Thrill Factor: 4/10 Age Suitable Range: 4+ years Theming: 6/10 Ride length to average queue time ratio: 9/10 Worth fast tracking: Yes Family friendly and the perfect way to cool down on a hot summers day. Watch out for the water cannons at the sides as other park guests get the opportunity to spray you with even more water! If no one shoots you with water then this ride will keep you relatively dry. All reviews are given as a personal opinion and do not give as factual representation of ride facts or statistics.

Fun ride for the family (90cm min height). The young ones enjoyed the ride a lot but it was hard entertaining them in long queue. The greater the number of people in the raft (ie more weight)the greater the splashes and fun. Due to current restrictions only people from the same group could go on the same raft, this made queueing time longer which is understandable.

One of the oldest rides at Alton Towers still with us (RIP Cockscrew/Black Hole, Flume and Ripsaw) but.. the River Rapids are great family ride, not always a 'soaking' ride (for that get the Battle Galleons) but that teasing risk of will I or won't I.. Miss the waterfalls and remember when that 4x4 first went in...

I appreciate that there was a tragic accident on another similar ride at another theme park, but it is frankly painful being told every 30 seconds to stay seated as an adult, raft full of teenagers possibly but even then the ride is well supervised, so not sure even then it needs to be played that much.

I'm sure they could manage it differently.

Also, the point of these rides is to get wet. Very few did. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks, but I'm sure in the past you...

Interesting. The reason why i have gave it three stars is because of the queue. I bet you every one will be talking about the queues but, to be honest the rapids was not worth the queue.

The main reason why i wanted to go on the rapids was to get wet because that is the main reason. I got wet a bit.

However, it was fun!

In this case, i am not sure if you should come or not. Your choice.

Hope you have fun at...
