This is yet another fantastic water ride from Universal. Situated close to Ripsaw Falls, Toon Lagoon can provide tons of aquatic fun. I ended up taking two spins down the wild, well-themed course and though I was soaking wet from head to toe, I enjoyed every second of it. The rapids were very well designed to hit from every angle, and to fill the boat with water only to be flushed out. The story behind Plutos quest for power was great, and the themeing made it awesome, definately the best themeing on a rapids ride, even beating out Shipwreck Rapids at Sea World San Diego, but I remember getting (get this...) even wetter and going even faster through the course on Shipwreck, which is just half a notch above the Bilge Rat Barges. The random spraying throughout the course was nice, and the carwash part was awesome, as even the lift wont save you from harms way. The twisting turn after the lift was very cool, and as always, the happy ending was nice. This would have been a perfect way to cool down in the 80 degree temperatures that I experienced at times, and we were certainly fortunate enough not to have to worry about crowds... we didnt even have to get off of the rafts for or second ride.
