About Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls

Warning! You WILL get wet! The Ripsaw Falls is an excellent ride with lots of dips, drops, and things to laugh at! One of the best rides at Islands of Adventure. -- Last edited by Brittney Murphy

Had a really fun time on this ride, the line was fun and I thought it was cool how the begining was in black and white like the old cartoons. Dudley going up the lift hill along side the log is a neat touch. - Nathaniel Gillespie

Great way to end a day at the Park...you will get very, very wet! Ends with a great drop. - Christian Baggett

Is this the best flume ride in the world? Bonus is that queue times are rarely long as well. - Mark Moore

This is my absolute favorite ride of the whole park. It is more fun though if your with a group of friends, and is a huge treat for first time riders. It contains 3 drops. One medium sized drop in total darkness, one small drop, and the final drop which is I beleive 75 feet. As the person commenting below said, its much steeper than Jurrassic Park or so it feels that way, and is a much better attraction than the latter. It is a really short ride, but also if you dont like to get really wet, dont ride this. It will get you soaked, not as much as Popeye, but close. The reason for this is because even though it has the same track design as Splash Mountain, then trains are lower in height allowing more water to enter the trains whereas in Splash mountain the train doors are high enough to contain the splash. This is a must ride - Chris Shafer

even though the drop is shorter than the drop on jurassic park river adventure, it seems much steeper and more thrilling. although the ride is pretty uncomfortable for those with long legs, once the drop occurs, you forget all about it and want to ride it over and over again. and you will get SOAKED, not just wet. - liz corso

A great flume ride but the logs are a tad skinny and are hard to get in and out of. The drop (like JPRA) is worth the ride. You will get soaked and overall a very cool ride. 6/10 - Noel Blackman

Second best log flume ride excellent drop and I love the train part - Nicholas Kalscheuer

This ride is better than Splash Mountain at Disney because of the ride itself. SM has slightly better attention to theme details but SM does not compare with the water drop on this baby. Prepare to get WET. - jim mclaughlin

This is a very good flume style ride, but I wouldn't say it's better than Splash Mountain. The story and theming of Splash Mountain is a bit better and is more constant. There are simply dark rooms as a part of this with nothing in them. Excellent drop at the end though. - Carl Stovall

best log flume ride in the world in my opinion im going to wind up some disney fans but better than splash mountain, although SM is also a very good log ride - Rob Chandler

9/10. Favorite Log Flume. And I've been on a quite a few. - Nicholas Gammon

This is a great ride with the best drop ever. I love this ride. It can be a little uncomfortable but well worth it in opinion. - Melissa Faulkner
