I found an article on the Springfield News-Leader's website about Roaring Falls.  They interviewed those who were brave enough to ride it on the 18th in the cold weather.  It sounds like it gets you soaked--both on the ride and the viewing platform.  And those who rode it really enjoyed it.  Roaring Falls isn't anything new in the design category, but it is a tried and true popular design.  Sounds like CC has a winner with this ride.  The article also has a picture of the ride--boy do they look cold in those yellow ponchos, but the coldest has to be the person in the front without one! 

Here's a link to the article:

Btw, it also has a rather uninspired virtual version of the ride.  Check it out if you like.

Yes that photo is a press photo that was sent out to all of the media -- in fact I got it as well in an email  ;D

Cheers to the one person on that raft who had balls enough to forgo the parka.
