Kali River Rapids

Frommer's Review

Its churning water mimics real rapids, and the ride's optical illusions will have you wondering if you're about to go over churning falls. The ride begins with a peaceful tour of lush foliage, but soon you're dipping and dripping as your tiny craft is tossed and turned. The snowcapped peak of Expedition Everest makes a brief but impressive appearance along the way. If the rapids themselves don't drench you, the kids manning water cannons along the route will ensure you get wet -- sometimes even soaked -- hence the cart selling oversize towels and socks just beyond the ride's exit. (Bring a plastic bag for your valuables. The rafts' center storage areas alone likely won't keep them dry.) The lines can be long, but keep your head up and enjoy the marvelous art overhead and on beautiful murals. It's not nearly as wild as the water rides at Universal Orlando, so even the younger kids will be able to handle this one. Note: There's a 38-inch height minimum, and expectant moms and people with neck, back, and heart problems or those prone to motion sickness shouldn't ride it.
