    I was really looking forward to this. Still a great attraction even with its age. I mean come on, its Universal’s thrilling iteration of Splash Mountain. Great theming and even better thrills. Great insight and video as always. Nothing better than IOA footage from opening year. Also thanks to Jack for explaining the actual ride story that we never pay attention to because we’re too busy trying to not get wet and bracing for the plunge.

      The drop is definitely more intense and the ride soaks you way more than Splash ever could. I just wish the theming was a little more consistent throughout. And when this ride is in bad shape, it’s hard to overlook it. It’s still one of my favorites, although I prefer Popeye and Bluto just a little bit.

    Splash Mountain is my favourite Disney ride, I absolutely adore it and the main reasons being it's mood created through the story and real physical elements of animatronics used.
    I think that's one of the reasons why I loved RipSaw Falls so much. Though I've only ever visited Islands of Adventure once, it was a standout moment.

    I was kind of expecting more actual history in the video. One thing that's noticeable is that the current iteration of the ride has lap restraints, but you can see in promotional footage from the park's opening that the original ride didn't have any. This is how I remember riding it in the early 2000s - I was so terrified of flying out of the ride as 90 pound kid and the only thing really wedging me into my seat was being sandwiched between my parents.

    That 10-to-5 log split would have been such a cool touch!! Would have given two parties the opportunity to briefly mingle before "see ya later"!
    This wasn't the only part of DDR's Ripsaw Falls affected by budget cuts. One of the designers mentioned on Season Pass podcast that there were huge cuts to the props/gags in the dark-ride portions, to the point where some of the rooms felt like empty warehouses compared to their intentions, and the ride's designers generally considered it a failure.
    It's a real shame that money got in the way, because I agree with those designers that while the ride system is pretty thrilling, the whole experience feels a bit empty and flat compared to Splash Mountain, or even to its neighbor Bilge-Rat Barges.

    See, this is a good video. But the history of Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure would be great

    I very recently finally got to ride this ride at Universal Islands of Adventure and I have to say, it was a TON of fun to ride and I'm sure it was a world class water ride back in 1999 when it first opened and is easily the best water rides I have ever ridden for sure.

    Is it possible to do the history of Sindbad's Storybook Voyage at Tokyo DisneySea? It's probably one of the most underrated Disney attractions out there and one of my favorites.

    Best log flume ride theming wise with splash mountain and has a very good layout. One of the best water ride queues as well! How steep was the original drop btw? We’re very lucky this ride exist cause I just love the fibe and theme it has!

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The original drop started at 45 degrees then descended to 50 as riders went down. To be honest I'm surprised there isn't more themed log flume attractions at parks, I can only think of 4: Do-Right/Splash Mountain/Jurassic Park/Journey To Atlantis.

    • @SnarkyPosters
      @SnarkyPosters 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've only been on it once shortly after it opened, but it felt very intense due to the smaller sized ride vehicles compared to both the Splash Mountain versions.

    • @Brandon-qd2lb
      @Brandon-qd2lb 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Theme Park History I think it’s just the shear size and cost of these High themed water rides. Theme parks don’t like building new water rides anymore or don’t have the space for it. Plus most parks have an old log flume ride so they don’t want to redo it.

    I went on this ride for the first time this past November and I honestly had no idea how soaked you would get on the ride and me and my two friends were soaked when we got off and ended up going on it again because we loved it so much! I do prefer splash mountain but when it comes to how wet you can get this ride blows it out of the water!

    My mom loved this show as a kid. When Teletoon retro began (I’m Canadian eh?), we would always make sure to watch it together when it was on. When we went to Universal about 10 years ago, I was so excited that Dudley Doright got his own ride

    Disney owns the video distribution rights but Universal owns the theme park rights?
    Whelp.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's how it was for a while until Ward Productions was purchased by Dreamworks Animation, so technically Rocky and Bullwinkle is now owned by Universal.
