Twice, however, during the show our section was treated to what I would call a moderate rain shower for about a half minute which left us with dripping wet hair and shoulders and VERY damp everything else. I was just curious as to everyone else's wetness accounts and how you feel about them. I could see it being refreshing during a warm summer night, but it was kinda border-line last night...we walked out of the park pretty cold.

Nothing like buckets of water, but at least one point where it was akin to a rain squall.
Originally Posted By lesmisfan yeah that has happened to me before when i was in blue very very front section. it was misty almost the entire time but around two different times there was what i would consider rain fall. we weren't drenched by the end of the show though.

Originally Posted By Moderation Guys, I'm here to tell you that the riot gun effect actually exists. I saw WOC three times last week from front yellow section. Two of the days we just got misted, though 25 minutes of misting was fairly substantial. On the other show, one of the jets, while spraying at full speed, went clockwise rather than counter clockwise to get back into possition during the Wall-E sequence and it was just like using a fire hose on the crowd. I had a 4G card in the camera and recorded the whole show. I was wearing a poncho so I didn't get too badly soaked, but people around me were drenched. ( and a shout out to MonorailMike who was standing behind me with his guests). The gun shot us horizontally, so only the boardwalk section was drenched. People one rizer up and 10 feet back escaped the riot gun entirely. It was kinda awesome, but I'm not sure people without a poncho will agree with me.
Originally Posted By LuLu LOL! Yeah, that's NOT supercalifragilisticexpealidocious if you get wet! We were at the front of the circle in the Blue Zone. We were wearing hooded windbreaker-type jackets (Ursula was with me when I bought mine!). 25 minutes of mist and we were pretty damp thru those jakkies. My daughter, who's dealing with some underlying health issues, had a sore throat the next night and was sickish for a week.
