What a shame this ride has been weakened from its original opening. I rode in 2004 for the first time in about ten years. While this ride never had the biggest rapids and there was never a gaurantee of getting drenched, the waterfalls used to be in play. I think the waterfalls had the wooden barriers put in front of them about 8-9 years ago, but I remember a couple of occasions when a raft was trapped under the waterfall for many minutes with the ride ops having to come over to push the raft out or even turn off the water. It never happened to my raft but it did happen. I actually like the fact that not everyone will get drenched. Good point by Herc in the last review, this used to be cuting edge. I remember waiting almost 3 hours to ride this. sort of
