"Our hero once again proves that a Mountie always gets his man, but not always his girl."
This is the second best flume that Ive been on. It falls measurably short of Splash Mountain, despite the amazing final drop. The animatronics and gags are all great, but the whole ride doesnt gel like Splash Mountain does. Ripsaw uses Universals trademark smooth plastic animatronics, which are distinctive, but not as engaging as Disneys moving furry little creatures. And Ripsaw lacks the absurdly catchy songs of Splash Mountain. Call me cheesy, but I really get into the music on Splash Mountain.
This ride would be a 9, but I subtracted a point because some moron decided to install lap bars on this. Lap bars on a flume is one of the more retarded examples of corporate park restraint excess to come down the pipeline in recent times.
