I was amazed how high the water was thrown up behind the vehicle!  It was common to see a 40 or 50-foot rooster tail behind the train.  Because some of the water will end up splashing on the park's guests, Busch Gardens has to treat the water in this pond as if this were a public swimming pool.  This requirement ensures that the water falling on people will be clean.

The coaster's track sits in this concrete trough.  The two scoops on the rearmost car are mounted far enough apart to straddle the trough and pass through the water.
