The burning bridge is the first thrill for Fire in the Hole riders.

 The current collapsing bridge you can see form the side as you approach it but with wall framing up on both sides of the track I don't think you'll be seeing much of the bridge until it is right ahead of you.

What's interesting is there is a structure built on either side of the track that has a pivot point that will allow it to look like the structure of the bridge that will is collapsing around you.

Here is a closer view of that structure.  It'll tip down toward the camera as the train passes under it adding to the collapsing bridge effect.
