So today I was riding the Matterhorn, pretty much a normal ride until the bobsled hit the little pond at the end of the ride. Usually some water sprays out toward the side and I might get hit with a drop or two but today when I rode it there was a large splash and a decent amount of water landed on us. Fortunately it was a warm day and I was able to dry off quickly but I have never seen that happen in my years of riding the Matterhorn. Maybe the pond was a little full from the rain earlier this week? Anyone else ride the Matterhorn recently and get wet (or not)?

When I was a kid, I would spread my arms out and, with flat hands palm-up, would angle my hands so when we hit the water, my hands would direct it up and back, usually drenching whoever was riding behind me (usually my parents). The technique was quite effective.
