According to them, Vekoma does build the coasters. They are a full-service manufacturer, they're responsible for both the design and the construction. Parks may hire other companies for specific parts of the project, like landscaping or additional theming, but Vekoma claims they handle the actual construction and installation of the ride.

It fills a niche spot of the park that gets a lot less traffic with DA and Vortex being gone. I think it's a fun experience that gives you a more thrilling observation experience than the Eiffel Tower. Maybe a new area in Vortex' plot can flood more traffic its way.

I speculate that attendance is tracked hourly through the ticket booths, (incidentally including some employee stragglers going in and out). I also speculate that data is archived as far back as said metric was tracked.

This feels like a hoax NoLimits 2 rendering.

I think Vortex's former spot would make for a great new area that bridges Coney Mall and Rivertown. You can still fit an exciting coaster albeit with a smaller footprint than Vortex to also fit some more flat rides and shops.
