Readers' Opinions
I was a little peeved at getting wet off of the smallest drop on the ride. You go down, and a spurt of water comes up and drenches all the riders. I sat in the front seat, so I got soaked. The roller coaster part was fun though. - Tommy Rowbal Don't understand the 9 rating; the ride is good but not outstanding. One good drop and a lot of mediocre theming. - Mark Moore great theming,incredible drops - tyler bell great theming,incredible drops - tyler bell Good ride. Not the best Water ride I been on, but still good. You will get soaked,..... on the small drop. Wait time on a busy day can be nearly 50 mins. - Vincent S This is my favourite ride. I love the theme/stlye of it, and the queues aren't that long at certain times of the day. It has changed, because I can remember the mermaid changing into that evil monster/medusa type thing, but know that video isn't played anymore. But, anyway, the drop is very good, at first you feel like you are going to fall out, but then you don't, and by the time you realize that your at the bottom and...you aren't that wet. It isn't the big drop that gets you soaked, its the little drop round the corner, near the lifeguard (why are they there?). If you are at the front you will get your trousers and shoes soaked. Also if you are at the back, when the boat is lifted up for the big drop , lift your feet from the floor because all the water comes and floods. I sat at the front and the back, and learnt that the hard way. The rollercoaster at the back is really great. Overall, Journey to Atlantis is very pretty and fun to ride. Definatly go on it. - Lorna Britten My favourite water ride, by far! The story line behind the ride may be pretty rough, especially when you compare it to Disney and Universal, but take nothing away from the ride itself! It keeps you entertained while floating through the lost city, and then gets you screaming soon after! The coaster element is incredible too! 9/10! oh, just a warning...you WILL get soaked wherever you sit on this ride! - Michael Hayford Three rides in one. The story line is a little weak and not up to par with many Disney rides but the dark ride/water ride/coaster trio is a thrill a minute. - Mike Burnette The ride was getting flooded in the back our feet got really wet had to give it a 6/10 - Nicholas Kalscheuer I absolutely love this ride. The theming is strong and the drop is a killer. Then when you think it's all over...........it isn't. I always like to take myself off to the water cannon to pay back one or two that may have soaked me at the end of my drop. Unless you're prepared to ride Atlantis wearing a watertight plastic bag then you WILL GET SOAKED. - Rob P
