Photo update as of today, May 26, 2019.
Looks like the new bit of roofing they added to Energy is being sealed up.

Energy’s old exits appear to be getting sealed up, but the middle one has a new, smaller door frame. Likely an emergency exit like @DreamfinderGuy said.

Scaffolding is up on the side of the front of the building. You can see the new door frames through it all, and there is some yellow something that’s been added to the corner of the building, but it’s kind of hard to see in this photo.

Steel framing and other materials are still sitting out front of the pavilion, but there seems to be less.

The Site That Shall Not Be Named is now claiming that we will start the coaster off with a backwards launch...I wonder if this coaster will have a lot of BREAKING sections...;)

Remember, Martin did say he didn't show off the whole layout because it has a "cool trick" at the beginning. A reverse and then forward launch is completely possible.
Have a switch/transfer table, short launch backward, then full throttle forward. Kind of like this...


same-ish idea.

*brain fart, vehicles rotate. derp.*

That seems really cool! I think a backward launch would also be an amazing way to simulate being launched out of a Ravager ship's airlock, can't wait to learn more about this ride.

The vehicles rotate. There is no need for switch tracks to do a backwards launch.

SeaWorld’s 2020 coaster is expected to do a forward-backward-forward launch at the beginning of its circuit.

Coming from someone who isn't thrilled about Guardians in Epcot (but as someone who enjoys Guardians and the MCU):.

Is Indiana Jones Adventure dated because Harrison Ford is now 76? Would a Star Wars attraction that contained Luke and Leia from the original trilogy be dated today?

Harrison Ford isn't really Indy in the ride. It's not the same.

And yes.

IMO, of course ;) lol

YES! For once I hope Clickbait is right.
