Matthew Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Recently rode this Log Flume and a half , and thought it was brilliant! Themed in every nook and cranny, and the drops within are amazing. Especially the final drop with the water coaster segment in it?But yes, favourite water ride out of the UK. Made this topic after searching for the relevant topic, so discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I rode this in the summer and it is the best water ride I have evr ridden. There are loads of drops where you thinkk it will be the big drop but its not. Yes the theming is amazing for this ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 When I say I got soaked I mean, COMPLETELY to the bone soaked. And it wasn't from the drop either, stoopid watergun things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have been on this... but it was ages ago. It is THE best! I look at youtube videos of it sometimes. YAY, FANBOISM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Rush Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 An awsome ride, and 1 I hope stays at Islands of adventure for many years to come.Not only is the theming great, the ride has all you could want. good storyline, thrills, brilliant soundtrack, and it's perfict for those nice hot long days at the park.:)I'd say it was the best water ride, although I do like Jurrasic park river adventure...

Phyciodes Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Just found out about this ride from this topic. Been taking a look at the utube video for it and it does look great fun! Short but thrilling drop from the look of it, themeing looks incredible! And I'd love to get the chance to ride it someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I just found a bad POV of it and at 4:32 you can see the cannons Holly is talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Oh wow I didn't realise there was a huge indoor section and 2 drops before I saw that POV vid. The utube vid I watched only showed the final drop, and all this time I thought it was a really short ride Yeah not the best POV in the world but I can see how great the themeing is! Long ride as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I surprisingly didn't get wet on this the other day. Thanks to my trusty Busch Gardens Poncho But after the final drop with the water guns I got damn soaked!I'm going to Islands of Adventure tomorow, I'll get some more pictures and add them to this topic. I love the constant rules inside the ride.This really is my favourite water ride... joint with Splash Mountain and Journey to Atlantis, especially with the water coastery bit inside of it.

richy2001 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 yeah I just came back from an 11 day trip to florida, weather was hot even though its nearly christmas, was averaging about 80degreesF.but managed to get to islands of adventure for 3 times, but only rode ripsaw falls twice.I found I got more wet on the first 2 small drops, reason being the water displaced from the front of the boat bounced off walls and pillars and straight back into the boat, but those cannons are a bum at the end. their only fun if youre squirting someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theface102 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I have ridden this twice and absolutely love it! Its deffinately the best water ride ever! And you get so soaked! I like the way that when you get to the bottom of the chute, you kind of pop back up again. Does anyone else know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepie Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm surprised nobody has brought this up, but this is the first log flume in the world that goes 10ft below the water level. So on the last drop, when you go into the tunnel thing, that's 10ft lower than the splash down.Amazing ride, although I prefer Bilge Rat Barges!

Chantelle ^.^ Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Oh man!The Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls is a classic!I love it! =]My aunt thinks its dangerous tho...idk why =/Whats dangerous about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well I think a few years ago there was an accident and because of the steepness of the drop you come out your seat a bit , (it's amazing ) That's why lap bars have been addedBest log flume ever and I wish one like it would be built in the UK. When you look at things like this I would much rather have the traditional log flume than a water coaster to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James6 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 To be honest they don't change it a whole deal , they don't actually press down on you , if they did that would be terrible as it's a log flume. Thing I love about those boats is , Although they are quite cramped, each person has a seperate seat so if your in a boat with complete strangers it makes things less awkward.
