The Fury of the Nile is a nicely themed white water attraction. It is especially fun in the dark, as the limited lighting makes for an eerie trip. I do wish, however, that the cheap water thrills (the water that is dumped on you in the final tunnel) were removed, and stronger rapids added. Riders should get wet (or not wet) due to the action of the raft in the rapids, not because someone turns on the shower at the end. - James Rao

This ride has aged and hasn't really been maintained. It used to be a great raft ride, but now features appear to be out of operation. It's still a fun ride, but not what it used to be. - Kelly Comstock

Not a bad River Rapids ride. I wish there was some better theming involved. The random black lights in the tunnel show a lack of creativity, and the only thing that reminds you that you're on the "Nile" is the Egyptian facade...at the lift hill to the station. 6/10 - Blake Nieman

It was 65 degrees tops when I rode and I got soaked, so this may be a biased review. It was an ok ride, and the moving table was interesting, but there was nothing to write home about. They did seem to have some theming after the tunnel. I also assume there was some sort of theming in the tunnel, but I couldn’t really tell. I did not enjoy the water falling off the roof the tunnel on a cold 65 degree day. It would be nice on a hot day, but not when I went (it’s also kind of lame that they need a waterfall to soak the riders- that’s what the rapids are for). 6/10 - Jake Jones

This ride only functions half the time... So ride it and hope for the best but don't say I didn't warn you. - Dakotta Hagar
