Water under or around station?

Has anyone seen this water around the station and does it somehow tie into the body of water around the twisted horseshoe section? And does it run under the ride line somehow? This and other pictures on Pointpixels show this body of water. And is there a body of water already there by the station?

CP got a lot of rain over the past week and I'm sure they haven't got the drainage system ready yet.

I think they did get a lot of rain lately, but I also think the station will be surrounded by water when its done.

Halltd is right, if you look at some of the animations there there is a body of water right under the Horshoe Roll.

The water in question was being pumped from that area this evening.

I hope that's just for the time being though. I would love them to fill that and the old area next to the queues with water again.

That's for the spashdown before the launch. You know, the one that slows you down. It's the "real" trim brake.

Ok Speedfreak, I looked harder at the animations and also the wallpaper image and Yes it looks as if there is going to be water around the station and just off of the frontier area in front of the station and possibly under the ride line.

There is also a natural spring right that fed what used to be the White Water pond, hence the mineral build up on the flume walls. I remember cleaning up the pond during clean up weeks at the point when I worked there. After they drained the water mostly out, and we were cleaning out the muck, I remember trying to clean out water that kept bubblin gup from onder a concrete slab.... Well, it turns out the water never stops bubbling from it. I've noticed in the construction photos there always seems to be a pump on site and a pond.

Quality, quality post. Wait a minute... he didn't even say that in this thread.


We'll miss you MrScott and Pete

That's the beauty of infinite space, things tend to get... Misplaced ;)
