We usually get more wet from the random water jets that they shoot out right before the first small incline then when we go down the big drop, and there is a rebound splash of the water off of the right wall after the first plunge down "slippin' falls" that surprises us and gets us wet.
I rode it three times yesterday (3/1/20) and was totally dry all three times (I sat in the 2nd row, third row, and last row). My daughter's butt got wet on one ride (from slippin falls); she was on the right side of the log. However, since it was only 74 degrees out, I think they turned off some of the additional water features intended to soak the riders, to keep people from getting wet. I also try to duck after we get to the bottom of the large drop, and let the water just fly over me. Early in the day Ziploc sponsors zip loc bags. I usually put my wallet in the bag just in case.
I was a little disappointed that the water spouts, and the water that "pushes" the turtles up in the "laughin' place" were not functioning.
Also, the pictures that are automatically taken on the drop, were not appearing on the video screens, and the pictures that went to My Disney Experience were not of the boat that we were in.
I thought that after 2 months of refurbishments, these items wouldn't be broken.
I still love it enough to have done it 3 times yesterday though....
) and hold onto hood on way down (if your hairdo is important to you) and until you clear the curve of the bottom of falls.....usually it depends on whether we are going out to eat after or earlier in day, but if its near park closing and HOT....I save the poncho! 
I prefer middle left too....front and back usually have higher risk!
And from time to time, over the years seasonal or not, sometimes the spray cannons are in full force, sometimes less, sometimes when it's cooler turned off completely.
