Mack's new track style at the first downward helix is really weird, but certainly saved them some supports.

 

There are parts of Manta at SWSD with the thick spine track like that.

is that spinner at Lewa World? struggling to tell which building it is in. The one next to the SLC cobra roll might be big enough but its not really a dome shape like above.

Yes, I don't know where it is either... Haven't really been much of a fan of this park given its history.

^ That's what I think as well. I really hope their disgusting action towards Vekoma will backfire and do Vekoma some justice. As of Mack, well they can't resist Alpina Blitz so this one might be as well. Just hope they can keep their technologies to themselves after a few years.

The turnaround on the far left:

If the loop ends up being as circular as the concept art for the layout makes it look, well, I feel sorry for anyone who rides this.

Pretty sure I trust Mack one of the best designers in the world to know what they are doing

 

That spinner still has me confused though. Can't find anything else on it or where it fits into the park at all. Nice looking layout though. Looks similar to Turbulence in style.

The loop is designed like that to provide hangtime at the top. Take a look at Full Throttle's loop, it's at least as circular as that one. And yeah, Mack has some of the best engineers in the industry, so I have faith it will be an amazing ride.

^I've never been a fan of hangtime and I feel that looks aren't "meant to" provide it. I like how B&M shapes their big loops so that you feel weightless/nearly weightless at the top. Having said that, I haven't tried one of these "hangtimish" loops, so I should wait until I do so have my final answer.

Interesting how they also went for that "different" track style for the turn. As mentioned already, probably to save supports.

I think hangtime is an overstatement when it comes to Mack loops. On Blue Fire, you feel weightless, as opposed to the mega hangtime you have on the final heartline roll.
