This is the first turn as it flies over the hydraulics building (far right), and also the third twist that comes very close to the first one.

From the back of the construction site, we can see the now completed ride circuit The building towards the left of the photo is the Corkscrew on-ride photo shop.

Here's a wider view of the above.

This is where the track "wraps around" Corkscrew's photo shop, and heads into another airtime hill (to the right of the photo).

Another shot of the first and third banked turns, this time from a more distant perspective.

Rita's final turn, with one of the trains sat in the brake run.
