I worked at Riverview in 1972. My buddy, the Chutes operator, knew how to take revenge on a snob. If he stood on the bow of the boat that was waiting in the passenger loading dock, the boat would lower, making the water in the watercourse rise. Then when the snob's boat came plunging down the Chute, instead of a light sprinkle, they would get drenched to the skin by the bigger splash. Ha ha.
My first kiss was here in this ride.
LOL
