Really really happy to see them going all out in theming the individual MDC cars. I wonder how expensive this rides gonna be on a licensing perspective.
I am assuming a net is going under the track there so people dont throw stuff at people on the walkway?
Probably not if there's a locker system. Velocicoaster coaster doesn't have nets where it crosses over the pathway.
Via the permits found on ParkFans, I believe it was noted once guests enter the showbuilding proper it wouldn’t take long till you get to the double-sided lockers.
Additionally while I doubt it will be used for it, they will have the benefit of the half pipe sound walls that will be above the ride track.

As per ACN: The final piece of track that will be installed, will be the airtime hill that has been remaining to be installed post first launch!
I also think that’s going to be the last piece of track, bc in my personal opinion, I think there’s gonna be a boost on that airtime hill. There has to be right? I mean the coaster has to have enough speed to come down from the first launch, over the airtime hill, then curve up and over the MCBR, then up into the MCBR. I just don’t see how it’s gonna have enough speed to transverse the entire element around and leading up to the MCBR without some sort of boost.

Things are really moving along, and the use of the hillside is going to make for a thrilling ride. Just imagine what we could have had at BGW with a RMC instead of BBW version 2.0...
The terrain of this site really is a marvel all its own. What an incredible canvas for a coaster. That first photo really captures how many "levels" there are to this project.

GotDAMN that looks fantastic! I’ll be going to USH next month. Maybe I’ll see it testing?
This is truly one of the most hideous coaster cars I've ever laid eyes on. It's perfect.

So the funny thing is--I think they are intentionally having the wrap be the "Cover" to hide thematic elements. You can spot the wheels are MIA for the themed cars, as if they are not that much of a concern as they do the pull-through.
Similar to what Jurassic World: Velocicoaster did--but in the context of the Fast franchise, they are going to have the car be covered with the camo wrap because it is doing a "Public" test of sorts. Promotional, similar what they did with Velo with the blankets; but a bit more extravagent as a result of the type of vehicles.
It's amazing, stupid, and amazing in all the right ways.
