Jurassic Park River Adventure Drop

[Mickey1]

How is the final drop? Does it look worse than it is? How is it compared to Splash Mountain? Thanks!

Hi Mickey1!

The drop is 85 feet, and is over very quickly...tho I found you don't really get a 'feel' of the height as you do with Splash, since you get the park view in splash as you start the descent which, to me, makes it seem possibly a little higher. As I said, it is over very quickly, and of the times I have been on it, I have not got that wet (maybe I have just been 'unlucky'!!)

If you want to check a little video of the ride, and a bit of the drop (spoilers ahead me hearties!), have a look at this:

Hope this helps...it's a fun ride and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

My sister is the same....wont go on any coasters, and splash is the highest drop she will go on! It wasn't until last year that she plucked up the courage to go on ToT, then found she loved it, and went on it twice more!!

Now all I have to do is get her on Duelling Dragons!! lol

And will be the one in the pictures holding on to my DH arm for dear life!!! 3 more weeks to go!!
