I know it is a new ride but I wonder if this will be one of those that breaks down all the time.

If you look at the past 3 major additions, the first year had several growing pains the park had to work through

When the rafts returns to the platform, there is a pad it sits on and ir spun around to line up the entrance toward the riders, it wouldn’t spin without the platform being wet so they zip tied a hose to the floor so it would keep it wet.  Sad

Sad? Sounds to me like a unforeseen issue.  I guess they could have waited to open it till they ran this pipe but maybe they wanted to get people riding and fix that later.  Some folks have to nit pick things

Even Jurassic Park had problems with some of their attractions when they opened.  I think we can accept that there will be a learning curve.

Yeah it’s sad it’s an unforeseen issue on a multi million dollar project. It doesn’t take a genius to know that a raft that size won’t spin on a dry piece of plastic.  Not SDC fault but the builder/designers

Sorry for the horrible errors I am literally all thumbs with this phone.  When will someone post a video of the ride?

It’s a 12 min long ride. Might be a while.

I wonder if they will even officially allow cameras. Our first video might be an official one from SDC.

Now I realize, people will sneak cameras on at some point.

It doesn't appear all that wet.  Maybe with weight in the boat?

It desperately needs a soundtrack.  I hope the speakers aren't just for ride ops to shout, "Remain seated," to guests.

It appears there is lots of special lighting along the whole ride.  Night rides could be pretty sweet.

At least when Mystic River Falls fails the boats don't start eating the tourists.
