As one poster said, this ride has a great theme and staging. We're HUGE Disney fans, but, in our opinions, Disney dropped the ball with this ride. After ridding the Popeye Barge ride at Islands of Adventure, KRR really is a letdown. The ride doesn't last long at all and is nowhere worth the long wait time. It's really not up to the usuallt high Disney standards. Not a bad ride, but not as good as it should be. - Gil Long

After I heard about the accident on Kali River Rapids I wasn't to sure if I wanted to ride it or not. I always thought it was going to flip over. But it never did. It is a pretty fun ride but gets you soaked. If you like to get wet and you like to drop then you'll like Kali River Rapids! - Katie G-Desjardins

This ride is fun and and well planned-out. My only complaint is that it's so short. You may or may not get wet...it's just luck of the draw. On the plus side, there is a space in the middle that's water-protected for those items that shouldn't get wet. - Laura Daspit

Didnt get wet and the drop is weak - Dan Rosenberg

The drops are small yet the theming and the surrounding is fascinating. Would be wonderful if they add some animals throughout. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

A good white water ride for the entire family. I loved the drop at the end, despite the fact that I got soaked! - James Rao

I enjoy a good rapids ride. It was like someone in the raft would not get wet. It was interesting. A fun ride, never waited more than 10 minites. - Erik Cobbs

I was very disappointed. I am fanatic at about rapid's rides. I have seen better at SixFlags. While you can see the attention to detail and theming of disney the ride itself is not all that exciting. There is not much beating or banging, going through waterfalls etc. Getting wet is also hit or miss. Still can do it once and if the lines are okay maybe a second. I was expecting much more from Disney though and needs a good overhaul to compete with the best rapids of the country. - P V

Perhaps I'm raiting this higher because we only had a five minute wait, but I thought Kali River Rapids was a fun ride. We went through twice; the first time I was bone dry, the second I was thoroughly soaked. My only word of warning is don't go if a) it's chilly out or b) you don't want to walk around the park soaked to the bone. All in all, it was a blast. - Mickey Fan

While the ride itself could use some more excitement, the story line and the themeing here is great! There are deffinately elements in this attraction you dont expect. - Michael Newsom

GREAT WET FUN! - Chris Greene

Very much overrated and not worth a ride-thru except for first-timers. - Wilfredo Alvelo

The first time i rode it, i came out dry. The second time I was SOAKED !!! Not a bad ride, it could be improved. - jack roberts

You don't always get wet on this ride. It really depends on where you sit. Also, there was a really long wait in the morning. I didn't come back in the afternoon or dusk. - molly r

Seriously? Your supposed to get wet on river rapid rides... apparently, not at Animal Kingdom. - Nick Dakuginow
