kingsislandfan1972 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Simple question, which ride gets you more wet White Water Canyon or Congo Falls? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Definitely depends. I'd say your chances are far more likely on White Water Canyon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have made it 5 consecutive cycles on White Water Canyon without getting wet. But the sixth cycle... Let's say it got its revenge. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbum123 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 White Water Canyon is like playing Russian Roulette. More often than not, you are going to get wet. With Congo Falls, you can avoid getting drenched by strategically sitting in the Boat. I only get wet on Congo Falls since my Wife won't ride it so I have to take the kids while she gets drenched on White Water Canyon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengals fan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I will not ride water rides so I will be dry unless it rains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It really depends. With both of them- I'm going to sound crazy- but I swear if I am taking someone on it for the first time and I tell them they won't get wet- they get soaked and vice versa. It's a real dilemma. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I hate walking around in wet shoes. No water rides for me 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I hate walking around in wet shoes. No water rides for me I usually lift my feet slightly off the floor of the boat in the wetter parts of WWC. It helps immensely with this problem, but it isn't quite a perfect method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Stand on the bridge and watch the ride come down beneath you. Perfectly safe dry spot. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've made it off White Water Canyon almost completely dry, save for some water in my shoes. To which I was disappointed, because it was a billion-kazillion degrees, and I desperately wanted to be drenched in cold water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've walked off both rides nearly completely dry, and I've walked off both rides completely drenched. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 simple solution to the shoes problem - buy a good pair of sandals (non-leather) that are good for weather. For example, Teva brand mountain climbling sandals. They can be worn on all roller coasters and both WWC and CF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 There is only one sure way NOT to get drenched on both rides and that is not to ride them. If it is a hot day, then I want to ride them to cool off. I just make sure my valuables and money are protected from getting wet. I know once jeans get soaked, it might take a while for them to dry off and if the temperature is cool, you will feel cold until they dry. But as far as which one will get you more drenched, I would say it is White Water Canyon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I just put my feet up or leave the shoes behind how do you get away with that? Every time I ride either ride, someone tries it and gets told to put their shoes back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I haven't on those I generalized. Cedar Point is where I've done the no shoe thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My uncle used to take a umbrella on White Water Canyon. He still got drenched and it was frowned upon by the ride operators. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium2018 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well some people may enjoy the ride itself. I mean the ride is fun, but maybe they just don't want to get wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My logical thinking is if you don't want to get wet don't go on a water ride, I don't care if it is a ride you haven't done lol Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ^ Is that why you chose to stay behind and soak us instead on Banshee's announcement day? (You missed out!) I had no particular desire to get wet that day, yet I still rode. I don't think anyone in the KIC group really wanted to get wet on Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown on Closing Day, but that didn't stop people. Sometimes, a ride is worth more than the physical effects it may (or may not) have. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 ^ I get cold very easily so the idea of going on WWC did not thrill me, though I gotta say I honestly don't remember that now lol It's lots of fun soaking people who go on WWC. I went on RFYLCB because that ride doesn't get you that wet lol Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini XL-200 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I've found that sitting in the center of the front row of Congo Falls does not get you wet. Of course, that was one ride that took place a few seasons ago, so I could be wrong. I've always gotten wet on White Water Canyon, with very, very few of those just being my shoes getting soaked.

jcgoble3 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Congo Falls is a fickle machine. Usually, sitting in the front row, I just get a thick mist and don't really get what I would call "soaked" (though the bridge takes care of that ). However, on seemingly random occasions, the wave will bounce off of the bottom of the bridge and back down onto the boat, totally drenching you from head to toe. You never know when it will do that to you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you sit in front of 3 guys including an Interpreter and you will get drenched. I'll stay away from that ride at all costs next season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ^^ The rest of us in that log didn't get very wet. It probably wasn't fair to leave the front seat for you after making it heavy with 3 adults. (Should've boarded quicker!) Next time, perhaps you can send Terp, Goki32, or myself to the front. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Good Luck with sending me to the front. Did that at Dorney once. I think I'm still wet! And that day at KI, I got very wet. Just not as wet as the little guy in front of me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
