Readers' Opinions
I was a little disapointed but it was still an okay ride - Dan Rosenberg Cool theming and effects, but a little short. - David Kirby I enjoyed it! Not a long ride, but cool effects inside, and a nice drop at the end. Sitting in the middle or back did not get me too wet, just about right I would say. We did it on a cool day with a windbreaker, and it was fun enough to ride it again (with no line of course). - Leon Pfeiffer The course is just a standard shoot-the-chute flume ride, but the top-notch theming and special effects make it much more than any other similar ride. Expect to get very wet, especially in the front of the ride. - Adam Imbruglio I had high expectations for this ride and needless to say, they fell very short. The ride was just a basic tidal wave with some theming. Do not sit in the front row if you don't want your feet to get wet. Once you get to the top of the lift, the front of the boat does a nosedive which drenches your feet with water. I, for one, choose not to walk around with soggy shoes for the day. - Andy Marks |
