“Sweet Nannys” the Hawaiians says about their bananas. Well, this is one sweet pinball machine! Love the Slip-In-Slide theme with all the well placed ramps. Fun stuff and will make you laugh, and if not you will most likely repeat some of the call-outs and giggle.

Great fun machine with some of the most fun ramps in pinball. And there are layers to the playing area like no other pin that I have seen, upper playfields, ramps over ramps and subways underneath.
There is a very simple objective that people can follow and some great call outs and hints on what to do. But I found the game quite hard to crack on with and this dented my lastability feeling. Still in my collection so can't be too bad.

Took awhile for me to get used to the speed and how hard to control the ball. Now that I’m better it gets played more than any of my machines. Only beat Wet Willies once in the 4 months I’ve owned but I try again everyday.
This machine will stay.

I picked up a very dirty machine last month and have cleaned it up. I added leds, the led and gi boards and titans. This game sizzles. It’s super quick with some nice shots. Bigfoot feature is top shelf. The music is good but not great but the theme for me is super fun. It plays fast and sometimes frenetic just like white water rafting. The ramps are excellent and the game’s rules are challenging but not too complicated. This one for me is a keeper.

A difficult game to rate. Once you get going and get in a rhythm you can keep a ball going for a long time and see a lot more of the games features, which are quite impressive. The ramps are terrific and the upper playfield is very well done. The way many of the ramps undulate and wiggle back and forth mimics a raging river, perfectly encapsulating the theme. The whirlpool is also a neat effect. From a layout perspective the only thing I don't really like is that the right side of the lower playfield is taken up by the mountain and doesn't have much to shoot at, making the left flipper somewhat underused and making the lower half of the playfield very tight. If you miss a shot in the lower playfield it often drains.
A specific problem I had that I didn't see mentioned is that every plunge comes down the center of the playfield. I didn't see a way to do a short plunge or other way to avoid it. If it drained immediately I got a ball save (pretty sure, although some other reviewers said there isn't one). But if it didn't, I couldn't ever get control over the ball right away after the plunge, so I lost a lot of balls before I ever really had a chance to aim at anything. Plunge, glancing hit off end of flipper, hit something in the playfield and right between the flippers or out an outlane. Many times I'd lose the ball within seconds but got no ball save. Very frustrating.
The thing is, when you do get control of the ball and can start sending it consistently up to the upper playfield--man is it fun. It's the challenge of getting there before you get frustrated and stop plugging quarters in it that's hard.

A really nice simple yet complex shot pin. It's brightfull and joyfull, which are big quality for a pin for me. Music can be a little bland at first but improve when you advance in the game. The flow of the shots is a blast, very satisfying.

Incredible number and length of ramps, this is a really fun game.
The theme (whitout licence) is ok for everybody and every age.
The topper with heliophore technic is amazing and hypnotizing.
There is a lot of things to do during the game. The main rules are easy to understand and the others features appears gradually after playing several times.

white water is a really well engineered game with great sound design but it has it's flaws.
this game is very unforgiving on some of the shots you need to make to progress and it can be slightly unclear what you need to shoot for to get certain objectives when you start, but otherwise it's a pretty simple game.
the voice lines are really cheesy but in a good way and blend with the table's theme really well
when you make shots on this game it is really satisfying
the whirlpool award system is integrated well
but this game has no ball save at all, which might make the game less appealing to beginners.
also if you want to own this game be warned, it is a maintenance NIGHTMARE with all the plastic parts you have to remove to get to things, good luck remembering where to put everything back.
but as a game you find in the wild, it is very fun and challenging, white water gets my seal of approval.
