mccarthysnerd Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have been absent from posting on KIC for a while but I've still been peeking around here to see what everyone else has been posting.... I have just been very busy lately BUT...... Now I'm Back With A Poll Question! What is your favorite Water Ride at KI, Congo Falls, WWC, and More Why Do YOU like this ride? Did you ride it the year it opened? And anything else you have to say about your favorite water ride at KI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I enjoy congo falls myself especially when extremely hot out.WWC is close second only cause i was in line for an hour last year and they shut it down,i believe it was 90 degrees out,however it was a great excuse to go have an adult beverage! I cant think of any other water rides outside of Soak City where i would go with summit plummet!!! oh wait..... nothing stands out,maybe next year a new giga slide!

IndyGuy4KI Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I miss that one as well Browntggrr. The ride from the top of the lift to the drop seems forever when I was a kid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm with Browntggrr and would have said KCKC, Rivertown would be a much better place if that ride was still there. But of the remaining water rides I'd say my favorite is WWC. One of the reasons being is that I love how it is a fairly different experience each time you ride, when I was younger I would ride over and over again with family and friends to see who would get the wettest each time we rode. One of my favorite park memories was years ago riding WWC with friends over and over again at night (luckily we had towels in the car). It is a perfect ride to go on with others and even those in your group who choose not to ride can still have fun by trying to hit you with the water cannons. And of course, last but definitely not least, it has an awesome location back in the woods, the ride feels isolated from the park, though Diamondback now makes an appearance or two. I don't ride it nearly as much as I used to, but I have a blast every time I do. Honorable mention for Race for Your Life Charlie Brown, another ride that I have had plenty of good times one and that gets you just wet enough, I just wish we had a bigger log flume still like KCKC. Congo Falls doesn't count for me because there isn't much to the ride other than the drop (I still enjoy it though), whereas KCKC took you up and snaked you around the tree tops before its big drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I understand rides like KCKC were challenging from the maintenance side, so they cannot last forever. It is just missing it would taste better if it was removed for a better rider than TR/ Crypt (i.e. WWL for Maverick @ CP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I do miss the big log flume we had, it seemed so tall with trees around it. Right now love white water canyon, especially where it is tucked back into rivertown, very different ride each time, great with a group too. Sure wish congo / amazon falls is good sure wish it could have been longer ride, but its nice to have. Will the future hold water rides be designed more like holiday world did dual lines one on the dry/one on the wet side. Its a nice concept.

TromaKing Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I do enjoy a nice ride on WWC, however it was nicer before all the added shooters from the crowd. People used to get a lot wetter by the person up in the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Congo falls since line is usually short. I liked WWC but the line for that is always long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My favorite is WWC because of the unknown of "how wet will I get?" That said, it's not always my first choice, which depends largely on crowds and the weather. On a cool day (i.e. temp in the 60s), the log flume is best because it won't leave you soaking wet. With the temp in the low 70s or on a late August weekday, I head for WWC for the thrill of gambling on a soaking while the line is short. Any warmer (upper 70s to 80s and above) and WWC's line gets really long, making the short line and guaranteed soaking of CF the better ride, though I'll often wait for WWC anyway, especially if I just ate and am waiting for the food to settle.

Bennett Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 WWC, always a fun time. Best was the KCKC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My favorite now is Congo Falls. But I used to love KCKC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 WWC. But KCKC looks like a great ride. It somewhat looks like the 'Son' of the old log flume(Race For Your Life Charlie Brown). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 WWC. It's a fun ride, but I wish it was a bit faster, and had more sharp turns. Oh, and more rapids...and less shooters. I ride it for a thrill, not to get wet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocolts Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Congo Falls, fun drop, you get wet, simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Coolangatta Racers, always loved it for 2 things, 1 is the australian theming (which is now gone ) 2 for the thrill, it was the second kind of racing slide i ever had rode, and was the best one ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 WWC is my favorite as well - nice long ride, a really relaxing walk back and the fun feeling you get when you nail unsuspecting riders with the canons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The Keelboats would've gotten my vote as well if they were still around. I don't know that I prefer WWC or Congo Falls over the other. They're both nice when it's hot, but Congo Falls usually has a shorter wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Look at all those trees, this is the Rivertown I passionately miss. I'm sorry KI, but you messed up big time when it comes to this area. My favorite water attraction is Snoopy's Splash Dance (although I do miss the Nickelodeon version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 WWC is my favorite as well - nice long ride, a really relaxing walk back and the fun feeling you get when you nail unsuspecting riders with the canons. Is it copacetic with the rulebooks to hit riders with canons? Terpy, who, yes, just HAD to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigacoaster2k Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Definitely Congo Falls.. it's always been a favorite ride of mine to cool off on since I started visiting KI many years ago. As far as my favorite waterpark ride, I'm going with Coolangatta Racer. I LOVE mat racer slides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlafraid Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Mine was WWC. I rode it a few days after it opened, waited in line for about 3 hours! It was too cold and I got pneumonia. Ah, still a special place in my heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Probably Congo Falls as it's the one I've been on the most. However, I did ride White Water Canyon recently and had a blast (the water was very cold though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Congo Falls! You can either get...wet, or drenched! I'm not that big of a fan of WWC mostly because...I seemed to always get soaked, not matter what, I get all of the water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I like WWC because "You will get wet, You may get drenched.", which is pretty much guaranteed, also people complain that it's a long walk even if there isn't a long line in WWC, but there is a beautiful scenery to see, and exercise is good, especially for me. As long as I get to ride WWC, I don't care if I have to walk 2 miles. WWC is my favorite, even though Congo Falls came really close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What little Aussie theme did it have except for the name? I mean really, BB1, I know you're a BB fanboy and all but seriously man get some liable content in your posts! 2 is liable at least, it still gives me a little bit of adrenaline and is still at my number 1 spot. Strange what 2 years could change in a person ya' know. On the flip side, I have been taking more of a liking towards the Congo Falls lately, easy to get on, and some great views of the Banshee Plaza. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'd have to say Diamondback. Another back-row rider, I presume? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 WWC is my favorite. I love rapids rides and the location of it is great being tucked back in the woods. I like flumes a lot too so RFYLCB is a close second. KCKC is greatly missed as well, would love to get a new big flume like it back. It really sucks now with Tomb Raider being gone so that area has nothing for the regular season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
