You know, we have never done this ride. Of course we live in Illinois and get to Hannibal Mo. for the Tom Sawyer Days every few years...where we do riverboat rides on the paddle wheel boats. But what is this ride like? How long does it last? Maybe we are missing something. We havent done it before because we can do riverboat rides here in town...living on the Mississippi River, so we try to hit the big rides that are special for the kids. Are we missing out??
