Ensign, are you a Borg?

What, didn't my screen name tip it off? :)

Mine does, as well! Borg is bad, stay away from them. They are VERY bad.

MrScott

You know GLridemechanic, we're going to have to kill you now for revealing that.

I don't know. I wouldn't mind being assimilated by that Seven of Nine unit.

Speaking of Grizzly run how come you do not even get really wet on it anymore, and they rid of the waterfalls. I just remember this from last year when I went.

Did they really get rid of the waterfalls? I haven't rid GR in years.

7 of 9 is HOT! Leave her alone!

MrScott

That is exactly why I can not. :) :) :)

lol! num nums!

MrScott

Okay, stop the thread. It's gotten too silly. :)

Well now Grizzly Run is open again.

Yes, I finally got to ride Grizzly Run! It was OK. The only thing I didn't like about it was at the end where you get stuck on the upward hill into the boarding station and have to wait there forever.

This rapids ride was never very intersting to me. I don't like the rapids rides with the big ugly pool in the middle. I also don't like how this one is practically invisible from the outside. There's no view of it at all. If people could see it, the ridership would increase. The entrance is a bit hidden too.

There is an elevated viewing platform accessible from the main midway. A lot of rapids-type rides are fairly hidden from passers-by, that I've seen.

I finally got on Grizzly the last time I went to GL, and it was OK. Need more waterfalls in operation, and I didn't like the end of it where you have to wait on the lift ramp.

I think the ride looks really fun... Is it long or short?

You are on the boat for quite a while. Probably between 10 and 15 minutes at least. However most of that time is waiting on the lift to unload. The ride is somewhat long but not much differant than Thunder Canyon. I don't really like Grizzly Run as A) no waterfalls are on and B) the themeing is non-existant. It is a concrete pad.

So then how do you get wet with no waterfalls?

There's one waterfall at the end of the first tunnel. But A way most people get wet is fill your boat with atleast 5 other people.

I was in a boat with about six of us and the only reason I got wet at all was because some water came over the edge of the boat and got me rear wet. Otherwise, bone dry. What a waste! Maybe I'm spoiled by White Water Canyon at Kings Island. You cannot get off that ride dry.
