^From my understanding they asked him if he could not post it online until they say so. He agreed and has been privately modeling the construction.

Alright. It's done. Stop talking about rewards as it is not relevant to this project. Post in English as this is an English forum. If you are quoting from non English, translate it.
Thanks Ethan for steering it back on topic. I remember hearing when this was initially announced that was the case with Tobi that he had a mock up. Not sure if it's just one of those fairy tales or not.

Yeah, this is what I'd read too. From my understanding, he's still working on the models of it, but just hot publicly.

Tobi just posted this screenshot on Phantafriends. From what I could tell using Google to translate the page, this is what the inside of the building below the zero-g looks like?

^Yes you're right. He was making a point that the building is most likely just theming and won't house anything major like a restaurant for example.
Tobi has also given some more detail about the new towers and posted his models of them.
The 8 towers are approximately 20m tall. Four are on a rectangular base and the other 4 are in a straight line along the side of Wuze Town. And as Phantasiatisch pointed out previously two of the towers have supports/brackets for something - platform, bridge or maybe even for a zeppelin (a popular fan theory based on the concept art)
There are footers next to the foremost tower above so the coaster will interact with them.
Just like the towers on the other side of the site there are flanges for connecting beams between them as Tobi has demonstrated above.

So this ride could have a giant Led Zepplin right in the centre of it?
I'm all up for that!

Maybe a Zepplin, but a Led Zepplin wouldn’t make much sense.

Must be you, I can see them.CSLKennyNI, the pictures in your post don't show up .

I couldn't see them before either, but I can see them now.

Two mobile cranes for coaster installation are now onsite and more supports are being delivered. Also in that first picture the size of those supports!

Is it interessant? Video posted yesterday on World of parks channel:

I was there yesterday and some new strange supports arrived at the park

Today another one of those large towers along Wuze Town have been erected.

Found this picture on French forum CoastersWorld.fr which shows the new track that was put in last month:

Looopings placed some new pictures (i actually know who toke that pictures) it is a very clear view of the building area

So breaking it all down a bit from my understanding of the site based off the PhantaFriends.de reports and these pictures:
On the left hand side: Starting at the bottom we can see the underground station and transfer switch tracks have now been completely enclosed. The 3 large openings are where the transfer switch will lead into the 3 maintenance bays (yet to be built). On top of this then the roof forms the next level of the area which is the same height as the neighbouring Wuze Valley so there can be a step free access between the areas. You can also see here the new ramp so construction vehicles are now able to drive into the construction site. The new massive towers as predicted above presumably serve a dual purpose of being theming structures for Rookburgh and the flat plated backs of them are the start of the facade walls for sound proofing and visually separating the areas.
Middle: At the back of the site, along Maus, the underground level has been enclosed. Still not much visible vertical construction in the centre of the site which is curious. The foundations appear to be varying heights here as well which just makes it even more curiouser... (oh how I wish we had Tobi's model to make sense of things) There is this new black steel structure which is not coaster related and different to any previous theming structure and in front of it are two unfinished tall coaster supports - so most likely the coaster will interact with whatever the structure behind it will be.
On the right hand side: A lot of new supports and new track parts extending the layout pieces erected last year. The surface which this track is on is the same height as the Berlin street and this is the tunnel from the new gateway in Berlin will exit - so you will step out with the facades and buildings towering around you and the cluster of coaster track over head. Underneath are the underground tunnels housing the start of the launch (left tunnel) and the break run (right tunnel) - as seen these track parts are now mounted onto the ceiling (wrapped in green tarpaulin for protection). In front of the launch tunnel is this large almost V shaped support which I presume will support the weird curved/half loop/Immelmann launch. The new tall support behind seems to be where the coaster will most likely go after the launch which shape wise suggests to me an Immelmann of some kind??
This really is such a confusing site with how layered, complex and compact everything is. Makes Klugheim seem like child's play. Really intrigued to see how things progress.
