GigaG Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I really don't know, but I love Shoot the Rapids at Cedar Point. Thunder Canyon is OK, but it is too short and is missing the water cannons that other water rides have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 For one, I really enjoyed Coal Cracker at Hersheypark. Great scenery (including unusually close interaction with coasters), interesting layout, and surprise airtime at the end of the drop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someotherguyuser Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My favorite water ride would be Jurassic Park at USH. It's a great adventure with lots of great scenery, effects, and an awesome drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaminkid2005 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I Love Blizzard River at Six Flags New England! As long as the waterfalls are on, your going to get soaked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmshimfe Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Splash Mountain at WDW and then Jurassic Park at IOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galindoverhere Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mines WAS Log Jammer at SFMM.. until the disappointing removal so now it's a tie between Splash Mountain at DL or Roarin' Rapids at SFMM.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Was Log Jammer, RIP, but now I'd have to say either the log ride at KBF, I'm having a mind blank right now , or Grizzly River Rapids at California Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E1ticket5 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I liked Log Jammer (RIP) when it was open. Jet Stream is OK, but it's not the same. I have to say that my favorite Water ride is probably either JTA at SWSD or Pirates of the Carribean at DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deguy123 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 For one, I really enjoyed Coal Cracker at Hersheypark. Great scenery (including unusually close interaction with coasters), interesting layout, and surprise airtime at the end of the drop! I agree, the airtime is definitely something most don't have anymore. Hershey had two of my favorites but they took out of the best rapids rides out there. Still can't believe it was replaced by a wave pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwoods244 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 What is the longest River Rapids and Log Flume ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Cordalis Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 My opinion: River Quest at Phantasialand, Germany. This is probably one of the most insane water rides. I mean, Valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is great, but River Quest is unique. It's like a River Raft, but instead of developing it on the ground - due to space limitations - they built it vertical. Just the 'first drop' is 11 meters (about 36 feet) high - in a twisting rafting boat without any restraining devices! I've seen grown-up men taking off their soaked pants in public afterwards, queueing up in front of the dryer and swearing all the time... I guess, that's the funniest water ride I know so far.

slappybob Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I think the best water ride is mountain slidewinder at Dollywood and Splash Mountain the Magic Kingdom !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighRoller Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 One more great log flume, and my favorite of the genre (outside of Disney/Universal, natch) is Paul Bunyan's Log Chute. Picks up on the Knotts vibe for the MN crowd. And, oh yeah, year round accessible but doesn't leave you wanting to go home rather than continue to explore the mall.

Montu Maniac Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges ...... That's my number one !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Splash Mountain/Ripsaw Falls/ Popeye are all pretty high in my book although I rank the log fumes higher because I don't always like to get completely soaked on water rides, kidna ruins your day sometime. Some other favorites of mine are Dare Devil Falls and Mountain Slidewinder at Dollywood, Frightful Falls at Holiday World because of that long dark weird tunnel at the beginning, and Dive To Atlantis at Mt. Olympus because even though it sucks really bad it's a credit that I have you probably don't ! Also a shout out to awesome water rides that have been removed, White Water Landing at Cedar Point might have been one of the best traditional log flume rides anywhere and I always love the Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal at Kings Island. The Keelboats were a little different than most log flumes but had a great drop, loved that ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Favorite Water coaster: Poseidon at Europa park. Favorite Flume: Crazy River at Walibi Holland. Wasn't that great until I did it backwards love the big fall then. Favorite Rapid: River Quest at Phantasialand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Splash Mountain at WDW is by far #1 with Vahalla at BPPB #2 and Journey To Atlantis when the effects used to work at SWO #3. I'm surprised to see so many people list Ripsaw Falls as #1! I always found it painful with gross and moldy water and logs and effects which rarely work.... have I just had bad luck?
