Positive aspects of the product (pros): Fun and thrilling water slide "coaster" Cons: can be hard on the back-side
The 3 slides of Crush N' Gusher are what's classified as "water coasters". It's a water slide, but it has high powered jets of water that propel you down and UP the slides much like riding a regular roller coaster. The 3 slides are individually named, Bananna Blaster, Coconut Crusher and Pineapple Plunger. The different slides are somewhat similar to each other, with little difference. Cocunut Crusher and Pineapple Plunger can accomodate up to 3 riders per tube, but Bananna Blaster can only accomodate up to 2.
The ride itself is very fun if you like this sort of thing, but is over way too soon. You will most likely get off and want to go on it again right away.
One word of caution for riding this attraction: Keep your back-side elevated or you may get an uncomfortable blast from the very high pressured water jets.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Really fun and unique! Cons: The spanking you may get...
Crush'n'Gusher is a really unique slide in that you go up, not just down. This not only makes the slide longer than others, but more fun. I found it pretty fast and quite scary, although my DD and DH went on it again and again and again.
It's really nice that you can do down as a family (there are 2 and 3 person rafts here). I would not have had the courage to do this one alone.
My DD says that the only thing wrong with Crush'n'Gusher was that she got "spanked" on the way up. So did her Mom & Dad!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): The first drop!!, Going on this ride alone Cons: There are none!!!
I love this ride!!! I had the opportunity, due to a lack of crowds, to experience this attraction multiple times in a row. Once with my wife, then with a friend, and then (several times) by myself. It's quite a rush when you're all alone on the raft.........

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Super fast and shoots you forward on a plume of water! Cons: One of the slides will not allow you to go solo
The Crush & Gusher is my favorite water park attraction in all of Disney World. It is super fun to shoot forward on a rush of water and fly through the tubes! If you're a single rider you will only have 2 of the 3 slides available to you (unless things have changed since I was there last), which is apparently a safety rule. Another tip is to go to Crush & Gusher first thing... I usually am able to ride repeatedly with no wait when I go straight to Crush & Gusher, as it's a little out of the way and people don't find it right away.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the most fun waterslide I have ever been on Cons: could be longer (I had to put something down)
This ride is a BLAST!. Three different version to choose from and each are different enough to keep climbing those steps. The feeling of riding an innertube up hill then dropping down, it's a whole new sensation in a water slide. The line to get a tube selt a little unorganized.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): so fun! Cons: keep your tail up!
This is my all time most favorite water slide! The water coaster is a cross between a water slide and a roller coaster. I rode doubles with my friend, and we loved it! I do recommend liftin your rear as those rollers can leave a bruise. Before we got our raft, we watched everyone as they came out of the slide. We noticed every raft with 3 people on it flipped when they hit the pool. I can't wait to go to TL just for this! Very exciting!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): unique water coaster Cons: not as well designed for single riders
A wonderful addition to the water park. Water jets propel you uphill and gravity downhill to the pool at the bottom.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons:
This was one of my favorite things at Typhoon Lagoon. I rode two separate times in the late afternoon, once on Pineapple Plunger and once on Coconut Crusher. I found the latter to be more exciting. Would have liked to try Banana Blaster as well, but wasn't sure if that was restricted solely to triple tubes.
