Do you get wet on the Na Vi River journey?

Na'vi River Journey is a family boat ride with no height requirement. There are no dips or drops, and you will not have to worry about getting wet. You will ride down the Na'vi River and experience the sights and sounds of the Valley of Mo'ara.



No, you do not get wet on the Na'vi River Journey at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Unlike its neighbor, Kali River Rapids, which features intentional splashes and geysers, the Na'vi River Journey is a "slow-moving boat ride" designed for tranquility and visual immersion. The boats glide through a bioluminescent rainforest on a very calm track with no drops, dips, or splashing elements. While you are surrounded by the sights and sounds of water within the "Pandora – The World of Avatar" environment, the water level remains well below the gunwales of the boat. It is considered one of the most accessible and gentle attractions in the park, suitable for guests of all ages and heights. The focus of the journey is the encounter with the Shaman of Songs, one of the most advanced audio-animatronics ever created by Disney. Because there is zero risk of getting wet, you do not need a poncho or a locker for your electronics; you can safely keep your camera out to capture the glowing flora and fauna of the Kaspavan River without any fear of water damage to your equipment.

Slinky Dog Dash is in Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Since it's an outdoor attraction, it shuts down in heavy rain and if there's severe weather or lightning in the area. Much of the queue is exposed to the elements, and even the portion of the queue that's covered isn't enclosed. And it can get HOT.
