Aside from the getting wet part, the ride is actually awesome. First off, it's long. Secondly, it has a lot of cute animated characters and tells a fun story, the story of Br'er Rabbit who is quite the trickster. Thirdly, the music is great and you'll be singing it the rest of the day (even after you go on "It's A Small World"). And FINALLY, the roller coaster aspect of the ride is amazing. It's one of the better roller coasters in all of the parks!
So, there's a lot of good going on at Splash Mountain. But often, you see the little cars riding around like this:
If it's warm out, you dry off pretty quickly, but in the cold, that wetness stings! Please, don't be one of those assholes who gets the poncho and wears it on the ride so they don't get wet at all. If you are going on Splash Mountain then own it, suck it up and get wet.
This is a tough ride to rate. If it's hot outside, 5/5 or 10/10 stars. I actually think this is one of the best rides in the whole Magic Kingdom. However, if it's cold, or even lukewarm, outside then 3/5 or 6/10 stars. Not even the best aspects of the ride can overcome how much it sucks to walk around in your cold, wet drawers.

I am with you - love this ride! I made the mistake of telling Rod that you do not get THAT wet on it, though, and he was not so happy with me at the end of the ride...I told him not to wear those socks and shoes!

There's a worse one at Animal Kingdom that I've never been on solely because everyone that comes off the ride is dripping wet. I feel like next time I may have to ride it in the name of research.
