The concept

You float beneath a canopy of plants, glide over a spouting geyser and past waterfalls. Then nature is thrown off balance and the journey gets wilder.

The Experience

You glide past waterfalls and rocks in the fast current. The highlight is a 20-foot drop (about 6 metres). On a hot Florida day, that's wonderfully refreshing.

Bring a poncho

You'll definitely get wet and may get soaked. Bring a poncho, dry clothes or a towel.

Use a locker

Opposite the entrance there are lockers for your phone and anything that needs to stay dry (first come, first served).

Lightning Lane

This attraction is part of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which lets you choose a time slot in advance and skip the regular queue. You buy passes in the My Disney Experience app; according to Disney, visitors from Europe can only do this after arriving in the US.
