 Review of Grizzly River Run @ California Adventure
-1 Rating Posted by: scubadude on 10/14/2003 12:43:00 AM
This year I have been going to the Disneyland Resort about once a mounth and sometimes more. I have been wating for the right day to ride this attration. Finaley that day came. It was a hot summer day. After seeing this ride every time I came to DCA I will finaley get to ride this monster looking ride. After rideing I felt a little disapointed. The scenery was great but I was still dry. No one in my raft was drenched. One person was splashed a little but not enought to cool off. The best part of this ride was at the very end when you come crashing down the attrations tallest drop. Right after you begin the plunge they spin the raft so that you do not know who will hit the bottom first. At the top of this ride you just float around some rapids traviling threw caves. It is my favorit raft ride that I have ridden but I was not entierley satisfied in the end, that is why I gave this attraction a seven.

Im just wondering how you stayed dry on that ride. The only way that you wont get wet is if you try to stay dry.

We went on this ride in the middle of the summer hopeing to get wet. Only one person in our raft got wet. No one was drenced but one person was wet. I like going on these rides and getting drenced. I do not know how this happened. The day I went on this people were coming off dry. I asked a cast member if this was normal and he said NO. He did not even know why. Every thing was working corectly he said.

Hmmm. Thats strange. The only way to stay dry is to step on the holes in the bottom of the raft.

What holes? Do you mean the holes that drain the water. I never saw water coming up threw those holes. I miss water falls on this kind of ride, the ones where you have no option but to become drinched. I only ride thie ride during the summer. I hope I get more wet this summer.

I was told that water gets in through those holes, too. Well, maybe its not the holes. But, for a while, I covered the holes with my feet, and I never got as wet as I did with the holes open.

I never thought of that. Even if its true I dont see how that would effect it. Do you get more wet from the waist up or the waist down?

It depends on how full the raft is and how heavy the people in it are. The heavier you go the more water splashes in.

I know what Scubadude is saying about the waterfalls. I love those. Congo River Rapids at BGT has a waterfall that you go directly under and you become completly drenched.

Yeah, waterfalls are the best part of a raft ride. Getting drenched is the second best part.

I like what Popeye @ IOA does. Instead of getting wet from waterfalls, you get drenched from all of the splashing. And the ride is so long and theres so much, you are literally soaked to the bone at the end. You get wetter and wetter as the ride goes on, instead of just getting wet at one or two points. Also, a good friend of mine went on Grizzy Rapids at DCA and said almost the exact same thing as you, Scubadude.
disneyman on 12/3/2003 6:46:39 PM said:
Yeah, now that I think about it, there has been one or two times that I went on this and was wet, but not soaked. The first time that I went on this though, I got soaked to the bone wet.

I hate getting soaked on rapids rides. Thats why I usually avoid riding the one at MM and Knotts. I like some water but not drenched. And theres nothing worse than walking around with wet socks. I really hate that. Thats one strong point for GRR. You dont get soaked.
disneyman on 12/6/2003 1:08:49 AM said:
Again, it is possible to get soaked on this ride, but usually its just in between soaked and dry.
toaddy on 12/8/2003 5:43:57 PM said:
No its not. You might have an arm of shirt get dreched but thats it.
disneyman on 12/9/2003 8:09:01 PM said:
I told, you guys, the first time I went on this ride, I was totally drenched. Youre right, you dont usually get very wet, but you can.

When I last went on GRR I was in a full bost with all adults. We did not get drenced. My cousin who knows this ride much more than I do said that he noticed this year that the water displacment at the bottom of the last drop was not as high. He noticed more people coming off dry. Does any body know if they can turn down the amount of water during the winter. Every time I ride GRR it is usaley in the winter months.
disneyman on 1/8/2004 10:51:26 AM said:
Yeah, they probably can. All of the machinery is in the "riverbed", so it wouldnt matter if they took some water out of the ride.
