  • [4K] Excalibur - "Secret of the Dark Forest" River Rapid Ride is one of the best themed river rapids rides we have been on yet. This rapids ride also has a dark ride portion to it. You can find this awesome raft rapids ride at Movie Park Germany.
    So do you guys like this river rapids ride? or do you prefer the Disney's rapids ride like Grizzly River Runs at Disney California Adventure or Kali River Rapids over at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World Florida? Leave your favorite in the comment below

    I gotta' tell ya': That splash hit the mic and - if you're listening with stereo headphones - it made the rest of the ride sound like I had water in my right ear...and I liked it. Added to the realism!

      It's not even that huge actually - it's a Regular one for germany. But maybe in Germany we are a bit spoiled because we know bigger and better parks like Europapark and so on 😅 The are not as much rides as in other parks. And a lot rides are for small kids like a whole area themed with paw patrol and an Area with nickelodeon figures. The only rides which are really good and worth a visit when your older than 16 ist the shown ride Excalibur and then we have Area 51, the New coaster "Studio Tour" and the coaster which is StarTrek themed (and a smaller coaster with has spongebob theme in nickland - your Never to old for having some spongebob fun 😅)
