Just got back and dang, is it a great rapids ride. That said you will get soaked. The drop and lift are fairly novel, but it is by far the most turbulent raft ride I’ve been on. The line was moving pretty fast as well. The conveyor style loading was really keeping dispatch times low.
 
Nice! I went to Sea World Orlando on Sep 21 and they had runs of the ride with 'crash dummies' (not the live ones) but walls were down and you could view the ride. Returning Nov 4-8 and look forward to riding.

Those are technically called "Water Dummies" as they are nothing but big plastic tanks that can be filled with water and weigh around 170 pounds max. They're used to test the vehicles weight distribution during the rides, and not for "crashing." Ride engineers use these during the testing phase of a ride by adjusting the amount of water in each dummy.

Kumba was the first coaster to ever used them 25 years ago.
