What a great ride! I’d heard so many reviews of how short it was, which was true, but it didn’t matter at all because the theming and landscape were excellent. We loved the simulated fire area as well as the drop and eventually ruled that this was more fun than Grizzly River Rapids at DCA, even though Grizzly does have two drops instead of Kali’s one. We also loved that the Kali drop didn’t have the spinning feature built in like it does on Grizzly, because that always makes us dizzy and I wish they’d cut it. We got wet, but not soaked, so what did we do? Ride again without getting out. Yep, the CMs hadn’t noticed early enough that we were in a handicapped raft and I commented, “Of course, you could just let us go again”, and we did. Got much more soaked this time, damnit. But our spirits weren’t dampened, only our Hawaiian print shirts, so we left happy and energized. I forgot to mention what a beautiful queue line this ride has too – wow!
I never got drenched on GRR! Is the drop bigger or something cuz when going down the 22ft drop on GRR, I barely got wet even though I was going down backwards. GRR's rapids were not that strong IMO, and it seemed we were just travelling down a calm river. Kali's rapids seem much more intense in the ride videos and pictures.
