You actually sink boats? As in fill with water so they sink to the bottom and the ride has to be closed and evacuated? Or something else?

You're half right. We sink boats to the bottom - of the shallow canal. It's nowhere near deep enough to get water into the boat. Sometimes this results in CM's hauling us out of the boat - sometimes the CMs can shove us along - sometimes it only sticks for a second and then the current pulls us along.

Then there's that thing we do on Pirates where we put the heaviest people in the first rows and lean forward on drops. This causes a big splash getting at least a few drops of water on everyone on the boat - and a tidal wave over the front end, which sometimes makes it into the boat, soaking the pants of the front row. Don't know if that qualifies as sinking either.
