These are the latest construction pics I could find:

I've been trying to find new construction updates for about a month now, and still havn't found anything more recent than that. The park is closed for the season, and only the turnaround (which I heard is complete now) is visible from outside the parking lot.

Is it just me is or is that going to be an insane double-up coming out of the tunnel, looks like it by the headroom/ tunnel exit at least.

I'm not sure, but it looks like the first drop lines up straight with the turnaround, so it will probably have the first drop into the tunnel with small airtime hills taken at 60mph+, then the wicked turnaround, and it'll dive back into the tunnel with more fast air hills, come out of the tunnel parallel to the lift into a hill, then have an insane twisted finale through the woods, and finish off with a tight, high banked helix at the end. I don't know if the the straight section after the helix will be the brakerun though, so the ride could be even longer than that.

Yep [:)]:

Thought so. That's gonna be wicked. And one of the tunnels actually turns 90 degress, so that might change the predicted layout of yours a bit, also it has been said that there are 2 different tunnels, so the twisted finale will likely feature another tunnel somewhere, not sure about that though. Then again, just checked them out and the pics might be all of just 1 tunnel, the pics are confusing though, oh well we'll see.

It looks like there are two lifts to me (not positive though). One with that curving drop, and one with a straight drop (http://photobucket.com/albums/v295/rave ... 34-15A.jpg). Maybe they took apart some track and changed it, I just can't figure this thing out.

Nope, just one lift almost for sure, and I think I have the layout figured out. It will be lift, first drop straight into tunnel, 90 degree turn left in tunnel, curved left double up exit out of tunnel into that awesome turnaround, airtime hill back into tunnel, 90 degree turn right in tunnel , airtime hill into quick right 270 degree turn, turnaround, airtime hills, turnaround, airtime hills, brakes. Ending is probably not extremely accurate, but that is about what the layout will be.
And so you guys get a good idea of how long the underground tunnel will be, check out this pic. Lokk in the background slightly right of center and you can see the first drop, it is pretty dang far away, looks like one heck of a tunnel if you ask me.

The tunnels are said to span the parking lot. So loonnngg tunnel + turn in tunnel = mad disorientation. Thats going to be ONE wicked ride. Very awesome to see Gravity Group (the best parts of CCI) coming out with a bang.

Not really because they are still running on wood rails, and that is where the noise comes from, maybe a little less noise after the train has passed though.

The layout sounds good and im not sure but i hope they will do the 2 rides for 1 deal like they do on all the other coasters. But i hope they will releases the layout soon so we have a real layout to look at.

I think the park uses the pay per ride system, sort of like a fair

Actually, because the park was just bought, and the name was changed to Mount Olympus, they now will use the POP, so I find it doubtful that they are continuing the 2 trips/1 ride....
