I really like BB's theme. The Ride looks really nice, BUT I really HATE water rides. So I'll not ride BB.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks fun. I'm not much for water rides but heh, i'll ride it once. lol at the upcharge dryer. Might even be better than Splashwater Falls. Now a coaster is to be put in the area, preferably a woodie or a floorless, and county fair will never have been better!

I just rode it on Friday and I though it was a lot of fun!

I actually like it a bit better then the Vekoma lawn ornament.

I thought the rider and spectator interaction with the water gun was great and was really fun. I think we spend about a half hour just going around spraying people :lol:

REALLY great addition to the park!

Went on it. Happend to be no people in line so we went on another 2 times. A really great addition. And you will get wet if you take step on any part of the area. Trust Me!

It was a cool ride. I liked it. Does it open when the park opens? Or do they wait until it gets warmer?

Bucaneer Battle is a great ride if you want to get wet fast. One trip and i was soaked, but that did not stop me from going on another three times what can i say it felt good on my sunburn. The only thing is that depending on what side of the boat you get in on you may come off the ride drier than you thought. And people do not seem to be riding it at all all four times i went on that day no one was in line but plenty of people were at Hurricane Harbor. I also love the constant loading unloading of the boats. My other gripe about the ride is that it is extremely short, the guns sometimes do not hit the targets, and the targets seldom hit you in the boat. Other than that the tipping bucket at the end is a terrific way to get around any lines. Reminds me of the good old days of Splashwater Falls and standing on the bridge, when lines were 2 hours plus

I did notice that the targets didn't seem to respond to the water like they appear to be designed to do. I kept hitting the target(s) but the things seemed to trigger at random. But it was still a cool ride.
They need to do something about the line set up. It was arranged so people could skip ahead and there were many hues and cries about that the day I was there.
