when the ROA is drained?
Doesn't the water overflow from Splash into the ROA?

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...
Splash Mountain has its own contained water system.
It doesn't connect to the River or the Dark Water system at all.
The little bit of splashed water from the final drop doesn't make an impact in the river, drained or full. -

Yeah, there's a bit of splash back, but it wouldn't do much damage to any cleaning/refurb/whatever going on.For those of you that are curious about my wedding:

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...

because ROA is a nice dark green color

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...
There was an article in the E-Ticket Magazine a few years ago that showed how the waterways in the Park were mostly connected. Some are unique to themselves, though. It was pretty interesting. Now if I could just remember where they are.....sigpic

When they drain Splash Mountain, it gets stored in a 1 million gallon storage tank backstage.Comment

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...
The dark water system includes Storybookland, the former Motorboat Cruise pond, the castle moat, Jungle Cruise, and RoA. When it reaches the end (not sure of the exact order), it is filtered and pumped back to the top. Splash Mountain, the Subs, and a few others have their own systems. Next time you go on Splash look for the low wall to your left after the drop.Comment

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...
No, I'm serious. You can check my Splash Mountain construction photos. They built what could be a tank under the main building. I believe Datameister knows the details of where the water is stored. Hopefully he can chime in on this soon.Originally posted by Duffy View PostComment

It is underground, not sure if it's under the attraction or not. But it is backstage. It's really big.Originally posted by Mojave View PostComment

Re: Where does the water from Splash Mountain go...
Alright, I did some fact checking; the tank doesn't hold 1 million gallons, that's WDW. The reservoir for DL holds 475,000 gallons. Smaller, but it's still there.Comment

It gets pumped back to the top and repeats the process.
FUN FACT: The water that splashes up is actually water that is put in tubes and is shot of with high pressure. If you watch, the splash is the same each time.Don't forget the rules on Micechat! We need to work together to make sure this is the happiest place in cyberspace!

A shot taken at dusk, so a bit "artistic", but from the top level of the Mark Twain....
As you can see, there is a clear barrier between Splash Mountain and the Rivers of America. (The water at the bottom of the photo.)Check out my Theme Park Photos at http://darkbeer.smugmug.comComment
