The Rip Tide at Valleyfair, Shakopee, Minnesota

Valleyfair's Top Spin is called Rip Tide and I'd have a tough time categorizing it. Is it a flat ride or is it a wet ride?

Wet ride you ask? Rip Tide's movements are synchronized with several fountains of water making the ride extremely wet.

You WILL get wet on Rip Tide as it will send you face first into a geyser of water. From what they guys told me afterwards the worst part is the blast of water goes right up your nose so if you don't want that pinch your nose while meeting the water face first.

Before Rip Tide these three were dry and afterward they were thoroughly drenched.
