The decorations look 👀 like they raided the garden center at Home Depot. Garden on top of a salt mine to find ingredients? Anyways…
Ride broke down halfway thru. Took forever to get evacuated. Looks even worse with the lights on.

Empty, rushed, unnecessary replacement for Splash Mountain

Best ride we went on! Several drops and seemed to last a bit longer. With lightning lane on veterans day the whole experience took about 20 minutes

The ride is long, which is nice. Perhaps one of the worst queues in all of Magic Kingdom. On a hot day... fugeddaboutit.
The drop is iconic.
