What to study

The water-ride builder mirrors the coaster builder: flumes are assembled from body-type pieces (Open Flume here) with live angle readouts (0.00 degrees, -22.50 degrees) floating on the segment being placed, so the player shapes the slide by numbers they can see in the world, not in a dialog. The No Water Filtration alert at the top shows the management layer watching the build: the game flags the missing utility before the ride opens. Frame at about 58.8s in the Preorder Trailer - En (Steam). The trailer's ALPHA IN-GAME FOOTAGE caption at the bottom center is publisher burn-in, not game UI.
