Raft down the turbulent waters of the Chakranadi River aboard a 12-passenger raft through an enchanting Asian rain forest. A blazing inferno rushes toward you! Escape down a rushing waterfall! Beware of gushing geysers! Get set to get wet! One of the wettest river rapid rides in the Americas.

I was actually pretty disappointed by this attraction. It doesn't really hold a candle to the Grizzly River Run attraction in California..too short. - Jacob Sundstrom

Aside from a fun drop and top notch theming (it's Disney after all) this is as average as river raft ride gets. The Popeye ride at Universal surpasses this in all respects. - Eric Zaldivar

It Was closed when we went in Jan-2013 - Meg T.

This rapids ride is pretty fun to ride. I got perfect wet on this ride. I loved it. If only they added a couple more splash effects then it would be just right. - Justin Knight

If you've already ridden Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges at Islands of Adventure and you're waiting in line for this one... Prepare to be disappointed. - Bryce McGibeny

only fun to go on during an extremely hot day.. you get legit beyond soaked - Arianna Griffel

Very good theming but the ride does not measure up to the Universal water rides. A class lower. - Rob Pastor

Fun, but incredibly short. Pop Eye over at IoA is vastly superior. - Sean Huckel

This ride is way too short and you will get drenched. I usually just skip it. - Mickey Black

Mild rapids ride. 6.5/10 - Denis Del Bianco

Theme is really good but it is really short and not everyone got wet. It was kind of disappointing. - Brent Moody

Worst ride ever wasn't rapids long and had a small drop - Andrew Dougherty

Not good. Too wet and way too short, just one drop, few turns and you are back in. Not Disney worthy. - A. P.

YOU WILL GET WET! I love this white-water raft ride, and the drops are not too steep. The setting is great, and my favorite part is getting drenched. - Matthew Harackiewicz

If compared to another very similar style ride, Popeye at IOA, it really doesn't come close. In its own right, its OK and better than any Rapids ride in the UK but needs to be longer - James McGee
