Time Commitment

Length of Ride: 5 minutes

FastPass: Yes

Single Rider: No

Queue Description: The long queue area is decorated with artifacts from Asian cultures and there is quite a bit of stuff to look over while stuck in line.

Access Information

Health Restriction: There are several steep drops and the rafts can rock violently. People with heart, back, and neck problems should not ride. Those prone to motion sickness and pregnant women should consider not riding. There is no way to ride and avoid getting wet, so take into consideration any issues this could exacerbate or equipment that could be damaged.

Ride Access: The queue is wheelchair and ECV accessible. Once you reach the front of the queue, you'll be directed to a special loading area next to the rotating platform.

Wheelchair Transfer: Wheelchair and ECV users are required to transfer into the raft units. This requires stepping down into the raft and then stepping up to exit.
