If you\u2019ve been following this series of blogs you\u2019ll know I\u2019ve shared a rollercoaster, dark ride & flat ride version! I\u2019ll pop a link to all of them HERE. But today is all about water rides yet again something we don\u2019t have much of in the The UK! Nonetheless here\u2019s our 7 must dos!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Battle of the Galleons:<\/h2>\n

A splash battle is always fun! But this is one of the soakers. It is one of two outdoor water rides at Alton Towers and definitely the wettest. If your visiting on a hot day this is the ride for you!\"\"<\/p>\n

Pirate Falls:<\/h2>\n

A classic log flumes with pretty decent theming & simply one drop. But that one drop is enough. It\u2019s filled with different effects around the final drop too. It\u2019s a real fun edition to the few outdoor water rides we have!\"\"<\/p>\n

Stormforce 10:<\/h2>\n

You legit plunge into the lake. But that\u2019s all part of the fun. 3 drops all told with the backwards one been the most brutal. After a whole year of been closed some of the more classic effects now work! Such as the tilt before the first drop. Not to forget how speedy the turnaround table is for the backwards drop now. Plus the extra theming about saving our ocean is enough to get mentioned in this blog!\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Rumba Rapids:<\/h2>\n

Definitely the strongest of the rapids that now operate. Last season it was a lot of fun to experience. Filled with pops of getting soaked and all way round just a lot more enjoyable.\"\"<\/p>\n

Tiger Rock:<\/h2>\n

Probably one of the most re-rideable flumes there is. We tend to stay on this and get plenty of re-rides throughout the quiet days. It\u2019s fun and a nice way to relax. By all means it\u2019s not a soaker like the others mentioned in this list but you don\u2019t always want to get drowned right?\"\"<\/p>\n

Tidal Wave:<\/u><\/h2>\n

Absolute soaker. One drop but it\u2019s legit the wettest ride we\u2019ve ever done. Just the way the water sprinkles over you to then boom your drowned in matter of seconds. It is perfect for the summer months for sure.\"\"<\/p>\n

Rugrats Lost River:<\/u><\/h3>\n

Deceiving it\u2019s the one word that springs to mind when I think of this! Tiny little family log flume you\u2019d expect a sprinkling right? Well no you\u2019ll get drenched. But that\u2019s pretty fun too. It\u2019s short and quite literally sweet but prepare yourself for getting soaked.\"\"<\/p>\n
