    Nice find. Reminds me of the cisterns of Istanbul.

    Saw this article this morning. Very strange, but in a cool way. Where is the exact location of the entrance?

    Kind of reminds me of (surprise...) Ghostbusters II.

    So hypothetically if me and some friends went down there and hypothetically were able to open up the hatch thing, would we get arrested?

    We had a volunteer cleanup project with Boost Mobile Rock Corp at the reservoir a few years back... glad to see it going far!

    This is what I want to know. Are we talking felony or what? I guess it depends on how bad I mess up the entrance to gain access.

    http://portal.smartgeometrics.com/cistern/

    So Smart Geometrics was awesome enough to do a 3D scan of this place and upload the images for anyone to explore. Along with the Buffalo Bayou Partnership, they are looking for ideas as to what can be done with this unique space.

    For those with more experience, they even uploaded the data so you can play with it in autocad, sketchup, etc.

    For everyone else, check it out! Really cool stuff

    The video is a little nauseating because the camera moves super fast at times.

    Skip to about 4:00 for the cistern
