Unless the ride is gonna be 150+ tall or include a lot of G-forces to support such a large footer, Mack usually runs clusters of smaller footers under their track supports but I do agree and I have said from the beginning that I think the rumor of this coaster being a replacement for ThuNderaTion is a red herring tactic. Its like the "Wild Mountain" and "Lost Caverns" ride rumors used for their past projects. https://mack-rides.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hypercoaster_gallery_1.jpg

The clearing so far also indicates a possible "out-n-back" type layout depending on whether they plan to wrap it around Outlaw and along the new maintenance road as well. Again I may be a bit bias hoping for a local wing or hyper coaster, but either way we will know soon. August is right around the corner.
Did the park say that's when they are revealing the ride, or is that when they traditionally do it?

Duelist

^ August has been the reveal month for rides for a long time now.  Right before Season Passes go on sale in October  :)
