Info about the ride:

Queue:

- there will be a single-rider-queue and a fastlane-queue, in addition to a regular queue line
- there will be 2 preshows... but they're both part of the regular moving queue, you won't be locked in a room
- the first preshow uses projection mapping, and will make the room crumble
- the second room contains animatronics, showing you the "beating heart" of the ride

Boats:

- a boat weighs 7 tons, 9 tons fully loaded
- the enormous wheels of the boats weigh 200 kg each (440 pounds) and have a diameter of 90 cm (35 inch)
- these wheels are the largest ever used on a roller coaster
- minimum height to ride is 1m20 (47 inch)

Splash:

- it takes just 6 seconds to raise the water level for the final splash, by opening gates
- it takes 50 seconds to pump the water out of the basin
- the water level can be adjusted depending on the weather
- there will be a "splash zone" for those not riding

This will be quite interesting. Good it will get a single rider queue. With the way seats are located it creates plenty of empty seats.

Is it themed to an EMP or something?

Cool (and no doubt essential) that the water splash is customizable!

Wait they're using a turntable for loading and unloading the second boat?

Yes. One boat loads while the other completes the course, then the table turns and the other boat runs.

That looks quite nice. I like the restraints as well. :)

Damn they can really fill that pool up rather quickly. Can't wait to see full speed testing.

It looks quite slow so far. I do hope they are going to amp it up a little more.
