Quick theory on what this could be: An Intamin Vertical LSM coaster or something with a vertical lift.
I think there isn't enough obvious straight track for a lift or a traditional LSM launch, but I think they seem to be willing to gamble on prototype/new attraction concepts, and this seems like its a definite possibility IMO.
I don't see any large groupings of footers for a lift structure.

The vertical lift structure that the model uses a lattice support structure with 4 evenly spaced footers, so it’s entirely possible.

My main gripe with the layout is how little space there is for the ride to pick up speed before going into what’s assumably a high speed turn due to the size of the footers.

While it doesn’t have to be an Intamin LSM, I think a vertical lift is the most likely scenario.

2500' without accounting for elevation still leaves plenty of room for this to be a major coaster. I get that it would be preferable for the plans to reveal clearly what this project is/isn't but it feels too early to doomsay, imo.

I definitely got some of it wrong but this at least gives a general idea of the possible layout.
If this lay out is anything like what we end up getting, I think we need to prepare selfs for a less intense, lower height, family coaster, ya know like a family inverted coaster, like sea’s just ordered for Tampa. I don’t have access to my construction software but with out pulling actual measurements. I don’t see enough footers in long straightaways to suggest traditional lift hills so we may very well be looking at another launch coaster.
 
I think it's worth noting that the buried/old Drachen Fire foundations are in this plan as well (circles and spread footers (rectangles)). Not to be confused with the new foundations in the same picture with same line weight.
To build on this, here is a page of the site plans with the new footers in a heavier line weight.

You're welcome for that tweet. And also I'm sorry 🤣
