^^"U Smell Smoke" is the name of someone who posts here and probably elsewhere on the internet, and yes, it is the biggest drop in the park, assuming it is in fact 160ft. It certainly looks like it is, but the official stats haven't been released yet.

Can't wait for the next round of photos. Hope someone is visiting this weekend. The drop is surely tracked completely at this point, the turn is probably rising, and work has been done on the station.

Is this thing going to have a station fly through? The new pics on the trip review page  show there are footers all over the place by the queue that isn't part of the current lifthill.

I see footers on both sides of the drop to the lift hill out of the station. I can only think of a flythrough or that the queue is going to be under the ride a bit.

I think those might be for a walkway (not the queue though) or for some type of thematic element to interact between the coaster and the train. I don't see a fly-through fitting with that station set-up.

You got a better angle of the drop than I did. Still doesn't quite do it justice though, does it? Good to see all the track on it.

So the curve is rising... That thing is going to be a doozy, let me tell you. I expect it to look like this:

The footers are probably for the exit ramp

Isn't that side of the station the maintenance bay? wouldn't those footers have something to do with that?

My mouth dropped when I saw this! If they want my ideas for the new ride: it better have this!!

It's not as extreme as it looks.  Whereas GG forces their 90° turns into the ride, RMC uses their overbankings in more natural ways.  FTR, that turn shown isn't much more banked than the turn on Powder Keg
