ripsaw falls?

[space*mt*ranger]

do you actually go under water?

 

[markymark]

You don't ctually go under water as in being submerged, when you go down the main drop, you hit the bottom , but unlike Splash Mountain, there is water pouring at you from the sides and I mean pouring! So basically there is no way to stay dry.

 

[woofboy111]

You do go under the water level, but though a tunnel that pours water on you like MarkyMark said.

On Splash Mountain, they shoot water at you rather then pour it. If the shooting water doesn't get you. The waterfall on the right side will.

Thats why I always sit on the left side!!!

I have not been to IOA yet, but a friend of mine said the other water ride they have there will soak you. I think the ride is like the one at AK, don't know what it's called.

I forgot that the JP ride was a water ride. How good do the dinosaurs look compared to Disney's ride?

I think its a tough call on that one. Disney Dionsaurs looks great and so does IOA. IOA have some wear and tear on them but nothing major. but there mostly in the water and get messed up easier. There t rex and the spitters are great and IOA. U need to go to that park. have u been to universal studios?

 

[<SRH>]

Yes, I have been to Universal Studios like 4 or 5 times for Halloween Horror Nights, and 1 time during the day. HHN is great, a totally different experience being that it is a more party like atmosphere, haunted houses, the park is dark, also it stays open later. I recommend it. That is an event which Universal does well, like how Epcot does the Food & Wine event for example. I will go to IOA, but I may wait till cooler weather. I don't know why but Universal's parks seem real hot in summertime.

Wait...You're saying you get wetter on Ripsaw falls? I've never had that experience. On popeye, you can't not get soaked, unlike ripsaw, where you might get a little wet.

well its been the totally opposite for me!

 

[markymark]

Yeah me too. I have always come off Ripsaw Falls absolutely soaked to the skin. When we rode the Barges, I got pretty wet, but some people on our barge weren't too bad.

 

[woofboy111]

Maybe they didn't have all of the fountains working when you went, because usually, unlike Kali River Rapids, no one gets off Popeye even slightly dry.

 

[The Mom]

They both get me too wet! Just a note to parents, the height requirement for Bluto Barge is "taller" than Kali River Rapids. My son was very upset when he couldn't ride, after riding Kali on more than one previous trip.

Yes, the one and only time I went on that ride everyone in the boat got completely soaked. Just in case you didn't get wet enough by chance they shot you with water several times. I thought it was almost obnoxious… Glad I took off my shoes before the ride started….

I give Universal a little leeway for the dinos outside though it shouldn't really be an excuse since they planned it that way. The t-rex at the end, to me is a major disappointment. Maybe most people don't get a good look at him since you are starting the drop at that point but his neck looks like tarp material rather than the 'rubber' used for everything else and the area along the inside of the back of his open mouth looks like smooth latex or something similar…
