Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls is a
fast-moving flume ride that propels
riders in logs that five people through
the cartoon world of Dudley Do-Right,
Nell, Snidely Whiplash, and company. The
typical story of Snidely capturing Nell
with the heroic Mountie attempting to
save her unfolds throughout the ride
thanks to a host of figures,
animatronics, and props. Of course,
Dudley Do-Right luckily manages to
somehow save Nell but not before sending
the log full of passengers down a
heart-stopping 75-foot drop, leaving
everything and everybody completely
soaked. |

“Horse, I can barely see!”
“I say, you’re going the wrong way!”
“A mountie always gets his man! But not,
always, his girl.”
