Wet? Rides

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

It may seem like a weird time to ask this, but we've had 78 degrees just a couple days ago. So, what's your favorite water ride ANYWHERE (It doesn't even have to get you wet. Ex Pirates of the Carribean)?

For me it would be Blizzard River first at SFKK which is a themed Roaring Rapids to Penguin (villian of Batman).

Secondly, it would be the Scooby-doo (Ghoster Blasters?) ride at SFStL because of the theming, and you can shoot the ghosts. Also, it's air-conditioned.

Third, it would have to be Jurassic Park at IOA in Orlando. Theming is great, and the drop at the end isn't bad.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

well,

#1 Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (mostly indoor Intamin Flume with extenive themeing and reverser tables, not to mention a 100+ mph wind guest and lightning and the boat splashing though a wall of flames on the water((gas bubbles bubbling up though the water and ignited, very cool effect)))

#2. Popeye and Blutos Bilge Rat Barges at IOA(River Rapids)

#3. Poseidon at Europa Park (Water Coaster by the same company that made every single ride at Europe exept for Silver Star) :)

I've only been on the water rides at SFGAm and Kiddieland. I really enjoyed the Pipeline at Kiddieland when I was younger. That's got to be my favorite. It scared me a lot though, especially after one of my friends told me that you can flip if you're alone in the 'boat'. It was a very fun ride though.

Second best water ride, I guess Roaring Rapids. Really fun ride.

Is that the one where the boat turns backwards? That is very fun! I also love Splash Mountain. I am not a big fan of water rides though. Coasters all the way! :)

I havent been on many.. So,my favorites would have to be: Dive to Atlantis (although getting to the lift was the slowest most boring experience of my life), the shoot-the-chute at SFKK and PKI( the splash was huge at KK and the one at PKI had some air), and Thunder Canyon at CP.
I wish I could have gone on Penguins Blizzard River at KK, it looked fun, but it was closed while I was there.
