This is the best splashdown ride I've ever been on. Though sitting in the front your feet get soaked right after you go down a tiny hill in right after the lift.

I love this ride. I like the themeing and the splash, you don't get too wet but you get cooled off.

I love this ride! It makes you super hot when your in the building so the water is refreshing and I ride it everytime I go to BGW.

So STupid. I totally agree with SFOG. I thought it would be a little storyline but it was so short. THe statue falling looked retarted and that only part that was a little exciting was the beam that "breaks" at the beginning. But there was no story, just some fire and than a drop. I can name so many rides that beat this out. They could have done so much more with this. DISSAPOINTING!

Horrible ride. You stand in line way too long for what you get. I understand its just a splash down ride but for BG, they could have done much better.
