Great ride, and the final drop is so much more exciting than Splash Mountain. OK the theming is sketchy, but I think that matches the nature of the original cartoons (which I have never seen). Some of the jokes always make me laugh. The restraints can make it very difficult to enter and leave the logs. Back and front seats are worst. If you are large and/or claustrophobic examine the test seats before riding. I did see one disabled person unable to get out, I think they had to summon help to get him out. Make sure the lapbar comes below your ribs. Sometimes that's very difficult, it's poorly designed. I didn't, the log stopped violently without warning, I was thrown forward and may have cracked a rib. Be aware of the risk, and I still ride it. But I now avoid the back seat, where space for the lapbar is too limited. - Martin Rees I love this ride love the theme and the fall its my favorite in the world. - Giovanny Cruz This has quickly become one of my personal favorite water rides in orlando. The theming and story are minimalist. Pretty much, Snidely has once again kidnapped Nel and escaped out of one of his and Dudley's films. Now it's up to us as honorary mounties to assist Dudley on his quest to save Nel. The whole ride is pretty clever and tons of silly fun, succeeding in getting riders the perfect amount of wet. I always make sure to ride this baby at least once, the final drop is to die for. Expect to come off giggling like a schoolgirl. 7/10 - Dan Huffman Always a long line for this ride, normally at it's highest during the afternoon when people are looking for a cool down, and they are not disappointed! The theming for this ride is ok but "could do better" is the phrase I would use. The main drop is pretty unique as it's split into two parts. Will always ride this when visiting IOA. 9/10 - Ben Price A really good ride but the ride does sometimes have a long time in peak season it was around 90 minutes but this changes constantly throughout the day the ride is extremely fun and the theming is excellent - Jack Ainslie It's a fun log ride! Nothing extreme and at least you don't get completely soaked! I also notice that this ride is always closed early in the morning! Don't wait long for this though...queue dies down after a while. 7/10 - D H One of the most overlooked attractions in Orlando. Because of all of the high-tech rides and high-speed rollercoasters that fill the numerous parks in Florida, the water rides and "gentler" rides seem to get little mention. Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls, is the best water ride in Florida, without a doubt. Incredibly fun, entertaining and it doesn't matter where you sit...you will get SOAKED (but that's part of the fun, right?) 9/10, incredible, an absolute must (even on a rainy day) - Michael Hayford The best log flume ride I've ever been on. Everyone in our boat laughed the whole way through. It was so much fun! My husband hates water rides and even he absolutely loved in. - Heather Olson Doesn't quite tell the story that Splash Mountain does, but the thrill of the drops (especially the last one) makes up for it. 9/10 - Josh Denson This ride is asome I love the train part the explosive ending and the mine the only thing is the time I rode there was school kids I'm home schools not my cup o tea and the que it, has really tight spaces other than that I love it - Manny Rodriguez Great ride. I hate getting soaked on water rides (I know, duh! they're water rides!) but this one has such great theming it's worth it! - Terri Pierce This ride specifically wins a 9 in the log flume category. Ive always seen it as the underdog winner to Disney's Splash Mountain. It's an amusing theme and there are quite a few drops that catch you by surprise. Not short on the splashes and wet zones. There is no possibility of sitting in the back and getting just a few drops, you will surely get soaked on Dudley Do-Rights. Don't miss this attraction when you visit Islands of Adventure because it's probably one of the few thrilling water rides out there. - Jose Vazquez Great ride short line times and a great wet fall at the end!!!!!! - chris cona At one point I saw what can best be described as a fist of water coming at my jaw, and there was no ducking the punch. - Marc Ricketts More attraction and restaurant ratings:
