I'm trying to figure out why everyone keeps saying these are Mack footers.  I've done a pretty good amount of google and youtube research since these footers started showing up.  They look more like a modern vekoma or B&M footer to me

It seems likely it is as these very closely resemble their construction methods. (4/6/8 studs evenly spaced) But if its somehow not from Mack I'd love to hear more ideas on what a "First in North America" coaster could be. Employees remain tight lipped on the ride type and manufacturer but keep saying it's gonna be "something big" and be a first in the USA/North America. These footers are bigger than anything found on both Wildfire and Time Traveler. And they continue to build more of them.

The weird thing is even though a lot are saying its NOT a Hyper, the closest I have found that looks similar to this is the construction of DC Rivals. The footer columns/bolt pattern, and the footer layout look almost identical. https://www.coastercrazy.com/forums/movie-park-australia-mack-coaster-t36605-25.html

OK, so those DC Rivals footers do look very close to what we're seeing.  Alot of the other Mack ones I've seen don't look any closer than alot of the Vekoma's and B&M's.

Whats interesting too is at 0:53 in this drone footage the layout looks just like the footer pattern currently seen next to Wildfire from this perspective. https://youtu.be/27u69VGRGZ0?si=DqpS-rlrT4rubAL_&t=52

Honestly, a vekoma  launched makes a lot of sense. Big bear did really well at Dollywood and could easily take on the mining theme. My only concern with another launched is the threat it poses to powdered. I can't lose another classic sdc attraction
