 Review of Daredevil Falls @ Dollywood
1 Rating Posted by: Axman on 9/10/2004 9:22:00 PM
A relatively under-par log flume. The ride is one huge design flaw! The boats are not properly designed for the track. Every time there was a a curve in the track, we would crash right into it! The rest of the ride was O.K. The chain lift is great because the ride can now clumb to the top at a fast and safe pace. The drop was a lot of fun and wo didnt get too wet. Overall the ride was on par with other log flumes but this was by far the bumpiest one I had ever been on.

I think the wettest part of Daredevil Falls is when the boat slides off the lift hill at the buzzsaw.

Its still a fun ride, and one of only 2 Hopkins Superflumes ever built. The problem is some people complain you dont get wet enough, but these same people wouldnt evan ride Daredevil Falls if it had been a more standard Intamin Shoot-the-Shoot because they would get too wet.

The other Hopkins Superflume is Bugs Bunnys Whitewater Rapids at Fiesta Texas. Splash Mountain and DDF have several similarities, it kind of makes you wonder if Hopkins might have built the flume sections of that ride for Disney.

I wouldnt Suprized if they did. I bet there is a possibility that hopkins built the BOATS for Splash, but I wouldnt concider it a fact. Yno, it a shame that hopkins stopped building coasters, Desert Storm @ Castles N Coasters was built by hopkins. I love that ride and it was my first up-side-down coaster, too. I rode it for the first time when I was 4 yrs. old and ive been abselutely hooked on looping coasters since. I rode it again, 7 years later and it hadnt changed much. It looked the same and the ride was just as good as I rembered. I hope to ride it again someday.

Doesnt every log flume when it approaches a turn it bumps and crashes into the sides? Everyone ive been on did it. Exept for Splash Mountain in Orlando.

Splash Mountain doesnt bump because its guided by smaller rails that are under, or just barely above the water. Well at least in some sections they are.

Most log flumes dont bump because they have cushon wheels on the side.
