I was thinking the lift as much as anything else. Even if people are not daft enough to stand (and people sure are daft) they may lean round to see/admire whats going on and to come. With great caution I probably would

Err .. Helloooo! Why didn't anybody tell me about this? I mean, I saw the thread title enough times - new rapids ride - woopie doo, doesn't SDC already have a decent rapids ride?
I'm talking about that giant, rotating elevator contraption and the 82ft drop! WTF? ?
Looks fantastic! Loved this park so much, definitely wanna go back someday.

Mental. Until now I'd just assumed a bit of an upgrade, a retheme, a short extension. Maybe even some new boats!
I was definitely NOT expecting them to reimagine the Anderton chuffin' Boat Lift!

Why do I have a feeling that this will open tomorrow for 4th of July?

Is this the first rapids built by RES?

Yes it is, although I believe RES is partly formed by some former engineers of ABC Rides - who have made rapids and the like before.

Never seen anything built quite like it before. Looks like a decent quality rapids too, I wonder how it compares to some Intamin rapids rides, namely Infinity Falls.
Were the previous rapids the park had any good? I'm guessing this one is significantly larger.

You should see all the whinging from GP on Facebook who are stating they MUCH preferred the original despite never actually riding this, due to it being too thrilling.

POV:-
Had no idea it had a large lift hill besides the elevator, but the ride looks fantastic (as expected)!
Doesn't look particularly soaking though. I'd say the ride looks on par with Infinity Falls.

Might be because of the empty raft. Less weight = Less soak from my experiences on Congo River Rapids at Busch Gardens Tampa. Every time I was by myself I remained dry, every time I had a full raft I got soaked.
