One terrific log flume. Fine theming (if you can dig the shameless, rimshot-inducing gags of the Dudley-DoRight... and, somewhat pathetically, I surely can  ) and superb execution. Theres a few surprising twists + minor dips on the big climb, then a huge drop, which actually gets a lil bit steeper halfway down. Certain to get you wet - and isnt that the point? Inevitably invites comparisons with Splash Mountain at Disney World... Personally I thought SM had a bit better theming, but Ripsaw Falls has a better drop, and in either case theyre both really good. Note also that this has the second longest lines at IoA (after Spidey), I guess because the coasters scare some people. [brief update: while the lines are long for Ripsaw Falls, presumably because it looks less scary than Hulk or DD, I think the drop here may be bigger than the roller coasters...]
