Grizzly River Run

[Brady's Mom]

We are definitely a poncho family. We always chuckle at the people walking toward Soarin' with soaking wet jeans and drowned rat hair! DH and I went on a ride similar to Grizzly (at Magic Mountain) in Sept. 07 and he was wet to the skin. The inside of his belt didn't even dry until 2 days later - that's how wet he was! And he even hung it up to dry in the hotel.

We had 8 people in our group the beginning of Dec. and all of us but my dad were wearing ponchos - he chose the full rain gear. Waterproof socks, Crocs, rain pants and waterproof jacket with hat. I think he was the driest of all. Even our 4 year old wore a poncho and howled with laughter when we went spinning down the drops. I think we rode it 4 times in a row one day.

Funny off topic thingy - DS 4 was tall enough for Grizzly but not tall enough for Mulholland Madness. Both are a 42 inch ride. He was terribly disappointed about Mulholland but ecstatic about Grizzly!

ETA: DS 6 didn't like the kid-sized Disney poncho DH bought him. DS 4 wore it instead. DS 6 preferred an adult poncho for more coverage. He loves Grizzly - hates to be soaking wet!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I think we will wear ponchos and be proud to look a little silly!!!!

I usually wear a poncho. I like the ride, but don't want to walk around with water dripping off me.

You'll be having too much fun to look silly.

To each their own. What ever constitutes fun. I do not think it would be as much fun if you rode the ride without the chance of getting wet. My son virually has never gotten wet( maybe a couple of spots) but my DGFm always gets soaked no matter where she sits.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a chihuahua in a scuba gear on GRR. I mean, think of all the people staring . . .

At least everyone has a great sense of humor. With all the gear I wear when I am working, I am afraid they would laugh forever if I put a poncho on. I is like doing Soarin with your eyes closed, but I guess some folks do.
