Looks great to me.
If they're letting the foliage grow back, coupled with some theming, then this could be something special for Asterix.

I do hope there's going to be some rockwork and foliage in that outer section and not just have it take place over a patch of grass. I still think Kondaa's grassy field is pretty barren and could use a lot more trees and bushes. OzIris has some bushes and light rockwork scattered around the queue, but only just around the queue, so I'm not expecting too much.

At this rate, this will be open before Pantheon.
Wait, nevermind.
Seriously, this project is progressing really nicely. How much track is left to be placed besides the spike and top hat? Between this and Parque Warner's project, 2023 is shaping up to be a great year for European parks.

Makes up for a really underwhelming 2022, I guess. Freaking Choco Chip Creek is the third biggest coaster to open in Europe this year.

Are we actually counting the hand-me-down at Flamingo? xD
If we don't, the picture gets even bleaker, so ...
let´s not forget the new area incl. coaster for Europapark which is also scheduled for 2023 opening.

Mmm top hat:-
Eww trims:-
Mmm stall:-
From what I've heard, the trims are essential on the top hat due to how tight the turn directly after it had to be with the access road. Funny how they marketed it as a feature though.

Yeah I don't know about that one. It could have just been as simple as, the cliffhanger drop was a feature the park requested. Based on plans of the ride found through the park's environmental analysis proposal, the proximity to the service road doesn't seem to be a design constraint:
Without the trims, it would have to have a shallower drop and therefore would end up with more speed after the drop. It would take up more space due to that, but it's still more than enough room between the drop & the service road.

All the elements look so compact, and then you look at Pantheon and wow it makes it look drawn out when you compare... Excited!
