    I still remember the first time we went on this ride, such a shock we got soaked; we were in normal street cloths. We also got a good soaking all the other times we have been on the ride. A 10 for us every time![msnsmile2]

    We have done this ride many times now and we have never ever seen anybody come off this ride dry other than the people wearing Ponchos. Even then they have wet hair/shoes. When you have done the ride you will see how hard it is to stay dry.
    We normally take swim costumes and do this ride first thing. We come off and get changed into dry clothes. The shop near to the ride must make a fortune on new t shirts and towels.
    Watch out for the people firing water cannons at you and enjoy

    We were lucky as it was December the water cannons were turned off. We had been warned about them but even if they had been on it would not have mattered as we were soaked by then anyway.

    'Fraid it only gets a 9 from us.
    The 10's reserved for Ripsaw Falls ....
    Pretty sure swimming would be dryer !!

    Likewise - went on Popeye & Bluto first, then thinking we couldn't get any wetter decided to go on Ripsaw Falls! - WRONG - we did get wetter!! Fortunately these were the last rides we had planned to do anyway & drove home with the kids having taken their skirts off & were sitting in wet knickers on top of towels with palstic bags underneath!

    We loved it, but then again it was such a hot day.
    I'm looking at the pictures I took there right now (I have a waterproof camera), and on a scale 1 to 10 I'd say... probably 12! Boy did we get soaked ...
    But definitely a lot of fun: for a while I thought we were going to escape it, and then we got near this huge bucket... those who've been there know what I mean [msnwink].

    Definately a 10 everytime we have been on - got absolutely soaked this time. We love this ride If it is a sunny day you will be fine though as you dry off pretty quickly
