"You get very wet," said Alexia Van Sky, 11, of Wadsworth, who was soaking wet after jumping off the ride about 11 a.m. "Shooting (water at) people on shore while they shoot at you is the best part of the ride."

LaShatelle Fountaine Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I went to the park two or three weeks after opening day. At that point there was alot of work to be done on the ride. I haven't been back to the park since, but have seen some pictures. The theming actually looks really nice! I was really impressed with the positive changes the park has made. Quote
