    We did the dry ride and it was a lot of fun. My wife was apprehensive but enjoyed it immensely. The crew were fun and informative. The whole process was awesome. I would do it again on my next visit to Niagara Falls and what plan the wet ride with my grandkids when they come.

    Great experience! Tickets were pricy which is expected however their photo package with a video showing highlights from multiple angles was really cool and decently priced I recommended everyone get it! No matter where you are sitting you get to see how drenched you got and get to see everyone’s faces. And let me say you will be soaked! Bring towels and a change of clothes for after. They have free lockers for anyone riding. Super easy to get checked in. FYI do your waivers prior to arrival! One more heads up they seat you where they see fit. Especially if you have smaller children. They will not allow them sit in the front 4 rows. Which was a huge bummer considering we were hoping for some of the front rows. It was due to the amount of water that comes in.. Coming from a parent who’s son races junior dragsters on a race track, rides dirt bikes and 4 wheelers I felt he would’ve been just fine.. but I get it! But just a heads up if you have a small 13 year old they will not allow them to sit up front. Was super fun though that’s why I still want to give 5 stars. Our guide was Will and he was funny and super fun!

    This is the best!! We had so much fun and we stayed under cover to not get wet. The driver was awesome and our conductor was so informative.

    Best experience! Took my 2 kids 10 and 15 years old and they had a blast. Youngest said only bad part was water in her nose. If you’re in the area it is worth every penny.
