I’ve seen the course and ridden bits as they were building it last October. Mostly the XC and some of the DH, but backwards!
Pythons are very common in the area, enough poisonous snakes to keep you on your toes too.
The course has had lots of work since I was there, but the bottom sections are steeper in real life than they look and some of the doubles and gaps are huge. In the wet its very slippery.
