Grizzly River Run

Flume ride
Minimum height to ride: 42 inches

Description

Billed as the longest, tallest and fastest "tub-style" river raft ride in the world. Look to get plenty wet, but don't expect the characters and songs that Disney delivered on its "Splash Mountain" log flume rides.

Boring.. Very honestly not much better than any other river run ride ive been on. Our six flags has one very similar. Better than the one at Sea World but nothing special. We experienced a big back log at each of the drops which really disrupted the flow of the adventure. We had 4 and 5 "rafts" queued up at each drop. Disney should really do something about this. - T K

I love this ride! The drops are really fun. On really hot days, make sure to get a fast past early in the morning because the wait time can sometimes get up to 2 hours. - Erin : )

The drops can be daunting when you see it but it's not that scary at all. The theming of the attraction was very Disney-ish. If you're thrill-seeker, ride it at night, where you get limited view of what's in front of you. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

A fun ride where you are guaranteed to get soaked. What seperates this ride from the rest of its kind, are the drops during the ride that adds a fun twist to it. Though Grizzly peak looks impressive from the outside, while on the ride there really isn't much to look at. I wished they could've added something to look at and hear instead of just a bear growling, they could have at least added an animatronic bear. Anyway, this is still a nice ride that forms long lines when temperatures are hot. I recommend wearing a poncho if you don't bring a spare change of clothes, because it would be very uncomfortable walking around the park with wet clothes for the rest of the day. - Manny Barron

This is the first rapid ride that contains a drop at the end for me. The scenary is excellent, and the waiting time isn't too bad either. Grizzly River Run is a family friendly, adventurers friendly ride, and also a must of California Adventrue. - Jeremy Hu

Super fun! I got completly soaked, while everyone else in my raft was only a little wet. That always happens to me, but whatever it was fun! That geyser thing at the end freaked me out, I was sure it was going to go off and get us all even more wet, but it went off right after we passed and got the raft behind us. Ha ha! - Chloe !

In my dreams, Disney would bring back the Country Bear characters, give 'em run of this place and let them transform this rather ho-hum attraction in a full-blown musical adventure. Sigh. - Robert Niles

Good ride, but remember to go on it at the end of the day, as you will get soaked! - Jennifer Sharpe

Great ride! Do not go on a cold day unless your going to go straight home! - M Black
