Wild Wild Water in the Wild Wild West

Okay, so today we travel into FrontierLand....Did you know Davy Crockett had 3 ears? A left ear, a right ear, and a wild frontier (sound it out). Anyways, this land is pretty big and has plenty of need for water fountains, i.e. in the desert? So whether you're lookin' for a quick way to wet your whistle or a downright, yee haw drenching of your thirst, this entry will pick ya up, partner. Lets begin:

DF#1
As you walk into FrontierLand, there is the giant store with the name Mercantile on your left; once you see the store, turn left a bit more, towards AdventureLand. Right underneath the Fort.
Flow: 3/5
Location: 5/5
Temperature: 3/4
Size: 2/3
Theme: 3/3
Overall: 16/20 Pretty good Fountain. Although it has multiple sizes, the higher one has always dribbled since as far back as I can remember. Also, the theme is cool, gold pan set in wood: Frontier indeed.

WF#2
Zocalo Park. In front of Zocalo Ranch Restaurant. In the little rock area,
Flow: 5/5
Location: 5/5
Temperature: 4/4
Size: 3/3
Theme: 3/3
Overall: 20/20. OH MAMA!!! This is our highest scoring drinking fountain yet! Great everything. This water is great, and this fountain is awesome! It has three sizes and each work great, all are cold and the fountains themselves are bronzed and in rock. 20/20?!?! This fountain is a trooper.
A real Buffalo Soldier. Hands down best in FrontierLand. Go ahead, drink from this and be happy.

WF#3
Inside Big Thunder queue.
Flow: 2/5
Location: 2/5
Temperature: 2/4
Size: 2/3
Theme: 3/3
Overall: 11/20. What a letdown...First off, you're rushed by the line, then, you have to practically put your mouth on the metal to get water, and then it's warm!!! I'd rather drink the water that falls from the waterfall in the ride. I almost left the line in disgust, then I remembered I was going on Thunder Mountain.


WF#4
Big Thunder exit.
Flow: 3/5
Location: 5/5
Temperature: 3/4
Size: 3/3
Theme: 3/3
Overall: 17/20. This one got huge points in location for standard reasons and for the fact that if you drank from the previous fountain, YOU NEED THIS. It's good. Two sizes, built into rock, and not that crammed in traffic.

WF#5
Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer's Island. To the left of the landing.
Flow: 5/5
Location: 5/5
Temperature: 3/4
Size: 3/3
Theme: 2/3
Overall: 18/20. Real good drinking fountain. Three sizes, only thing that brings it down is it's temperature, it's just alright. Also high Location points because it's easy to find and you'll need water on that Island chasing your kids.

WF#6
Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer's Island. North side of the island, opposite of the landing. Next to the bathrooms on the island.
Flow: 4/5
Location: 3/5
Temperature: 3/4
Size: 1/3
Theme: 3/3
Overall Score: 14/20. The Flow is good but it wavers around and will get your face wet. It's kind of hidden, and also very small.

It would appear we have great water drinking fountains in FrontierLand. A perfect scorer, and a few higher middle class ones as well. Take heart in knowing in the Wild West, you can stay refreshed.....JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER IN THE LINE FOR BIG THUNDER!!!
