But really, I think they are fruit crates like you see at Blizzard Beach around the water ride that was new last summer. Slush 'n' Gusher or something like that. The story has to do with it being a fruit canning factory or something. Perhaps someone who has been there recently can give better details.
Mostly I remember a terrific wipeout at the splash down. If you put the fat person in the front of a 2 person float, you do a pretty good re-inactment of the Titanic's final moments before sinking. The front of the float kind of digs into the water and the not fat person gets to ride up in the air for a while before the back of the float hits the water. It was fun and later I got to see other couples perform that landing so I now know what happened. The great thing is the person on the back just holds onto the handles and rides it out.
