On the topic of the Rhine: the super shallow part right near Nessie’s final drop, near the staircase back up to Heatherdowns, looks like it has a concrete bottom. Anyone know what the purpose of that is and how far the concrete extends?
@Joe I believe it was a small bit of land removed to create more of the Rhine with retaining walls. The purpose perhaps being for a couple reasons: first, to give Nessie all level foundations for the loop structures, the other to make the loops over water bringing a more theatrical approach to the loops. The ride is themed to a lake monster after all.
I don't believe the concrete extends any further than the aggregate walkway under the ride.
