Readers' rating:

I dont like this ride youre back and Sometimes you cant see nothing 2/10 - Giovanny Cruz

We waited in line for quite a long time thinking this would be super fun. Wrong! I tried to slow myself down when it got to the being in the clear tube part, but there was just no slowing down to see the dolphins. The tube's ribs bounce you the entire way down. Hopefully people are checking here before they stand in line for a real let down. - Annette Hatch

This was a really bad slide. Ridges and gaps in it hurt my back and the underwater bit was ridiculous! Didn't see any dolphins and this was their main attraction. 1/10 - D H

Stood in line for over an hour in hopes to see the dolphins in the "underwater" part. HA! It's probably 5 feet long at most and offers 5 seconds to swish your head around and try and see a dolphin. Would not recommend. Also didn't go very fast - Terri Pierce

fun but cant see the dolphin why is it called a plunge is not a vertacle drop why is it called a plunge - Manny Rodriguez

I gave Dolphin Plunge a 2/10. I wanted to go down the fastest as possible, so I laid back "luge style". It didn't go very fast, nor did anybody see any dolphins while in the "underwater" portion of the slide. After it was over... it was like... "really?" - Nick Dakuginow

I went on this ride on the grand opening day, and there was no wait at all. I think I rode it 5 times in a row just to see if I could get a good view of the dolphins. It didnt happen. I liked it but I wished that the uderwater part could have been longer - dylan k
