From what I've been told, terrible. "Gym showers, but worse."

The guy in the Beast costume must be happy to have the full body outfit be a benefit for once. Also, darn, if I knew this was going to happen I would've stuck around and gotten wet instead of hiding from the rain in Pinocchio's.

Thanks! Certainly a more Strange Performance of FOF! Some Routines when on it looks like. While Shocking to look at, This looks to be just FOF going through a Normal Rainstrom with no Thunder/Lighting whatsoever. Not unlike My Visit to the WI State Fair's Midway during a non Thunder Monsoon 1 Year. My Cousin and I ran frrom Ride to Ride with no wait in the pouring Rain. I hate to admit it but it was kind of exciting! LOL!!! I also encounterd a Monsoon in 2021...you never know what memories You'll Make!..... As for Floats, I totally understand the need for the Rainy Day Parade but Yesterday was not MK's first Parade Monsoon, It looks like the floats MK has are like Weather Proof actually..

97%. :) I think.... Assumes 9am to midnight operating hours, and combined parade waiting and viewing time of 30 minutes.

Usually what I see from Videos/Streams, the moment the Rain picks up, the Walking starts. Although, I can't tell if the Tangled Dancers are enjoying the rain or doing their Routine?....
