Best and Worst Water Rides

A while ago there were two topics on theme park review forum called best and worst log flumes and best and worst rapids rides and i thought it was quite a good idea so i thought i would make a similar topic but more general. what do you think are the best and worst water rides? Mine are:

Best:
Ripsaw Falls, IOA: great length, great theming, so much fun. 10/10
Valhalla, BPP: Great Drops, Never boring, best themed ride at the park. 9.5/10
Log Jammer, SFMM: Such an amazing classic with two good drops at the end of the ride. So sad its gone now. 9.5/10

Honorable mentions to: Bilge Raft Barges, Grizzly River Run, Divertical, Menhir Express, Splash Mountain, Flume Ride, Silver River Flume, River Quest


Worst:
Rio Grande, WH: The best thing you can say about this ride is that it is unique, but in the crappest way possible. 3/10
Tidal Wave, SFMM/White Water Falls, CGA: You can hardly call these water rides as all the water splashes out to the sides. 4/10
Loggers Run, CGA: This Log Flume is horrid as it bashes you to the side of the log at the bottom of the last drop, Painfull. 4.5/10

Honorable mentions to: All pier designed log flumes, Romus et Rapidus, Pirate Falls, Jet Stream
 
Best
Ripsaw falls IOA
Journey To Atlantis Sea World Orlando
Popeye Barges IOA

Can't think of the worst ones in my opinion.
 
Best:
Log Jammer, Sfmm
Tirol Log Flume, Europa Park
Fjord Rafting, Europa Park

Worst:
Roaring Rapids, SFMM
Tanganyika Tidal Wave, BGT
Colorado Rapids, Gardaland
 
Rapids <3 More specifically, Kali River Rapids, and Roman Rapids. The Rapids at Kings Dominion were pretty fun as well.

I like Journey to Atlantis and Escape from Pompeii too.
 
Worst:
El Rio Grande (Walibi Holland): Just a boring rapid river which has no cool effects, no speed variation and is just...dull.
El Rio (Bobbejaanland): It used to have a lift and drop before the rapids part and a cool soaking finish at the end of the whirlpool. But since both are removed, the ride is more like a boat ride than a rapid river.

Best:
Radja River (Walibi Belgium): A great and very rough and wild rapid river that has left me drenched for multiple times. I love how the boats bump against the rocks and barrels so hard, you often end on the bottom of the boat. And not to forget, the impressive finale.
Indiana River (Bobbejaanland): It lost alot of its charm, but still a great indoor logflume.
River Quest (Phantasialand): Together with Radja River the only rapids that soaked me. And I love the whole atmosphere around this one.

Best:

1. Lost River Ride (Flamingo Land) - the boat takes you on a river that runs through some of the parks animal enclosures. You get to sail past hippos, giraffes and lions :)

2. Valhalla (BPB) - especially for the part in the ice cave, brr!

3. Jurassic Park River Adventure (I.O.A)

Worst:
1.Storm Force 10 (Drayton Manor) - (I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturer and layout as Valhalla (?), but this one is so dull. Goes to show how much themeing can do for a ride!)

2.Splash Mountan (WDW) - great drop, but I found the extensive animatronics really creepy and couldn't wait to get off.

3. Dragon Falls (Chessington) - just because of THAT horrible, moldy tunnel.
 
This was terrible.

It was alright... but it is a rare credit as it was not around long!

Best
The 3 Major IOA Water Rides
Log Chute, Nickelodeon Universe
Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure, Leofoo Village
Splash Mountains/Kali River Rapids/Grizzly River Run

Worst- I really just think the worst are the ones with lack of theming, or just simply up the lift, drop, splash, the end. (Which frankly is a lot of them.)
