I don’t have a photo or anything but I was listening to the press conference at IAAPA and they have said all track is in place for both coasters

The coaster itself (without the theming and landscaping) looks good:

Those are great pics icedmosquito!
Here are few photos I took of the new Emerald Park rollercoasters under construction from a park visit yesterday. The track is not too far off completion I think. Plus a couple of the awesome Cú Chulainn as well.

When I went yesterday I noticed they were doing ground preparations for the land inbetween wind star and the new land does anyone have any theories what it could be for?

in that circled area all land is flattened With a digger moving some dirt aswell

At the park today for a check in on tir na nòg main progress seems to be on the station for the boomerang. Also some weird tarp over the tower

Hate to be "that guy" but looks like Air Race is still there, but Windstarz is gone instead. Not sure whether it's being rebuilt at a factory during off season to return soon, or if it really has left the park!

apologies just got the two mixed up but the foundations are still there so who knows

How many inversions does this actually have?
RCDB says 5 but I suspect this is a bit like how the park claimed Cú Chulainn had an inversion due to the overbank.
Looks like the finale doesn't have all the low to the ground corkscrews like on Hals Uber Kopf

I think 2 maybe three if you count the first overbank
