Its possible. that outer-bank is the only area thats still bare bones, so its possible we get a steel frame surrounding the outer-bank, and then the mesh goes up on the steel structure.
Guest: About that coaster...
Team member: You mean the Osprey sanctuary.
Guest: But I see...
Team member: an Osprey, cool hey.
Guest: Isn't it a bit elaborate for an Osprey sanctuary?
Team member: You should see our ant hill sanctuary down the road.
Guest: That's Epic Universe, right?
Team member: It's Epic for sure, have a nice day.

Top snake: possible pad for electrical/pump house?? Surrounded by trees. Possibly.
one imagines a roof or netting for walking beneath the track like that...
Guessing that opening date might have as much to do with the covid situation next spring as anything else.
I’m feeling a little more optimistic about the COVID situation every day. Hopefully the worst is over and things will start to return to the new normal.
This is going to be one hell of a way to reintroduce the fans to the parks.

That was the original goal but could be delayed due to equipment or international staff
Ok coaster guys. What is the name for the first element after the first launch? It's not a true Immelmann. It's leaning and instead of cresting upside down, it is sideways. It's a "Leaning ImmelWave". Although I'm sure that not what it's called.
And have we discussed that the climb up the top hat goes past vertical? Have they done that before?
And I heard some dubious rumors about the queue. I don't want to throw it out yet, but @Alicia, anything interesting about the queue besides the Dr. Henry Wu preshow in the lab?

Views of adjacent raptor stables with at least one raptor AA in a muzzle.
I’ve long argued that the land needed more life / Dinosaurs so this is very welcome news.
In my coaster dictionary, I'm calling a "Reverse Stengel Dive" or "Twisted Stengel Dive". It definitely doesn't invert, just based on seeing it in comparison to an element that Intamin is working on with another project that they're dubbing a "Non-Inverting Cobra Roll". Their new cobra roll looks like it has about the same maximum banking as the Velocicoaster element, and if that's not an inversion neither is Velocicoaster's.
The only thing my mind can see is some sort of variation of the Stengel dive in which you enter from a climbing turn. And if we must fit it into existing coaster lexicon, Junior Immelmann will suffice. It definitely ain't an inversion though.

If it moves its nest to the Epcot fountain and craps on it this will officially be my favorite year
