Waschzuber Rafting is Tripsdrill's whitewater rapids ride that is almost guaranteed to leave riders anywhere from mildly damp to soaking wet.
As with Tripsdrill's Badewannen-Fahrt zum Jungbrunnen log flume ride's bathtubs, Waschzuber Rafting has pushed aside the generic rapids ride boats in favour of giant wash tubs for riders to travel inside.
The ride's queueline and station are set in an old 1808 washhouse, which doubles up as a museum displaying various artefacts associated with the history of clothes washing: slightly bizarre maybe, but typically Tripsdrill! Wash tubs depart from the washhouse, navigating a course featuring white water rapids, waterfalls and a large whirlpool.
Waschzuber Rafting is huge amounts of fun, and more interesting than a lot of rapids rides thanks to its unique boats, general level of theming and the variety of elements that the wash tubs encounter throughout their journey downstream.
