Fun raft ride. Very cool and unique themeing. - Will Chilcote

My 2 friends and I all got COMPLETELY SOAKED on this ride. Seriously, it was like we jumped into a pool. The actual layout, though, was pretty cool. - Robert Brimelow

7/10 This ride doesn't get you that wet, but is pretty thrilling. It is like the Magic Mountain version, but doesn't get you as wet and has a cool shipwreck theme. - Jack Borgeson

One of the wettest rides anywhere. Theres no way to avoid getting soaked on this ride as the waterfall near the end gets everybody on the raft. The rapids are wild and the visuals are interesting make this one of the better rides in this genre. It is also fun getting people wet at those machines where you pay a quarter to blast water at the rafts. A well done ride that creates long lines on those warm, sunny summer days. I have seen waits of up to 60 minutes on this ride during the day so my suggestion is visit first thing in the morning or if you don't cooler temperatures, get on this at night when lines are short. - Manny Barron

great ride really fun for families and you get totally soaked on this ride - mike brunson

Every time I go on this I get totally soaked. Well, it's kinda hard not to since you go under a waterfall at the end! This is a fun ride, but only if it's a hot day. It's definitly the best ride in the park. - Chloe !
