This was an excellent boat flume ride in all respects except for one. There was barely a wait, the lift hill moved rapidly, the drop was fun, and the splash was enormous, providing a complete and thorough drenching. The splash itself was wet enough, but then it sort of rebounded off of the bridge and kept cascading down on the boat. So what was the problem? Well, I can say that Ive never before seen water so brown in a theme park ride. And I mean brown. I have to assume this was the color that Elitch Gardens chose to dye the water, as I refuse to believe it could really be that dirty. Just in case, though, I kept my mouth shut tight during the entire splash, and that proved challenging due to the duration of the soaking. Practice holding your breath before riding Shipwreck Falls!
