I'm fairly certain it's a rendering based upon what's currently there.

Annoyingly I'm going to be in Krakow next month. Long before this coaster or even the park opens. Dammit
Could you take a picture of that pull-out for us please? It's not been hugely well photographed to date...

So... The current pics of installed track show the single spine track. There was definitely some double spine in the pics I saw of the track in the car park. Where do we think those pieces will be installed? I'm surprised they aren't at the bottom of the drops already, which leads me to believe there's some high G sections where the double spine will be used, similar to Red Force having double spine on the entrance and exit of the tower.
Skyrush has double spine all the way around for reference (plus pics of Skyrush make me Ziz)

The hardest working (structurally) sections of track aren't necessarily the bits where the train is going the fastest - it's more about where the track is required to carry a lot of load - that's subtly different.
As we'll have seen in all the photos, the pull-outs of those drops have lots of supports, meaning that although the train is excerpting a lot of force on the track, the track is transferring most of that straight in to the supports. If you look at the supports on Skyrush they're spaced much further apart. Red Force is a little bit different, as it's much bigger and faster, but the same principles still apply.
So the double spine sections might be for use somewhere where the track has a long span (over a pathway, for example), or where they can't put as many supports in the ground for other reasons (maybe buried utilities or other attractions).

Who the **** uses a fisheye lens for a screenshot?
Also, nice to see some sort of progress.
