Jurassic Park River Adventure vs Splash Mountain

River Adventure is the better one

Better boats
More thrilling climax
Superior audio animatronics
Cleaner water(or at least less odors)



Splash beats it on architecture of main facade and queue

Well, Jurassic Park isn't closing, so I'll go with that one.

Splash. This will always and forever remain in my mind as one of the top attractions Disney had at its parks. Shame on you Disney for taking this away from us. This loss is more painful than Toads.

Ride them both next week and decide.

Is the OP asking about, Splash when it first opened or the, soon to be closed, run down version?

Exactly. At it's peak splash wins hands down. But this current rundown version that is just a hint of what it once was, would be beat by Jurassic Park for sure.

Theyre both entertaining in their own right.

Assuming we’re looking at both rides at their peak, it’s gotta be Splash.

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time, but Splash is just a masterpiece. Loaded with animatronics, earworm songs, and it’s just such a fun ride. I’m fairly confident I’ll prefer JP over Tiana because I really don’t care for the Disney Princess brand or the rides placement in Frontierland.

Depends on what you are looking for. Jurassic gets you wetter, but also gives you more of a jolt when you make the big drop. Splash is really just a log ride with a pretty facade. For little kids Splash is probably better for older folks its Jurassic.

I always say that I’d really love to ride a complete ride of the first part of JPRA - an actual ride showing you Dinos and talking about them without the “something goes wrong” and danger plot.

This is why Triceratops Encounter as a walk through attraction along with bits of Discovery Center when it was at its fullest really completed the Zoological Dino park illusion. More of that was lost when they could not keep it going.

That queue was really something special!

Splash Mountain

The poll reads what IS the better ride. Splash mountain is surrounded by construction walls. An attraction which is running is virtually always better then an attraction which is permanently closed.....

 

[Andrew25]

If JPRA was actually well maintained and enhanced, it would be the better attraction. But Splash, even with its horrendous upkeep, is the better attraction.

I find the songs on Splash Mountain much more enjoyable to sing along with... then again, every time I'm on River Adventure...
