Okay, based soley on the artwork, is anyone else confused as to how they'd pull off the splashdown without soaking the entire train from the second row on? I'm no physics major, but that just seems impossible from that angle. Sort of like how Sheikra's cones can obviously only be on the rear of the train.

Maybe I'm seeing this wrong, but it just seems abnormal for the splash to be spraying away from the riders like that. And maybe I'm just bored with nothing better to think about right now. :lolr:

My guess is that it is just a sharp turn around the water and water cannons shoot up simultaneously giving the illusion of actually splashing through the water. My guess is it will be like SheiKra and get the passerbys soaked and the riders dry. I'm pretty sure it is not actually going through the water.

Maybe the splash would be initiated by some kind of water cannon or something similar to the Bellagio water show in Vegas. I cant see the train itself starting the splash without drowning the people in the back rows.
