The photo of the steel structure in progress that seems to show a track support contained within it looks far too short and small to be a station platform, but might instead be some kind of small building element that the track interacts with? 

Does that style of track support seen there give any hints as to what type of track system will be mounted on it?

I believe if you ride Wildfire you can see a trail of footers going to and leaving the building. The station could be the lower part of the structure. I'll have to ride it again and take another look

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Swoosh? If by chance Swoosh sees this. Can you please just send me an email. npd652@yahoo.com   Thanks

True, I noticed this today on Wildfire. It is for the same reason Expedition Everest is three separate structures: Yeti, Ride, Building. I also noticed today there appears to be a ride vehicle pass thru with a mechanical pit directly under this support, much like what a station would have.
