There really isn't any way to stay completely dry even when wearing a poncho as the water gets everywhere especially around the bottom of the boat soaking your shoes BUT it's very good fun

David Lubin

You will get wet...let your family or friends hold your wallet and/or your phone...otherwise, you can put stuff in the center compartment of the raft .

Floriana Guardini

Get on this ride before all the other water rides ! This is were you get wet the most! And, most important, KEEP YOUR FEET UP and your shoes and socks will thank you

Anders Bärlund

This ride is not like other splash rides where you might get a bit wet if you sit in the right place. You are bound to be soaked.keep your feet up!

Alex Schrameyer

You will get wet! There are lockers and people dryers near the ride exit, but they charge and shouldn't be necessary. The barge has storage bays for riders; you should be able to fit bags and shoes

Noel Clarke

YOU WILL GET SOAKED !! and try to keep your feet high and money out of your pockets

James Feeney

Please make sure your poncho is on before you even boat the boat. Also shoes and shirts are required.

Kris Prokop

Awesome ride- plan on getting soaked. The "people dryers" are a waist of money so bring a change of clothing and store it in a locker.

Carl Griffin

Great fun but prepare to get wet.

Guy Almy

Great ride and you will get wet. No way to avoid it.

Cynthia Fowler

Wear a bathing suit for this ride or you will wear wet clothes all day!

The most soaked water ride you can imagine. No spot will be left dry. Even a poncho won't stop the water. Be prepared!

The wettest ride I've ever been on - great!

Santi Caamaño

Leave this one to the end of your day... get REALLY wet, and try to dry yourself on the Hulk coaster, front row!

Tejasvi Parupudi

Fun and completely soaked. Do all water rides in an order and change your dress - do them towards evening.

David D.

You won't just get wet; you will get completely drenched to the bone, the same as if you had been completely submerged underwater. Maybe that's your cup of tea , but I found it extremely unpleasant.

Mariah Maggioli

A good excuse to be soaked. Very good idea for hot and sunny days

Jason Konen

There are water hoses around the river you can shoot at the rafters.

Sandy Gustafson

You won't just get wet, you'll get soaked!! Save this for the end of the day unless you want to walk around all soggy.

Raphael Dias

You WILL get soaked

Lane Kutsor

You will get completely soaked every time!

Michael Mangum

Jonathan Collazo

You will get wet!!! Make sure that you dress accordingly... Swim trunks, water shoes , rash guard , etc.

Margot

There is a dryer for $5 at the exit of the attraction . Very interesting because you will get very wet...

Peter Rozman

You do not have a chance to stay dry!! Get a poncho BEFORE getting to the park for cheaper! 8$ in then park !

Denise Quirarte

Love this ride. Rode 15 times. Best to wear a swim suit and pack a towel.

jon accarrino

Lines are usually short for this ride because you will get wet!

Christopher Piazza

If you don't feel like getting wet, save this one for another day. Even with a poncho , you will get soaked!

Steve Denyer

BEST RIDE OUR FAMILY WENT ON ALL WEEK!!! Great for kids of all ages!

Senia

STAY SEATED FOR THE WHOLE RIDE! You're gonna get wet wherever you sit, so sit down, buckle up and get soaked!

Jessica Carlin

EXTREMELY WET! My husband told me you don't get wet at all until we were getting on the ride and saw the people getting off before us and how wet our seat where!

Steve Hill

Bring a change of clothes or a poncho unless you want to walk around in wet clothes for the next 4 hours.

Robert Forto

This ride cost me $584.10! I had to replace my iPhone. You will get soaked.

Hector Barocio

Take your shoes off, and put them in the basket, even if you lift them up they will get wet..

Alex Hidding

The sign "you'll get wet" is an understatement of the year! Soaked... But so much fun.

Deborah Palmer

WET WET sitting in water ...shoes full of water. WET WET...oh and did I mention, the barge rotates so you can end up going backwards. It does have one small river drop..a little scarey. I won't do

Eric Watts

You will get wet

Greg Hesp

It says "you may get wet." A more accurate phrase would be "you will get soaked"

Aline Sampaio

You’ll get really wet, and have fun!!

Jenny Brown

You will get soaked , but I love the ride !!!!!

Ponchos won’t help keep your feet dry on this one. Bring plastic grocery bags and rubber bands to cover your shoes .
