I always find it disappointing when a theme park puts in a "major attraction" that turns out to be a ride that has the potential to be found in any traveling carnival (although Ive never seen this particular ride in a fair). This goes for any park, whether it be Dollywood or Disney. This ride looked like it could have been folded up and fit into two semi-trucks minus the theming. The ride itself wasnt all that thrilling either. It lifted you up slowly, started spinning you around slowly, and then began tilting slowly. I think the finalie of the ride was supposed to be when the fountains surrounding the ride got high enough to touch a few of the riders feet. That was the "you WILL get wet" part of the ride. Timber tower also had only one ride attenedant helping load everyone into the ride, so it went very slowly. Like 5 to 10 minutes between each ride cycle. The ride itself sucked, but Im giving it a few points for the very basic theming that was added (spitting beavers and bear noises).
