Ride layout

After leaving the station, the raft will enter relatively calm waters. After travelling a safe distance (usually 5-15 metres), the raft will enter more turbulent waters. Usually rapids are made by the amusement park having large cylinder tubes underneath the water. The bigger the tube, the bigger the rapids. Along with the rapids, there are often waterfalls

Finally, there may be pressurized water jets. An automated system will spray gushes of water through a tube, or spray gun at the raft as it passes by. Some parks (for instance, Busch Gardens Africa), have quarter-operated squirt guns so that passersby can shoot at riders.
