splash zones

Spray-drenched seating sections

Splash zones are areas around water features—pools, fountains, water rides—where you're likely to get wet.

Theme parks mark splash zones near log flumes and rapids rides so visitors can choose their exposure.

The term extends to any area subject to spray or spattering: The first three rows are the splash zone at marine shows or comedy venues where audience members might catch more than they bargained for.
