Thanks for sharing! That is definitely a 180 degrees stall, not a 360 barrel roll.

No problem! We will have updates every week going forward. Glad you all can enjoy

I went on Sunday, had a blast and was really happy finally seeing the progress in person. I took a few pictures, but everyone else has posted the same ones. Can't wait to see how much progress is made in during the week.

My predictions for stats:
218 feet tall
87-degree drop
80 MPH
~5600 ft long
4 inversions
3 6-car trains (didn't Mean Streak run 7-car PTCs? We might see 7-car RMC trains)
STANDARD BULL**** CEDAR POINT RECORDS:
1) Tallest hybrid
2) Fastest hybrid
3) Longest hybrid (The Ultimate doesn't count because we're Cedar Point, so there)
4) Steepest hybrid
5) Most inversions on a hybrid
6) Most airtime on a hybrid
7) Most track at one park
8) Most rides at one park
9) Most coaster trains at one park (46, IIRC; 47 if they include the Disk-O)
10) World's First Outerbank Top Hat (or whatever)
I'm sure they can find more stuff to dredge up regarding records. Now, the real question is: will there be a big-ass zero-G stall over the bottom of the main drop? And will there be seatbelts?

Pretty certain to be a Yes on this, All 3 RMCs I've ridden have seat belts iirc, even the non inverting Lightning Rod.

I know Twisted Colossus does, as due to the supersonic speed at which it must be loaded to duel, riders are instructed to only do the seatbelt, hands off the lap bar. The attendants push those when they sprint front to back to check them.
Mean Streak was indeed 7-car PTCs. I wouldn't be surprised to see 7-car trains as this will likely bring MS back to the days of the notorious 4 hour line in the infield. It's gonna need all the throughput it can get.
You can see a fleeting glimpse of Mean Streak on the webcams (which unfortunately don't easily pop-out any more with the new website redesign). It doesn't appear like there's been much track advancement: https://www.cedarpoint.com/explore/live-video

I went there yesterday to march with the PJHS band, and when I rode the train back, I saw some ledgers almost parallel to the dip in between the Off-axis top hat and the first inversion. I'm pretty sure that the ledgers were coming from/leading to the MCBR.
Had the chance to quickly swing by the park yesterday as well. Focused my photos on where new track supports have gone in: we can now confirm the overbanked turn coming out of the lift hill turn around, and some off-axis turns coming out of the MCBR.
I was drinking when I wrote that, still, it's not as silly as saying they are going to stop construction all together.
