Computer room question

ucsigep

OK, this isn't meant to sound like a "<coaster x> is sinking, it was built to close to the water" rumor.  Are they going to put the computer room/system/whatever-you-want-to-call-it underneath the station as in the majority of the other coasters?  I ask this because what happens if there's a big storm, and the tide comes in that far.  Granted, that'd be one helluva storm, but with the ride literally on the beach, is this a concern that they are addressing, or am I just setting the ground work for some quality rumors of why CP will "sell the ride to Japan..." :)

Judging by the picture below, it looks the the control room(or at least some of it) will be above ground:

There is another picture that shows it dug out at least 6 feet...so it will be partially below ground.

It should be both like CPbound said, but it should also be waterproof so no water can get in. I believe that in 20-30 years that this ride may be under water.

O and moved, please! Maybe above Power Tower's lines with a spike going in the middle of the 4 towers! (yeah right!)

In order for that much of a tide the moon better be hauling a**. Believe me, Cedar Point wouldn't build a ride if there was even a shadow of doubt something like this would happen.

The one at six flags WoA really shakes at the top.
How do you think it is going to be when the ride is placed in sand??

It won't be any different at all. It's not like the thing is floating in water.
