![]() ![]() I’ve had a good look round and there’s nothing obvious. I assume there’s a staff member hidden close by listening with a hidden camera operating the water features and answering the questions. This is an interactive fountain which responds to passersby by engaging in conversation and rewarding them with a squirt or fountain of water from various jets. Again not a ride but one of my favourite places to have a rest and be entertained. A great way to pass the time and cool off. They then spot the dinosaur head water cannons and retaliate and everyone gets soaked. This is where we set up camp and soak the unfortunate unsuspecting passersby below. This area is well themed and landscaped with heavy tropical foliage so anyone wandering through this area won’t realise that above you on a higher level is another area with water guns aiming down. Behind some rocks there are dinosaur heads which are actually water cannons shooting upwards. If you follow one of the paths it leads to a dinosaur containment area complete with high Jurassic Park style security doors. It’s situated near the Pterandon Flyers and is an adventure type playground with hidden caves, walkways and is great for kids ( and grownups ) to explore. We only discovered this by accident on our third holiday and it appears it’s not very well known about so we usually have it all to ourselves. Not really a ride as such but a great place to cool off and have loads of fun often at the expense of other park guests. Luckily we survived and didn’t get eaten. My other half and I just happened to be right at the top of the drop when it broke down. ![]() Nice and relaxing till you get to the end. You will probably get wet and possibly soak your bottom half. Combining a boat ride adventure with a flume ride. There’s a dummy seat that you can test before you ride to see if you fit. A bit of a tight squeeze for someone my size but worth the effort. Roller coaster and flume with a huge drop at the end. Another ride in the Toon Lagoon area of Islands of Adventure. If you’ve a sense of humour you’ll be laughing all the way. Water comes from all directions and from water guns that the observers can use. You have to wear safety belts, very bouncy, you will get very wet. This year a fellow rider tried three times but got spotted and gave up in the end. Don’t try to stash your shoes in here as they won’t set off until everyone has their shoes on. On the Bilge-Rat Barges there is a covered central compartment to put your belongings. Take a spare plastic bag to put your handbag or purse in whilst you ride or a Ziploc bag to protect your phone. Lockers are situated at the main entrances of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. ![]() I would advise doing these rides all on one day and dress in clothes which will soon dry in the sun or rent a locker for the day so you can get changed afterwards. However they are good for a photo opportunity. I kept feeding them with dollars but I think it would take all day to get dry and the sunshine is free. I don’t recommend the huge people dryers which are conveniently situated near the wet rides. ![]()
