What is that dirt section at SSR?

Taming the Strange. It's on Comedy Central's website (cc.com) uncensored.
I agree. Hydrodynamicaly challenged people should not be bullied about their water retention.
I dunno. I quite like the phrase "Hydrodynamically challenged". Speaking of Canadians and South Park, I always got a kick out of the fact that when speaking, Canadians always have the top of the head completely separate from the bottom. I'm assuming this is still the case. It has been years since I watched the show.

And if they are hydro conductive than they can't even play in the pools hence large dirt spaces located behind attractions with lots of water.

I see a future Facebook status.
It is still done that way.
As the lone voice of maturity in this mob of inanity , may I remind you of the recent request made by the ruler of this little interwebz universe -
Really, I just look for excuses to post images of Sam. "A salute to all nations, but mostly America" will always make me laugh.

I think we need to keep this on track. If Universal was building this retention pond they would do it better, faster and it would cost less.

Well that is factual but they aren't building a project like this so we cannot compare.

That pond only appears to have an 8" pipe feeding in to it. It's not feasible to totally empty the aquarium because it contains animals. Even if only 1/4 of it was drained in an emergency, the velocity of the water would be 150 ft/second and it would still take an hour for the draining to occur.

I certainly didn't measure the pipe while I was out there, and will never claim to be any sort of expert in fluid dynamics, can only tell you what they told us. Can't see at all while they'd misinform us, but certainly they, themselves may have been misinformed. Certainly its proximity to the pavilion makes sense for its use to be water containment, but I could be wrong.

Put another way, it was designed as an alternative to the doomsday scenario of a window failing within the pavilion, to either limit or mitigate an uncontrolled flooding of Seabase, the ride, Coral Reef or VIP suite.
More take the pressure off the cracking window and deal with the potential backlash of dead animals later.

Is it true that Jaws 3D scared the Disney engineers working on Living a Seas at the time to redesign the windows, strengthening and thickening the glass and support materials? Or that movie inspired them to be extra careful on the safety of the window while it was in the middle of the design process.

I guess they determined one pipe of that size was sufficient for the job. Unless there are others that have an outlet in the canal.
