Fodor's Review:
PROPNUM="313518"
Inspired by set-ups and a locale used on the popular 1960s animated pun-fest Rocky and Bullwinkle, this twisting, up-and-down flume ride through the Canadian Rockies is definitely wet and wild. You're supposed to help Dudley rescue Nell, his belle, from the evil and conniving Snidely Whiplash. By the time your mission is accomplished, you've dropped through the rooftop of a ramshackle dynamite shack and made an explosive dive 15 feet below water level into a 400,000-gallon lagoon, and you're not just damp -- you're soaked to the skin. Actually, the final drop looks much scarier than it really is; the fact that the ride vehicles have no restraining devices at all is a clue to how low the danger quotient actually is here. You never know quite what's ahead -- and you're definitely not expecting the big thrill when the time comes. If the weather is cold and you absolutely must stay dry, pick up a poncho at Gasoline Alley, opposite the entrance.
