Theme Park Water Ride Tips: How to Stay Dry(ish)

Avoid Water Rides Soaking Your Entire Day

Water rides are a must at theme parks, but they can, at least temporarily, ruin shoes, socks, and makeup. Here are my top tips to survive (and enjoy) water rides without regret.


Top Tips

  1. Assume you’ll get drenched, even if last time you didn’t
  2. Pack flip-flops or remove socks—wet socks can ruin the rest of your day with discomfort at best and the possibility of blisters
  3. Plastic baggies are great for storing wet shoes or keeping belongings dry
  4. Stretch-lace sneakers make shoes easy to slip on/off
  5. Waterproof phone holders let you capture video without damage
  6. Join communities like American Log Flume Enthusiasts for more ride tips and fun


Why These Work

A little prep goes a long way. Dry socks, waterproof holders, and flexible footwear let you enjoy your ride without regrets.
