Which rides do you get soaked on?
Which rides just a little wet?

I skip Kali River Rapids now (I done it a few times) My kids love getting wet.
Splash Mountain is a crap shoot sometimes we get soaked other times we don't. (sometimes I wear a poncho) I always do this ride each visit.
 
US:
Jaws- slightly wet usually

IOA:
Jurassic Park River Adventure- slightly wet to soaked
Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges- slightly wet to soaked
Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls- slightly wet to soaked

Poseidon's Fury (there's a few water effects in the attraction but it isn't a ride)- slightly wet
 
A little wet: Jaws

Crap shoot:
JP River Adventure
One Fish Two Fish (it depends on how you fly your fish)

Soaked:
Popeye & Bluto's
Ripsaw Falls
 

What is Poseidon's Fury by the way?
It's a walk through attraction in several different rooms...leading up to the big showdown at the end (I don't want to give too much away). The water tunnel is cool. Here's what the building looks like so you won't miss it:

I don't think I've ever gotten as wet on a ride as I did on Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges. Every person (including my wife) that came off that ride had to wring themselves out. I don't really see how anyone could come off that ride with an ounce of dry clothes on them.

Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls is another wet one too, although not as bad. We went on it three times in a row at the end of the day, by the third time I was pretty wet.

That has certainly been my experience as well. Watching people get off that ride and having to wring their clothes is pretty funny.

How on earth did you only get slightly wet on Popeye?
 
I only got slightly wet on Popeye this trip but SOAKED on Jurassic Park. Go figure.

"slightly wet" on Popeye and Dudley? My experience is more "soaked to drowned". Honestly, you could bring a shave kit and a bar of soap...
 
Once you go down the big finale on Dudley Doright and go under the bridge just floating around, you can go ahead and take off your poncho and relax.:thumbsup2
 
my kids on ripsaw last week:

Yup, they got just a bit wet :teeth:

FWIW - there are 4 people in that log (my three kids and our niece). 2 of them you can barely see because of the wall of water :lmao:

And although ponchos are cheating - It was COLD! And normally they wouldn't have ridden this trip, but it was our niece's first trip and they wanted to ride everything.
 
Went on Jurassic Park twice. First time, got a little wet. Second time, got very wet.

Went on Rip Saw Falls twice. Pretty much the same thing there. Only difference was, I got soaked from the people shooting water after the drop.

Everyone in our boat got sopped - Absolutely drenched on Popeye. But what a fun ride. It's not themed as well as Kali, but it's longer, more exciting and more fun. We got so soaked, we had to go back to the hotel to change.
