Tonights battle:
In this corner, hailing from the Magic Kingdom, based off the movie "Song of the South", SPLASH MOUNTAIN!
and in the opposite corner, hailing from Toon Lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventures, Dudley Do-Rights Rip Saw Falls!
The categories are THEME, STORYLINE, and THRILLS
THEME: on a scale of 1-10, I give Splash a 10 and Dudley a 5.
Yes I said 5. Despite the brilliant outdoor section (the "hideout", Mount Dudley, or whatever its called, the Dynamite Shack), the entire indoor and outdoor ride sections seem like they are unfinished or entirely ugly. In Splash, every foot of log trough is covered to look like the rest of the mountain. The animatronics are much more sophisticated than Dudley. Dudley looks like the ride where they ran out of money to finish it.
STORYLINE: Splash: 10 Dudley: 5
Dudley Do-Right's faithfully follows his daily misadventures on the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" show, but the storyline is not 100% clear. Dudley seems to jump from location to location. He's on his horse, now hes in a cave, now he's in a boat over a river, now he's in the ground. I know that every character in an attraction jumps, and the riders take the place of the character, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
You're in a cave, and then hit by a train, and then we see Dudley hanging above us, stuck in a log. I can decipher Fantasmic, but I can't decipher this ride.
Second: The transition from the "theater" to the rest of the ride is a little rough.. I like the critters making the noises, but it doesn't have anything to do with the ride.
THRILLS: Dudley 10 Splash 10
Dudley finally catches up, mainly due to the fact that its ride features a more exciting final drop, complete with a fall into a dynamite shack, and you get extremely wetter than Splash. The designers clearly made it so the logs were not "toned down" in any way.
So, the winner is SPlash with a score of 30, and Dudley with a score of 20.
