I stay away from the water rides because the lines are always super long in the summer. If I had to pick it would be the American Plunge.

Well, that is hard.

Lost River of the Ozarks: You will either get drenched, partially wet or just kinda moist to dry. Dont get me wrong it is a FUN ride and is an institution! Dont miss it.

American Plunge: Again a hit or miss in the get soaked department. I have rode it and it is a hoot but have either gotten really wet or just partially moist.

Dont forget

Fire in the Hole: Good ride. Potential for sheer soakness or just moist. Sit in the right spot for optimal wetness. Ask around for the best spot.

River Blast: You will get very wet. It has to be the best get soaked ride.

But ride them all. They each have their own unique experiance. All the rides do. SDC is an amazing place that is really hard to not have fun at.

Trams, I don't know.  I have yet to ride American Plunge and not look like I fell in the lake!  How did you stay moist?  LOL 

River Blast is great fun, too!  I wasn't too keen on riding it, but once I did I loved it!!  And I was soaked!

My very favorite all time ride - wet or not - is Fire In The Hole!

lets just hope Fire in the Hole still has the splash down at the end when we go back in March. DW's Blazing Fury felt so weird not having it.

Out of the two choices, I would have to choose Lost River. It is sometimes hit and miss on whether you get drenched or stay bone dry. But it has the entertainment factor over American Plunge. AP used to be my favorite water ride, but the new cave just ruins it for me. I used to never get wet on AP. Then came back years later with my hubby and got soaked. It makes a difference where you sit on AP! When you fill up the car and sit in front you stay dry (;D), but just two people in back, you'll get pretty wet!

To stay dry on the plunge, you make sure you are the 2nd or 3rd person.  When everyone leans forward going down hill, bend down as far as you can.  The person in front of you and the people behind you get all of the water and you will come off dry to "moist" lol!  I don't ride it because it makes me sick, but I do know how from when I was younger.
