Reviews
Paul: (
) Brilliant ride you never know if you will get soaked or not, and if you are how much you will get soaked. Even if you dont want to ride it you will still have fun watching the people who do. This is one of the most fun rides there is.
Towers Tucan: () Absolutely soaking when on a good ride sequence, I love it!
Dan: (
) Ripsaw is the best flat ride on park. It's great fun and is not as sickening as it looks. The water jets give an extra dimension and the staff can often interact with the riders.
