Every time I’ve come to Busch gardens this ride is closed. And it’s the best ride in the park!

Very fun ride through the river, especially when you are a group of friends coming to enjoy & get soaked!

Great ride if you're wanting to get soaked and cool off. If you don't want soaked don't ride or wear a poncho lol

This is a great ride to go on mid-day when it's warm out. I have never experienced a long wait for this ride. The line moves very fast so you can probably ignore what it says for the wait time.

It's good, but you get VERY wet. Plus, it's an extra 5 dollars to get somewhat dry.

A fun water ride for the family. The scenery is very nice, and the wait line has a komodo dragon exhibit to keep guests entertained while waiting in line.

Not the best raft ride. Pretty short and not much theming. Very slow to dispatch (load/unload, get going). You definitely get wet though, so it does its job.

Very good river rapid ride. Most of us got wet, one out of five got soaked. Some strong jerks and a generic river background keep it from being 5 stars. If you're at Busch gardens and you like water rides get on this one!

As promised, I got soaked! Highly recommend bringing an airtight bag that can fit phones, wallets, and other essentials that need to stay dry.

Gonna get wet. But great way to cool off. Recommend brining flip flops or water shoes for it. If I wear shoes and socks feet wet rest of day and get blisters from walking.

Yeah so get this. We had grown adults that couldn't even hit the side of a Bus on those water cannons. I taunted them, but they missed me everytime. Bush Gardens, time for more accurate and powerful water cannons, I want to feel the risk of being ejected from the ride! I made a diagram for reference.

I rode this when I was 11 with my cousin Shawn the very day it opened. We stood in line a long time. Missed a free towel by about 40 people. Love this ride. Wish it was longer.

When they tell you, you may get soaked.they're not lying! And I'm not lying when I say, on a 95° day.it felt GREAT, just be prepared!

Waited in line until the lightning stopped. Wasn't too long. Kept my feet up so my shoes didn't get wet. That's about all that didn't get wet. Fun ride, great in the heat
