| Wild West Falls Adventure ride - The biggest and the best. The best themed ride you'll ever see. This 6-min ride features heaps of special effects, a backwards drop, 2 turntables, and a 20m splash down. The ride starts off with quite a bang. While most flume rides have a short drop at the start, of the ride, the short drop on Wild West Falls is very thrilling. The reason for this is that the drop is taken backwards. After dropping down 9 meters, you go up a small incline, and drop down into a pool of water. The result is quite some quite healthy negative gs as you drop into the water. After you've got over the backwards drop, you find yourself in the middle of geyser country, and make your way through the wild west, past ghost towns, Indian reservations, and other surprises, until you eventually reach the base of a huge mountain, which is home to Rio Bravo mining, and you going up the mine shaft. As you go up the shaft, it becomes clear that the mine is going to blow, and everyone must get out of there. When you eventually reach the top, the mine blows, and your sent straight out the door down the 20m chute, where you receive an absolute drenching (but not before getting your photo taken by a camera mounted about half way down the hill. This is one of the best flume rides out there, and if you�re in Spain, also check out the only other version at this ride at Movieworld in Madrid.
