It was 65 degrees tops when I rode and I got soaked, so this may be a biased review. It was an ok ride, and the moving table was interesting, but there was nothing to write home about. They did seem to have some theming after the tunnel. I also assume there was some sort of theming in the tunnel, but I couldn’t really tell. I did not enjoy the water falling off the roof the tunnel on a cold 65 degree day. It would be nice on a hot day, but not when I went (it’s also kind of lame that they need a waterfall to soak the riders- that’s what the rapids are for). 6/10 - Jake Jones

This ride only functions half the time... So ride it and hope for the best but don't say I didn't warn you. - Dakotta Hagar

The Fury of the Nile is a nicely themed white water attraction. Not quite on the level of a Kali River Rapids or Grizzly River Run, mind you, but a good ride nonetheless. It is especially fun in the dark, as the limited lighting makes for an eerie trip. I do wish, however, that the cheap water thrills (the buckets of water that are dumped on you in the final tunnel) were removed, and stronger rapids added. Riders should get wet (or not wet) due to the action of the raft in the rapids, not because someone turns on the shower at the end. - James Rao
