Our kids loved it! Every seat is a good seat and it was awesome! You get to see San Diego and Coronado!

Laughing, yelling, screaming, singing, throwing our hands up, getting wet, loving every minute of it! Three generations sharing that kind of fun.

Freddie H.

We loved it! Like riding a roller coaster on water. It was super exciting to fly across the water and the sudden spins were heart stopping!
