Kali River Rapids Tips
- Scary Factor: Not traditionally scary but thrilling due to turbulent rapids, spinning motions, and a 20-foot drop. The unpredictability of getting wet adds excitement.
- Speed: Moderate-paced water rapids ride focusing on splashing and navigating the course rather than high-speed thrills.
- Ride Duration: 6 minutes of immersive, jungle-themed water adventure.
- Drops: One significant 20-foot drop that creates a splashy, thrilling moment.
- Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to turbulent waters and unpredictable movements.
- Accessibility: Wheelchair and ECV users can access a stationary loading area for boarding without time pressure. Transfers involve stepping up and down narrow, wet steps into the raft, which can be challenging.
- Sensory Advisory: The ride features fire, smoke, and flower scents, spinning rafts, backward motion, drops, and bumpy rapids, which may feel jarring for some. Guests sensitive to getting wet should note that you will almost definitely get soaking wet.
- Plus-Size Friendly: Yes, with individual seats and lap bars that accommodate a range of body sizes.
- Best Age Group: Ideal for families and children who meet the height requirement (38 inches or taller).
