 A ride that gets you quite wet. Not too wet, but still pretty wet. Fortunately, it's enough fun when you're not getting wet to make the wet bits bearable, and the PFW before the inevitable RW happens is fantastic.

 Generally, different guests will have different levels of tolerance to water on rides, so it's important to note that in extreme cases, one enthusiast's excessive wetness may be another's unacceptable wetness. Some members with extreme wetness tolerance may even refuse to ride anything that fails to give them a damn good soaking unless it's raining.
-Also, the level of wetness experienced on a ride can vary depending upon the time of year and other riders whom may join you. For example, (the now defunct) Ripsaw's water jets only tend to be used on those unusual days when the sun can actually be bothered to shine a bit. Whilst we're on the subject, riding Ripsaw with [[Towersstreet|TST]] is '''NOT''' recommended whatsoever. But you may end up doing so anyway if you attend a meet and are easily coerced by others.

 It is also noted that after you ride a water ride and get either unacceptably or excessively wet (i.e. so wet that you can't even move due to the heavily drenched clothes you're wearing) and are with TSTF, then you are bound to be caught in [[faff]] as nobody really wants to sit on another ride while soaking wet. This will mean standing around like <s>soggy beavers</s> lemons for up to an hour whilst fellow members attempt to go from being 'drenched' to a level of wetness that is near 'moist'.
