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.

Though there's almost no story that last drop is wicked. - Jeff Moon

Beautiful facade. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls tells a generic story about a damsel in distress, but with a lot of humor along the way. The final drop is amazing. My only gripe is that some show scenes or tunnels look incomplete and rushed. - Bryce McGibeny

Another great ride at IOA, Splash Mountain is better themed but this one have a better final drop. Love it. - David Shaul

This brought back so many great memories of watching Dudley Do-Right and Rocky and Bullwinkle reruns on Saturday mornings as a kid. Great theming, a nice long ride with a great buildup, and a really nice double-plunge at the end. Love the "curtain of water" set-up on the way back up the hill... - Jonah Sirota

Outstanding flume ride. Exciting, funny, adventurous and wet wet wet. The Dudley Do Right theming is a howl. We love this attraction and ride it numerous times along with Jurassic Park River Adventures and Popeye/Blutos Bilge Rat Barges, the trifecta of theme park water rides. - Rob Pastor

This is my favorite ride in the park! The theme is pretty good and contains some very funny props and story telling. The drops are incredible, especially the last drop. You also get some great views of the wizarding world and some of the roller coasters in the parks. 10/10 - Alex Johnson

Weak story and some janky theming, but the final drop is one of the best ever for a flume. - Josh Pearson

I wasn't able to give it a below average review because I've never actually ridden it. From the outside it looks like a blast and i'm sure it is. I've waited in line for this ride three times and every time I do...the ride gets shut down due to rain. But i will make it a goal to ride this ride! - Michelle Kowalski

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
