of the top hat will take more forces and the difference in foundation location could be something to do with it.
Is this the switch track for the maintenance bay? It could maybe be that the switch system isn't there yet.
It's the track entering the station from the brake run. The switch track was installed a few days ago, and it seems like they're trying to get all of the indoor track installed so they can finish up the building.
I'm trying to figure out where you took this photo from. Popeyes with the green line being your line of sight?
If so, that's looking directly at the switch track. There's also wooden blocks to the right holding up another piece of track which would be a weird coincidence. There's also no spine on that piece of track which the one after it has. The smooth edge of the rail, is also common on switch track.
Looking at this, it looks like the switch track is there but the rails that move it back and forth haven''t been installed yet and this is from yesterday.
I could easily be wrong but there's plenty of evidence here to suggest why I thought that.

top 5 I’ve been on.
steel vengence
Maverick
Outlaw run
Montu
Blue fire
honorable mention
big bad wolf
x2
De Vliegende hollander
coatsers need to be more than a one trick pony like mako Is. It’s up down up down turn and repeat. It’s just air time, there is nothing more to it.
see above, don’t know who/what that is...
Here’s a pic I got a few days ago. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s up with the seemingly misaligned track, but the wood blocks make it look like something’s definitely not right.
