False track length info?

On the CP website, it says that WT has 2,700 feet of track. Each of the towers go up 215 feet. That's 430, right. So is CP trying to tell us that there is 2,270 feet of track between the two towers? That hardly seems possible. 2,270 feet is quite a distance, and it doesn't seem like there is that much space between Aquatic Stadium and Disaster Transport. Am I missing something here or did CP get their figures wrong? I realize the towers don't go straight up, but that still doesn't seem right.

I think the 2700 is the total distance traveled over one ride cycle. The physical track length is something more like 700', but don't quote me on that.

the ride goes back and forth 5 times. Add those up to get 2,270

Ohhh I didn't even think of that. Well that almost seems like cheating to make the ride seem really big!

I would also add that the spacing and number of supports between the spikes looks about the same as a v2 Impulse, only the station area is longer.
