Splash Mountain

Darn it, John, you are going to force me to get soaked on this ride again. And I hate getting soaked!

Wonderful shots of a ride rarely photographed.

Thanks Dennis! Interestingly enough, I barely got wet. They no longer slam you with those water cannons as you make that turn in the beginnin near the main drop.
 
Nice work John! Since giving that advice, I have found that a camera rain cover works better than a bag since you can keep shooting without having to worry about getting into and out of the bag. Instead you just have to point the lens down and cover the eyepiece.

I have also found the amount of soaking to be temperature dependent. Last September, the canons were on in full force but they were turned way down in December. And of course as Tim and I found out in October 2011, if there's water on the floor boards of the boat, no amount of waterproofing is going to help.
 
Of course, as we discovered last Pixelmania, PotC is now a wet ride, too. No place is safe for us dry-lovers.

Thanks Michael. This was in August, so the cannons were at full force, but their timing was such that I didn't get "crushed" like I did back in 2007 when we ended up with a "waterfall" of water dumped on us right at the start of the ride. Walked around for some 8 hours at the Pirate and Princess party VERY uncomfortable.
We did get misted a little on the big drop this summer.
