When compared to the attendance of Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT, Animal Kingdom is arguably the least popular Disney Park at Walt Disney World, which is sort of like being the shortest dwarf.

When riding this attraction, the warning isn’t “You may get wet,” but “You will get wet!” Guests might be soaked, but they definitely will be splashed. However you may feel about the splashing, it can’t be denied that this attraction is exciting!
On the official Walt Disney World Resort website, the description of this ride reads:
Skim across an erupting geyser, drift below a canopy of lush vegetation and be whisked along fast-moving rapids. Graze gushing waterfalls and bedrock amid the raging current. Then, as the harmony of nature is disrupted, you’ll plummet down a dramatic 20-foot slope!
