I love that ride!!! Its just the best at IoA - well at least after Spiderman. I wonder if the final drop could be any more steep or if you could get any more wet!:jump: :jump: :jump:

This is a SERIOUS log flume.

Do not under estimate it!!! LOL

It used to be a very intense drop with a heck of a buzz!!! Wonder how they have changed it

The Ripsaw falls reopened in March. The drop is bigger. Same distance but at a different drop.

Great ride, I went on it with my son affter a shower of rain one night late on, got straight on to it.
We got soaked, not because of the water you are floating in but the hose pipe you go under in the boat.

I did the log flume at Universal Salou and I think thats worse

We went on it last week and the last drop is still utterly brilliant :erm: One thing though - you get soaked, and I mean really soaked, much more than I remember.
A must do ride.

:D :D I love this ride! I have only been on it once the wait was 90 mins! my friend who is rather tall got stuck in the front seat and couldn't get out so he nearly ended up going round again!:stupid:

me and my dad went on this last year, we got to the top of the drop and it broke down, apparently someone tried to climb out of their boat at the top of the drop. So i never actually got to ride it.
