Great white water ride, and I dont think you should whine and cry if you were dumb enough to go on it in the middle of winter when its only 60 degrees out!!! It gets you realy wet and has some good bumps. I'll give it a 8/10... - Mateo sams

Roarin Rapids is a short raft ride that you get drenched on. its only good on a hot day in summer. when i with my friends it was 60 degrees! so when i got off the ride we could barely walk because we where so cold. 6/10 P.S. don't bring your cell phone in the line because the make you bring it on the ride - Timothy Berg

Decent Rapids. Boring to non-existent built-in scenery/theming. - Archibald Talbot

good ride i love going on it cause i laugh at other people saying i don't want to get wet then why did you com on 6/10 - Michael Brunson

its okay 6/10 but only in the dead of summer! you will be drenched from head to toe. its the best ride to cool off, a LOT! - Corey Nelson

This is the best rapids ride ever! I love it in the summer! It is fun to get drenched! - Sarah Meeks

5/10 I went on with my friend Ian. The setting is that you are on a raft (Lame). The ride doesn't really go fast or anything, it just drenches you from head to toe. You basically go in a big circuit and get splashed on the corners. - Jack Borgeson

Kind of boring until the second half which is really fun and the end is the best! - Sam C

This is the best one i have ever been on. I got off the ride so wet...... - Marcos Raxtun

If you want to get drenched, this is the ride for you. - Meghan Apple

I got so wet!!!!!!!! I was like dripping wet when I walked off the ride. I went on at night too (not a very smart move), so I was freezing for the rest of the time I was there. - Chloe !

This one is a must in the summer, and a really bad idea in the winter. I was there yesterday and it was 55 degrees outside and falling in the afternoon, and people were still getting on the ride, half of them soaked. i guess i wouldve braved it exiting the park, but for the girlfriend. It would be interesting to try not to get wet, when in the summer you beg to get splashed in that desert heat. - nik hunter
