This is the easiest way to get wet next to rain! Not much "thrill" but wonderful presentation. - Christian Baggett

The wettest water ride ever dreamt into reality. Great setting, atmosphere,theme, and the water tempature is CHILLINGLY perfect on a hot day. 10/10 - Dan Huffman

This is the best ride of its type in the world. And definitely the wettest. - Mark Moore

A fun flume ride, and man did we ever get soaked! This one goes out of its way to get you wet, with water actually being poured into your boat at various points. I ended up throwing away my wet socks later on. - Sylvain Comeau

You will get soaked on this thing as well as getting blasted by kids with water guns. Its a severe ride in parts but great fun espically if it's a hot orlando day.! - michael wright

Best raft ride in the USA. No other attraction of this type even comes close. - Will Chilcote

Yes, you'll get soaked but the ride is boring! Might as well stand in your own shower with clothes on -- at least you'll know the water is clean! - First Timer

On a hot Florida sunny day ( aren't they almost always) this is the most intense, enjoyable White water raft ride outside of the Colorado River (and I've been there). - jim mclaughlin

like getting in a bath with all your clothes on if you like getting wet you'll love this ride, but its not all about the water its also a very great wild ride - Rob Chandler

Best, best, best, white water rapid ride ever created. Loved it. 10/10 - Nicholas Kalscheuer

I love this ride you get absolutely soaked. Theming is great its also quite a long ride. We laughed all the way round it no one escapes from getting wet. - Gill Barclay

This is an awful ride! Disney's Splash Mountain is so much better!! No thanks... - Mike Deitz

9/10 favorite water ride. - Nicholas Gammon

This by far my favorite white water ride. Its so much fun and be prepared to be soaked. The theming isn't bad, but the ride is the star. - Melissa Faulkner
