From my understanding the water levels and how wet you get on this ride can be controlled. That's all great, but I highly suggest that CP should just keep the water levels at non-soaking at all times. I can guarantee the ridership would be much better than with the ride being a soaker. Flumes are not meant to get you soaked. We have 2 soakers and even in 90+ temps people still don't want to get soaked. Those people who do will go ride Snake River Falls and Thunder Canyon.
Shoot the Rapids looks awesome and should be a great addition to CP, but in my opinion, if the ride was a non-soaker it would be a bigger success and many would enjoy it more. It would be something different to the lineup of water rides.
Thanks for reading.:)
