Posted October 24, 200816 yr comment_37249 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!
October 24, 200816 yr comment_37270 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.
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37315 When I say I got soaked I mean, COMPLETELY to the bone soaked. And it wasn't from the drop either, stoopid watergun things.
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37319 I have been on this... but it was ages ago. It is THE best! I look at youtube videos of it sometimes. YAY, FANBOISM!
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37327 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...
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37340 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.
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37348 I just found a bad POV of it and at 4:32 you can see the cannons Holly is talking about
October 25, 200816 yr comment_37369 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
October 27, 200816 yr Author comment_37462 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.
December 24, 200816 yr comment_41845 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
February 24, 200916 yr comment_45913 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?

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?Yes, kind of like Logers leap when you nearly go flying out your seat?.Love that feeling, though I'm so glad they installed the safety bars
February 25, 200916 yr comment_45920 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!
June 14, 200916 yr comment_60055 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?
June 15, 200916 yr comment_60120 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.

June 16, 200916 yr comment_60339 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.
