Best Way to Prep for Dudle Do-Right Ripsaw Falls?

Oh thought of another tip for Ripsaw Falls - when you come down the final drop keep an eye out for the water guns! Other guests will pay a quarter to shoot water at riders and it can drench you if you've avoided getting wet up to that point. I know this from experience, I got blasted with water that was so strong that it knowed a contact lense clear out of my eye!! Thankfully I carried spares with me. I had avoided getting wet on the drop other than the odd splash but after the water gun I was soaked from head to foot!!
 
My DH and DS always wear gym shoes in the parks. Can I put their shoes in a locker and get in line and ride the ride barefoot?

In terms of restrictions, I meant that I was told you couldn't wear flip flops in the past. The issue I have is that I don't want to get my shoes drenched when on the ride. This is as far as I remember though so maybe I'm wrong. :confused3

Also, thank you for all the feedback so far! :thumbsup2

Aha. I wore crocs Athens on ripsaw and those are flip flops. We carry those with us on the wet ride days.

I don't wear unsecured shoes on dragon challenge, forbidden journey, dr doom, etc, and would bet they aren't allowed on those because you might lose them and the shoe would then cause problems in a variety of ways, but on water rides that's not an issue.

On FJ, you can wear flip flops. I often do, as I hate hot feet. Anyway, just cross your legs at the ankles and they don't fly off. Was never told couldn't ride on the other rides either, just always cross my legs. On FJ, I've also seen people take off their flop flops and hold them or put in the little compartment behind their back.
 
I don't think even a poncho could save you. You will get soaked, to the bone.

Yeah. We wore ponchos. It was late October and cloudy and chilly. Worthless. The water went inside the ponchos and under the ponchos and then when we thought we were in the clear, people shot us with the water guns.

Here is a pic of us after getting off of JPRA and waiting in line to go again. We were soaked to the bone.

Haha yes we might well have met before! It was a one time thing - I knew from then on I had to duck or make sure the person in front of me was substantially taller than me lol!
 
We've ridden JPRA dozens of times and only once did we get drenched. But we did get drenched! It all depends on the weight distribution in the boat and where you sit.
 
Yep we have come off of this ride.............drenched.......or dry as a bone.......or just a few splashes.

It really does vary with weight distribution on the boat and where you are.

DS took a picture of us last year just before we got off (he wasn`t on the boat) and I am bone dry.....DH is very wet....and the lady in front of me is drenched.

It`s different every time.
 
When we rode JP I didn't get wet at all the first time. The second time we got soaked. I just looked at my daughter and the lady next to me and cracked up. It so unexpected!

We were the second to last row both times!

will they allow you to throw them in your seat and sit on them for the ride? That's what I've always done on rides where there is a chance my flip flops might come off.

Yes you can do that cause I always wear ball caps and any ride I think it will fly off I just take it off and sit on it and flip flops you can do the same thing
