General information
The Gully Washer has one lift hill and several ways to get you wet during the ride.[2] The water ride is open from Opening Day to Fright Fest. During Fright Fest, the water on the ride get dyed with the color red to represent blood for Halloween. In 2010, Six Flags added more ways to get the riders wet during the ride. The Gully Washer is themed to a raging river in the town of Crackaxle Canyon.
Ride
Once riders gets to the station and get on one of the several rafts, the raft goes through the man made river in Crackaxle Canyon with several dips and turns. The raft will then do a U-turn in front of Bubba's restaurant and goes back and follow along the quarry wall where it then goes under the water fall. After the water fall the raft will then follow the river under Iron Rattler until it reaches the lift hill that takes you back to the station to left the passengers to get off.[3]
