I went there on my 8th grade field trip to WDW, and the concept was better than the execution.

My middle school field trip predated DisneyQuest by 10 years. We did the utilidoors and a separate trip to the protected wetland areas around WDW. I think we also did KSC that trip.

In DisneyQuest, there was a "raft ride" that used screens, although there was no real water involved. It was called Virtual Jungle Cruise, I think.

Minion Beach
Loosely based off the video above, Minion Beach has guests in the middle of all the minions on a private island; an island that was once visited by the Waturi to find Kunuku.
This mini-land will host one water ride, The Minions Rafting Boats, some shops, and a restaurant called The Yellow Banana; this is also a great way to infuse characters into the "park", using a popular series and blending it with the backstory of Volcano Bay.
The Minions Rafting Boats is a dark/water thrill ride, that has guests, along with the help of the minions and Gru, find the fish themselves; the guests will also have to look out for Dru, who also plans to take the fish, which also helps with the cliffhanger of DM3; the ride is a blend of dark and wet, as the final turn takes guests on a huge plummet down a smaller volcano, fire spitting from the sides.
Bonus:
In 2019, in time for Typhoon Lagoon's 30th anniversary, Ketchakiddee Creek will become The Incredibles Rapid Getaway, an area that will host 10 different themed "splash areas", and of course, a shop to sell the beachy-themed Incredibles merchandise.

CHALLENGE 1
VOLCANO BAYT
Fellow Imagineers, now that you had time to experiment in Disney Springs, the Clash of Titans begins! As you might have guessed our first challenge will take us to Volcano Bat (all rights reserved by @D Hindley ), I mean Volcano Bay, Universal's newest park and Third Gate, as some (mistakenly) call it.
-Background Information-
Volcano Bay is the latest addition to Universal Studios Resort, as it opened in 2017, and overall it's highly themed experience, that offers the perfect balance between thrill and relaxation. After all, Universal's Slogan for Volcano Bay is Live The Carefree Island Life. It also uses the TapuTapu, a device that you'll use it to ride most of the attractions, activate interactive surprises, open rental lockers, make cash-free payments and more.
-Challenge-
For the first challenge, Universal is looking to create the most immersive and better themed Water Park Attraction, it can be a new build or an overlay, the most important thing is that it must immerse guests into an experience that ties nicely to the park's already existing backstory!
-Bonus-
As a Bonus, Disney has assigned you the task to incorporate a Disney IP in either of their Water Theme Parks, they want to be able to sell a lot of merchandise out of it.
-Rules-
You may use between 1 and 3 sentences and up to 1 image. For the bonus you may use 1 sentence. The deadline is Saturday, June 30, 2018 at 10:59 PM EST. Critiques will come shortly after, with Challenge 2 being posted at Sunday, July 1st, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST.
-Tips-
K.I.S.S. – Keep it simple, silly. Try not to complicate or overthink things too much. It’s a simple, casual competition – there are no eliminations. Propose as you please!
-Judging Criteria-
Is it creative?
Does it accomplishes everything within the challenge guidelines?
Is it realistic?
-Reminders-
This prompt will be a points prompt. As a reminder, everyone who submits something as well as follows the rules will get 1 point. 3 awards are given for each challenge. The three awards are Bronze (+1 points), Silver (+2 points), and Gold (+3 points). Additionally, everyone who answers the Bonus receives an extra point.
Akua's Heroics (A Water Dark Ride)
In an attempt to prove that Volcano Bay is a theme park, Universal has decided to replicate the ride type that defined Disneyland as the first theme park: the dark ride!
A family focused dark ride will be built telling the story of Akua's brave journey to obtain the Tapu Tapu bands and bring them to the people.
Instead of a traditional dark ride vehicle, guests will drift along a slow moving river in rafts making it essentially a heavily themed lazy river (a water park staple) full of effects and simple animatronics.
Bonus
Stitch's Ohana Vacation Celebration will take over Typhoon Lagoon featuring a new slide, a summer party, and a scavenger hunt to find all of Stitch's sousins!

Hele Wāwae
One of the disappointing features of an otherwise beautiful water park at Volcano Bay is the hollow and metallic side of Krakatau, leaving the volcano from certain angles of the park feeling incomplete.
Beginning with an all new Phase 2 of Volcano Bay, Krakatau will be enclosed with an all new mythical walk-through experience called the Hele Wāwae (Adventure Trek) as guests walk through a portal to the ancient origins of the island, interact with audio-animatronic Tiki Gods, use TapuTapu to meander through to different rooms (almost like a 110 foot talk escape Volcano) all before the lava erupts at the top of the hour.
Guests can experience this 15 minute walk-through attraction that completes the Volcano and offers an experience to the top of the volcano to those that might be prone to the motion sickness or intensity of the adjacent water slides.
Bonus:
At Disney's Blizzard Beach, Frozone's Double Dipper will retheme the Downhill Double Dipper attraction as well as the west-side of Blizzard Beach since as the story goes, the ice began to melt more rapidly on one side, causing Frozone to have to step in and help save it.

Wrath of the Ancients!
Deep within the jungle is a temple created by the Ancients thousands of years ago, this temple is sacred, any mortal that enters shall feel the Ancients' wrath, you have found the temple while lost, and you must feel immense pain. Coming soon to Volcano Bay is an all new river rapids adventure where you navigate the temple and it's traps. Ending in a fiery climax in an epic battle against the Ancients, where you all barely make it out of the temple with your lives.
Bonus: Coming soon to Blizzard Beach is all new water slide based on the classic Goofy short The Art of Skiing.
This is the kind of project I was looking forward when I thought of it, something out of the box, something that would be so unique and revolutionary in the market, that it would become a new standard for Water Parks, and would be considered as a classic a few years from now! I would definitely visit Volcano Bay if something like this was added, as I’m not a big fan of paying a ticket for just slides, because while they might be funny, they are mostly unthemed, and lack of any theme park magic IMHO! Great Work!
Bonus: That Goofy Short is a natural fit! +1
Mythic falls
Guests find a secret passage through a cave, unlocked by Tapu Tapu. There they come across a water slide,when going down, guests encounter the Moho, which are guardian water spirits that can control the water and weather and can shapeshift into many different forms. As it turns out, the Moho created this secret waterslide to please the people that visit it's domain, just make sure to come in with a flower as an offering, or else you will go down the rough path!
Bonus:
Elsa's magical waterslide will replace the abandoned waterslides that currently sit in Blizzard Beach.
I feel like this is one of the most realistic ones! I really like the character of Moho, and the fact he is an AA, plus the fact that he’ll let you pass by giving a flower is great, Moho having a weak spot for them is perfect, in a way it makes feel like I know a lot of the character just from a few sentences. And using the Tapu tapu is a genius idea! Great work! I’m really pleased by this entry!
Bonus: Disney nowadays is like the Frozen Ophrah, you get Frozen, and you get Frozen! Extremely realistic! +1
Let me start by saying this sounds like a lot of fun, I never thought of it, but once I read it, I was blown away by it, as it sounds like a lot of fun, and for the loosing it team, they’ll get a refresh, in Hot Summer Days, I would say that there will be no looser! Overall, I feel like this is pretty realistic, as it wouldn’t be expensive, and would still be a unique water park experience. Great work, you created the attraction I never knew I needed!
Bonus: I never expected the Rock, I definitely enjoy being surprised, and I’m sure Disney will want to have the Rock all over the place if the movie it’s successful, which will probably be! +1
Thanks to @DisneyFan18 for the help.
Journey Through the Spirit River
There's a new sight in the River Village, a large rocky mount with the face of an open-mouthed demon carved into it, leading beyond our realm and to Avaiki, the netherworld of the spirits, the exotic, wonderous, but sometimes dangerous realm of ghosts, monsters, and legends. Guests board canoes (eight per person) and guided through Avaiki by Kokonati, a lively coconut spirit, encountering the Waturi ancestors in their ghostly homes, giant marine creatures, monsters made from coral, rainbow-feathered Piwaiwaka fantail birds, and encounters with the ferocious volcano spirit Vol, and the benevolent wayfinder fish Kunuku, offering a way back to the "surface world". However, the journey is up to the guests - using the TapuTapu, guests can choose which way they go through Avaiki, as the river ride has several routes to take, but all end in a dramatic Splash Mountain-sized drop into a beautiful lagoon.
Bonus:
The Country Bears Winter Wipeout - An outdoor cart coaster based around the good old Country Bears, who have moved to Blizzard Beach for a wintery vacation, for a musical, rollickin', railroad ride through snow-covered hills and tunnels, and they even brought a few of their distant cousin along too!
Glad that I could help E! I’m extremely impressed by it, it’s honestly one of my favorite entries this round, as it sounds realistic, unique, and it’s incredibly creative! It perfectly uses the backstory of the Park, and the Tapu Tapu. Additionally, I think this would be mesmerizing to watch, and it’s lines would rival those of a Disney E-Ticket like Splash Mountain, although probably Volcano Bay won’t have as many people as Magic Kingdom. If Disney would have done something like this for the River Journey, it would have become an instant classic, and I would dare call this an instant classic as well!
Bonus: So many surprises this challenge! I really like the idea of the inclusion of the Country Bears, as they are Disney Classic that tends to be pushed aside! +1
A really really liked the way this immerses you into the experience, and definitely enhances the backstory of the park, the idea of this being a rite of passage is incredible, and the video definitely sells it to, additionally being interactive makes it even better, as it would have big crowds just for the fact of being able to compete against yourself and others, you’re truly exploiting human nature, therefore I would say this is highly realistic! Great work as expected!
Bonus: I love Peter Pan, therefore I would love this, great idea D! +1
World's First Screen-Based Waterpark Attraction
Board your outrigger canoe, meet your guide, the legendary mystical fish Kunuku, and voyage across the Pacific in search of a new home. Feel the waves of the ocean with a state of the art ride mechanism, along with experiencing the rain on every long-distance voyage. Screens present Kunuku, how he helps use the sun, moon, & stars for navigation, as well as other ocean friends: Fungi the dolphin, Llio the monk seal, Honu the turtle, and Kohola the whale.
Bonus: Search for gear and treasures from the Swiss Family Robinson's boat wash as it washes ashore in Typhoon Lagoon.
The fact that it includes screens probably makes it the most realistic out of all, as Comcast love themselves som screens, they have it everywhere! So why not on a Water Park, I honestly feel like this is something they would definitely consider, and most likely greenlit! Congratulations for a magnificent first entry to this competition! Keep it up, I can’t wait what else you come up with for this episode!
Bonus: Swiss Family Robinson’s is unique, as I definitely didn’t expect it! Great work! +1
I feel like this is something Universal would definitely do, as they like IP infusion as much as Disney does, and the Minions are crazy big, so it would probably be popular. I like the type of ride you went for as it sounds like a lot of fun! I would probably ride it, and surely kids will beg their parents to visit Volcano Bay just for this, so definitely realistic! Great approach!
Bonus: If Incredibles 2 does as good as Frozen did, which is possible, then I expect it to be the next Frozen, which I hope doesn’t mean anything bad! +1
