We really enjoyed our time at River Country...especially in the summer months. We love to lie on the white sandy beaches, and none of the other innertube rides in TL or BB even come close!
It's never open when I go and Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are so much better. I say open it as a Fort Wilderness pool area...y'all could still go there and with only 2 water parks, disney would have reason to build a new, big one.
