Stanley Falls Flume at Busch Gardens Africa

[woodencoasterfan]

@TechnologyMAN1245 It's just something I prefer not to do while I film on ride.

[woodencoasterfan]

@MrMorganOBrien No, not that I remember and I've been coming here since I was a kid. It would've been nice to have that added to it.

[MrMorganOBrien]

I'm confused. Didn't there used to be a drop on this ride that went down AND up again, (like the one in the dark on Splash Mountain?)

[woodencoasterfan]

@SaraeStrange Well since I'm not a fan of getting absolutely soaked I'd have to say the Stanley Falls Flume. I still ride the Congo River Rapids every once in a while, but only in the warmer months.

[SaraeStrange]

What is your favorite water ride at busch gardens?

[customplastic]

it so cool

[BoominforChrist]

used to go here almost every weekend when i lived there

[Ferrarilive989]

I've been to a higher one than this and when I got in the drop I felt like I was in air for a split second.

[pixel8ed100]

[mimilittle1]

[kupkupkupo]

Po wo I ka j

[kittyisabella]

i been on that ride man the line was sooooo long!!!

[2010piday]

Do any of you know WHY this is called Stanley Falls? Stanley mapped out the Congo of Africa so Leopold II of Belgium could exploit the region for its rubber, ivory and slaves. More than 10 million were killed in 20 yrs. I don't think I'd be proud to name something after Stanley.

I love busch gardens so much i made a real song that i might put on itunes... wanna hear it?

[joegirl123456]

We waitedin line for 2 hrs to get on it -_______________- we were on a field trip for 8hrs there WAS NOT WORTH 2HR WAIT

[ryanneb2010]

me and my grandpa used to always ride this =)

[dittleesierra]

its covered with signs thats say "dont splash" but my friend and i are such rebels... we splashed

[SuperDave61164]

Where was the Anti-Rollback device?

[woodencoasterfan]

@SuperDave61164 They're on the sides of the lifts.

[AandRbbs]

iv went there on the 24Th of October its awesome by the way im English

[BEAGLE1226]

wouldnt it be better if u could ride on the flume not on a boat?

like a waterslide?

[BEAGLE1226]

the splash on the tidal wave is better, but the first few minutes of the flume are better

[Scioneer]

Come to think of it, It does look like a larger version of the Flume that was at Miracle Strip. The Logs are identical.

[tysonilove]

How did u not scream on that very last n hill? Its so big

[woodencoasterfan]

@tysonilove Well, I've been on it many times and I was also filming the ride as well.

[tysonilove]

@woodencoasterfan oh?

[TechnologyMAN1245]

@woodencoasterfan why can't you scream when your'e filming a ride, we scream when we film rides

[JacKu1100]

@tysonilove if u think tht is big u should go on Journey To Atlantis at Sea World or Jurassic Park at Islands Of Adventure

[MrGreenSting]

@tysonilove welll...its not big

[acmilanowns]

[tysonilove]

[acmilanowns]

[jumblyman]

[xRenna19x]

I'm going on this when I go on June 3rd! ♥

[angelteddy12]

do they take u a picture on this ride? because i could have sworn i saw a flash in the beggining.

[woodencoasterfan]

Yes they do, the camera is on the final drop.

[onekidonedream]

@angelteddy12 Yuupp :)

[newbreakingtwilight]

with all do respect the first ride at busch gardens was python which was a corkscrew ride and was torn down in 2006.

[boogieoogie10]

@newbreakingtwilight yes it was because during hurricane katrina i went there to busch gardens. Last summer was I think my 4th time to visit. It may be small but it brings a lot of thrills

[newbreakingtwilight]

@boogieoogie10 thanks for being nice while explaining it to me now i get it and im goin to busch gardens this summer

[boogieoogie10]

@newbreakingtwilight im kinda confused...what'd i explain exactly?

[singsingsing22]

you spelled "sure" wrong

[woodencoasterfan]

Thanks, I've corrected the error. I hope you enjoyed the video :)

[1SANTISTA1]

I love Busch gardens

[LULUluvsEMOS]

tidal wave is way betta in my point of view but u take sooo long gettin up on tidal wave !! worth it though!!

[azrial4421]

OMG! they got spanish on that fuker now, very sad

[moony461]

go on a warm winter day you literaly

go strait on

[olympiangirl]

I dont like this ride cuz it feels like ur gunna fall out when u go down

[ChuckyLoverVids]

i dont have enough patience for this ride lol

it was good but i was dissapointed when i only got a little wet

nowadays i stick to CRR and tidal wave:)

[woodencoasterfan]

I know what you're saying. The line usually is an hour long and during the tourist season, it can get as long as two hours. I only go on it it there's less than a 30 min wait which usually towards the end of the day during the non tourist season.

[jman1948]

go during the winter months. This ride will have a 5 minute wait but it still will be 75 degrees outside.

[CaitlynCareBear]

It's an awesome ride, but it's really long...and I only got half of my body wet =/ Lol.

[19emma96]

this is a fun ride

i qued 1 hour for it

but it was a really good laugh x

[skatergod3]

an hour for that ride..for a bush gardens ride it is very very poo... compared the the roller coasters that would give universal and disney a run for there money... bush gardens cant compete with them with the log flume rides from the looks of this video

[woodencoasterfan]

Keep in mind this ride was one of the first rides built at BGA and it's 20 plus years old and was built at a time when BG was very small. Also, the log flumes at WDW, Sea World Orlando, and Universal Studios Florida are al less than 15 years old and have a much higher rider capacity per boat. SM at WDW's MK and JTA at SWO can seat 6 adults per boat and all three parks can load two or three boats at once where as BGA can only load one or two at a time. Just remember, this one's a pretty old ride.

[IWIN3]

Nice POV!

awesome waterride

[woodencoasterfan]

Thanks, it is a fun ride and as always it's a very popular ride. During the summe, the wait can get as long as an hour which is pretty good for a ride that's well over 20 years old.
