Ride it during the last hour or two of the day. There's nobody there then, so you can ride it over and over again.

Use the water cannons, for a small fee, to completely soak your family or complete strangers.

Lindsey Rix

If you sit in the first row, you will get wet. Very wet.

Stephanie Benson

Hot Hot Hot. You think your going to cool off but the flames make it so hot.

The heavier the boat, the bigger the splash so make sure you take your friends!
