Port Aventura opens 'world's longest interactive boat ride'
Spain's Port Aventura has debuted what the park is calling "the world's longest interactive boat ride," Angkor: Adventure in the Lost Kingdom.

It's a Mack Rides "splash battle"-type boat ride, with theme design from PGAV Destinations, where visitors blast targets with individual water guns, while sometimes becoming targets themselves.

Located in the park's China land, but inspired by Cambodia's Angkor Wat, the ride offers multiple themed scenes along with its abundant opportunities to soak and be soaked. From a press release from the ride's creators:
The ride path guides them through a lush jungle, where they meet numerous creatures along the river’s shores. They then encounter a native village in the second act, inspired by river villages throughout Thailand, where they’re challenged to blast a variety of characters and targets with water. In the third and final act of the 300m adventure, the course doubles back in close proximity, and guests are flooded in an all-out water battle with the other boats.

The release says 300 meters.
These rides can be a lot of fun on hot, crowded days when a lot of folks are riding and the competition between boats is at its fiercest. But most of the time, without the interaction that comes with a busy day, they are really boring. So, I am not sure a longer version of the ride is necessarily a good thing....
Looks very similar to Buccaneer Battle at SFGA, except longer and better. I think it is the same manufacturer
Unless you're a kid these types of rides look like a giant miss. The one in legoland Fl doesn't look too great either.
