AgentSoB Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I have taken a ride on Congo Falls almost every time I've went on a summer day for the past few seasons. I've taken upwards of thirty rides on it, without never once getting wet enough to were water soaks through my shoes and gets my socks wet. I always suggest it to people as a means to cool off without getting drenched. Although, I imagine if the geysers at the end were timed appropriately it would be a different story. It is still easy to put your feet under the seat in front of you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My biggest issue with water rides is that I am always carrying a cell phone or two and my car keys and I just don't want to pay to put my stuff in a locker for one ride or two. Because of that, I don't make it a habit to ride water rides, but generally on a really hot day I find it refreshing to take a ride on either WWC or Congo Falls. I know that you generally can walk off either wet or dry depending, but if anything I find the nice breeze over the water to be a nice effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 That's why I always bring a good sized Ziploc bag with me everytime I go to the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Gator beat me to it but yes a ziplock bag is your best bet. Seriously, when you get off the ride, your phone will be bone dry. I do the same when going to Soak City. Put the phone in a ziplock bag, put them in to my velcro pocket, and use a safety pin to secure the pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've never been a fan of water rides and having the feeling of getting drenched and that wet clothes feeling afterwards. But the best place to get soaked is in the right corner of Amazon Falls a wall of water will drench you. Perfect for that hot humid 100* day at the park around 3pm. But if I want to get wet, I'll just go to Soak City. Sent from my iPhone using Taptalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I always seem to ride White Water Canyon at about the time the "US Squirtillery Battalion" shows up at the water cannons; often loaded with more quarters than I take to the freakin' laundromat, and possibly using some kind of laser aiming technology because every...freakin'....time! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 ^I used to do that at STR at CP.. 10 dollars in quarters..ruined peoples day *splash* "oh that wasn't so bad." Let me show you the Bellagio fountains, CP style 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 LOL! But Bellagio? Meh. I don't care how "pretty" that set of robotic firehoses spewing recyled gray water is, it will never beat the splendor of my dear Royal Fountains. Never! Just kidding, though, I thought they were pretty impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I can blow through $5 in quarters on the White Water Canyon cannons in no time, usually with a >90% accuracy rate. jcgoble3, proud to be a sergeant in the US Squirtillery Battalion 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Addict Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I personally find it impossible to not get ''Drenched" on White Water Canyon. However, I almost never get ''Soaked'' on Congo Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 On Congo falls I made it out on the drop but at the end the little spit cannons got me also I was walking over the bridge and that's when the boat came down...
