| Meanwhile, another area of the project is also underway. The lower lake, which will eventually host a racing coaster train, has been drained almost completely to dry so that the construction workers can build the concrete foundations that will later be submerged. |
|
Five huge holes are dug in the bed of the lake. As you can see, each would easily fit a medium sized automobile. The reinforcement rods increase the strength of the concrete. |
|
| These larger foundations use a much larger gague of re-bar. If I remember correctly, they are at least an inch thick. As with the smaller footers, a cardboard form is placed around the re-bar so that it can also be filled with concrete. This is demonstrated below. |
