To experience the attraction at least once ... and not take the risk ... and think you can dodge the ultra wet thing .. wear a poncho ... and wear a type of show like crocks or sandles. Don't wear socks. The lockers can come in handy too .. just at the main entrance into the ride.

I'm pretty sure that if it had been 65 degrees we would have been drenched. LOL

But when it's hot enough, that ride is very refreshing.
