[HD] FULL Roaring Rapids with SCARY Crocodile-like Beast - Shanghai Disneyland 2016

[HD] NEW! Come face to face with a Scary Q’aráq-a crocodile-like beast on the New Roaring Rapids ride at Shanghai Disneyland 2016. Video shot 6/17/2016 during Shanghai Disneyland Grand Opening Weekend
Roaring Rapids is located in Adventure Isle at Shanghai Disneyland.
If you guys have the chance to visit Shanghai in the future, definitely visit Shanghai Disneyland, it truly amazing to experience it live. A day ticket to the park is extremely affordable ranging from $55 to $75 per person depending on the day you go. Off-season will be cheaper at $55.
Disneyland Rapids ride.

[@Attractions360]

The ride inside the cave is TOTAL darkness! We actually use two cameras to film this. Once inside the cave you can see the transition of the video. Our camera is capable of seeing in low light more than the naked eyes can see.

[@pmmrfan9892]

SoCal Attractions 360 , So..........This IS or ISN'T in Southern California Disneyland?

[@kitsdollies2466]

it is not. it's at Shangai disneyland in china.

[@pmmrfan9892]

Meaghan Willis , Darn..........You guys ALWAYS get the better rides,lol!

[@valde100]

SoCal Attractions 360 hii . I like very much your videos , but i have a little cuestion.. what camara do you use ?? Its amazing..!!! Thanks

[@aizenandaldensuperheroes]

no

[@Mildnumber4444]

Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids had a baby?

[@thehauntedmansionfan3966]

CarRamrod omg your so right

[@MichiContreras]

CarRamrod yup!!

[@sarahwagoner960]

and the crocodile from peter pan was the step-father

[@gbird.]

Phil Furney and Grizzly River Run

[@gregoryjames1542]

They should just replace Kali River Rapids with this ride

[@BrideofLoki]

Honestly, the concept art made it look better than this, but this croc is definitely better than Disco Yeti. :)

[@elimkwok938]

*Disco yeti*

[@koi3554]

Disco yeti 🤭

[@saborevolutionarychief6458]

I believe I read in Epcot that the crocodile is based on a water guardian in Chinese mythology.

[@robertmorris2564]

I doubt they will ever fix Disco yeti, if they do I'll be surprised

[@CalicoJackal]

Still, it's got nothing on A mode Yeti.

[@tobiashoyden2644]

It's so weird seeing Disney properties with so little foliage. Once the trees grow larger it will seem more like a Disney property too me.

[@secomo2211]

I took this ride last week. It was way too dark to see things clearly in the cave. The Q’aráq looks much bigger, nearer and scarier than the clip. Really impressive and awesome the animatronic is.

[@lundopictures]

Pretty great for a raft ride. What it's missing, I think, is some music.

[@2doot]

This looks so fun! It's strange how there isn't a climax after the croc, though. Usually there's a drop or a thrill of such after encountering something like that in a Disney ride. The croc monster was still pretty cool though.

[@bomberguy06]

The only ride in the park that isn't based on a movie or franchise.

[@fourzones]

true

[@crystalmethany1312]

its called DISNEYland for a reason yo

[@ninarchiveinactive]

+hellaween shellaween Soarin Over The Horizon?

[@crystalmethany1312]

Legend 530 well epcot doesn't really fit in with what i said because until fucking FROZEN it was void of any character rides that didn't feed into the whole epcot theme...but then they had to destroy the maelstrom for that fucking abomination so I cant really make a case for it now

[@bomberguy06]

hellaween shellaween Agreed, but the Frozen Ever After ride isn't a bad thing. With all the money Disney makes I'm sure they could have opened up another park instead of change an older one. Same goes with Star Wars Land being shoehorned into Disneyland in Anaheim.

[@jdchaparro3699]

Seems like such a great ride however the final drop seems anticlimactic after the dinosaur encounter.

[@FireCracker3240]

I was thinking the same thing. And it's a shame you have to wait in a queue to get to the final drop.

[@jdchaparro3699]

+FireCracker3240 I'm sorry I'm not sure what your last sentence means.

[@Bartattackplays]

I think he's talking about the fact that the boats pile up before the final drop...

[@FireCracker3240]

Bart Goovaerts DisneyPotterWhovian You are correct. The boats have to wait in line for the final drop, which takes some of the fun out of it.

[@jdchaparro3699]

+FireCracker3240 Oh I see

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

May I use this footage in a video Im making about the scariest Disney animatronics? I will give your channel full credit.

[@lillykitty1988]

Well, I'd say that puts the Disco Yeti to shame...

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

The yeti wasn’t like that, it’s just frozen. In time it might move operational again.

[@unipachu]

looks cool but gotta be picky. they could've dimmed the lights in the monster scene to make it more terrifying and it's also weird that there is no climax. But still pretty nice

[@Attractions360]

The ride inside the cave is TOTAL darkness! We actually use two cameras to film this. Once inside the cave you can see the transition of the video. Our camera is capable of seeing in low light more than the naked eyes can see.

[@cwaluk]

I think the monster scene looks much better in the concept art. Its position now looks like its squeezing itself to stay on the rock. Btw SoCal if you're in Shanghai. will you go to visit HKDL as well? I was hoping to see your POV on their new Hyperspace Mountain.

[@hanonondricek411]

This will look much better when the trees around it grow several feet higher and fill in.

[@powdgaze]

I think that Croc is a Kaprosuchus! One of my favorite dinos!

[@DeadmanInc336]

The crocodile-like creature looks more like a Kaprosuchus; a genus of extinct and primitive species of crocodile. Also known as the "alligator boar".

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

Actually, it’s more like “BOARCROC”

[@pablomontanez7427]

THE CREATURE LOOKED AWESOME!!!!! Great video 😁🙌🏼

[@phroobar]

It does feel like DCA's Grizzly River Run. This ride needs more trees and plants a long the water way. They will grow in a year or two.

[@disneylandguy10]

Yet another amazing ride that makes me want to go here oh-so-badly.

[@robertjerald4931]

Love how long the ride is, aswell as the fact that it goes through caves with animatronics. The ride as Disneyland seems much shorter.

[@jacksonsommer3559]

The crocodile monster is called Q'raak iirc. Really neat animatronic and overall ride!

[@QuesoGr7]

The next incarnation of Killer Croc lol

[@KaiRubix]

is it just me but is the layout almost similar to Grizzly river run but mirrored?

[@TjSamson]

It is very similar to Grizzly River Run.

[@ethannicoletti8690]

Kai Rubix its exactly the same its a rethemed clone

[@WolfMoon351]

that River Guardian Crocodile looks amazing ^^

[@AmavirMC]

Wow that's an amazing ride, well themed, great drop, etc!

[@humbertoribeiro3192]

I love this animatronic. 😍😍😍❤💛💚💙💜

[@AMagicProduction]

It's a cool ride, but I much rather have Splash Mountain be the main water attraction for any Magic Kingdom style park. This would awesome if it was in Animal Kingdom, take out the god awful Kali River Rapids

[@JKalama25799752]

Fun Fact: I read that the reason why classic rides like Splash Mountain and Space Mountain weren't made in this park is because the Chinese Communist Government didn't let Disney, because the rides had become symbols of America. So they made Disney create new unique rides so there wasn't any cultural faux pas. This is why a lot of the rides from Shanghai may never come to America.

[@AMagicProduction]

+JKalama no offense that makes no sense because Disney itself is an American Icon...

[@rhollister9029]

That is also why they didn't have "Main Street USA" but instead they chose "Mickey Avenue" BTW: Disney only owns 43% of the park, the rest is by the Chinese Communist Government

[@xbox360guy19]

And let's not forget that China pavillion in World Showcase.

[@Inurantchan]

I love Kali River Rapids. It's my favorite ride at Animal Kingdom. That being said, I would prefer this if the animatronic bit was actually at the end. Would be nice to have an animatronic but the story of KRR would have to change, and that would kind of mess up the story of the section (fun fact: every section in Animal Kingdom has an entire story behind their themes).

[@CrazyWharf625]

they need this in america www. It would have been good for Beastly kingdom if they made it in animal kingdom, but it probably would still fit in dinoland USA

[@NOVELBITES]

There is already Kali River Rapids. They will not add another river rapids attraction to the same park.

[@sandraallen8832]

This looks great 🤗

[@cleverpork40]

That croco beast looks like a Karposucus to me

[@CaliKim29]

Love your vids! How did you keep the camera dry? Looks like you did a great job at keeping it dry!

[@legaciestr]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY prob a go pro

[@angelmsceeangel9790]

This is the best Rapids Ride I've seen so far! The one I've for Dusney in the US is lame compared to this ride! I Love 💘 the hidden Dinosaur in the cave! That was Awesome!! Definitely would Love 💘 to go there! 😻

[@TjSamson]

What I noticed is the lay-out of the ride is very similar to Grizzly River Run at Disneyland in California.

[@njjedidreamer]

The creature looked great. On the soft opening, it wasn't fully covered. Well, they did a fine job to have it functional by opening day.

[@ItsameBS]

Seems to be a combination of the AK and DCA ride with a giant Audio Animatronic. Is it me or is the water channel seem a bit narrow compared to most rapid rides.

[@AMagicProduction]

DCA's Grizzly River Run was suppose to have AA's but got cut out due to budget cuts :/

[@greatwesternsky]

I think this is a different company to those that made the American parks rapids. This is one of the fastest rapids rides I've seen too.

[@AMagicProduction]

+Mark Dennis you might be right, both rapid rides in America are made by Intamin, this might not be

[@greatwesternsky]

Pretty sure it's a company called Sansei.

[@jakecruz2515]

How the hell did they make a whirlpool

[@jasonthetoymaker3595]

With technology.

[@angelmsceeangel9790]

That was a Cool 😎 concept right? Dunno how they mafe it? But Cool 😎 nonetheless! 😋

[@3Davmawey]

Just wondering, am I the only one who's confused? I really appreciated the giant gator part, but as for the rest... where's the story? Where's the crescendo? Where are the immersive landscapes? I mean... small plants, clearly visible speakers everywhere, no music, doubtful theming... I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the ride, but is this really up to the standards of a Magic Kingdom (if we can call Shanghai Disneyland that) attraction? What do you guys think? I'd really like to know!

[@ianolexsak4054]

Did you ever ride Grizzly River or Kali River when it first opened? Plants were not very big then and now its all grown up. And Grizzly River and Kali River really don't have "crescendo" events either but they are just fun.

[@3Davmawey]

+Ian Olexsak ......This is why I have specified "Magic Kingdom" and not any other Disney park kind of ride

[@ianolexsak4054]

So you are saying all other Disney theme parks are not on par with a "Magic Kingdom" style of park? And if you want to limit to just "Magic Kingdom" style of parks, every single one of them were not perfect when they opened at first. Tomorrowland could see the outside world when Disneyland first opened. Jungle Cruise looked barren for the first few years before it all grew in and looked better. MK in FL has attractions now that has speakers visible, saw them on Splash Mt my last trip in December. Im not trying to contradict you just for the sake of doing, it. Im just trying to point out that this park is a month old and it takes time for them to work these things out. Besides, this style of ride it truly hard to theme with story in my opinion. The boats are not able to be controlled in a way that focuses the attention of the riders. We can hope that in a few years when the plants grow and make the ride more lush that it will help with the idea of you being on a raging river in the mountains about to come face to face with a creature. We can hope.

[@3Davmawey]

True that! But it wouldn't take much to add that typical Disney storytelling, for example, I'd add some Jumanji drum beat that grows louder and louder as you approach the mountain, along with with some eerie roars echoing in the distance, like in Expedition Everest... and there you go, the experience has gained some extra magic and guests will feel anxiety rising as they realize something big is about to happen. As for the plants yeah I suppose we have to wait for them to grow a bit higher, but I feel that perhaps, they should be more present and closer to the boats in certain spots. Oh well... let's wait and see

[@Levleup]

3Davmawey I think the lack of music works

[@mdragonflame]

Oh wow what a beautiful animatronic!

[@jaypichard7194]

4:50 jesus this park is massive

[@wedimagineer13]

Man, there not even remotely soaked. No surprise water spouts or slight overhead waterfall. Seems a missed opportunity to deliver the true essence of a tube rude. Seemed pretty boring except for seeing the Animatronic creature in the cave. It definitely looks terrific. Needs a Blutos Barge getting wet approach!!!

[@benjacobs574]

wedimagineer13, some people, like me for example, prefer just getting wet, which dries off after a while, unlike getting soaked, which is fun while it happens, but is just uncomfortable for a very long time after.

[@masands1342]

Looking at those statues along the ride I notice the nice round mouths. As if made for squirting water. Perhaps that was intended but not implemented. Or perhaps turned off. I can't help but notice that the overall timing of the rafts is very 'off', bunching up even when not needed. Perhaps too 'off' to keep delay triggered water jets from blasting someone square in the face. Not good PR for a grand opening.

[@ryankiser294]

On grizzly River run (a rapids ride in DCA) Disney can control how much you get wet, maybe this uses the same idea?

[@sunnyzengaravito4930]

Thank you for taking me to where I will never be able to go , it means alot to an old person 😁

[@trustindean5164]

Wow the production design is crazy on this one

[@mattman237]

Theming is Disney standard but it seems poorly engineered. The waterways seem too narrow which causes a pinball effect throughout the ride.

[@Akitokun2023]

similar to popeyes river ride and Jurassic park ride at universal because when the scene in this ride with the crocodile facing down at you its very similar in the ending drop of Jurassic park lol

[@reibee888]

ディズニーシーに出来ないかなあ

[@nelsonalvarado2705]

That looks so real

[@ralelunar]

Disney Asia: 2 awesome animatronics Disney US: 1 frozen yeti

[@haydenp4127]

LOVE IT!! This ride seems much longer and taller than Grizzly.

[@katieneves]

Another place to go in the freaking future if it's there I heard so many good things about Shanghai Disneyland...and the sea one I believe? (Feel free to correct me ofc) ugh I wanna go so bad

[@idk-zt8rx]

you mean DisneySea in Tokyo?

[@katieneves]

@@idk-zt8rx I believe so? Idk... it's been so long

[@ZeonNewtype]

I have to say, they've got a pretty good thing working out there. :) This ride looks fun! :D

[@jacobgarland4692]

So does this mean we are going to be seeing povs of the new Pirates and Tron ride? So excited!

[@micahhirsh8458]

Ha. Ha... haha. you're joking right? You do know that POVs for those two rides have been up for a month or so now, right?

[@jacobgarland4692]

Micah Hirsh Oh yeah I have seen the other povs I am just excited for them on this channel. I like his camera and they way he films the rides. The other povs aren't the clearest.

[@DouglasRickard]

+Jacob Garland yeah he's one my favourite POV KZbinrs ever

[@jeanbont]

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AwesomeBlassom]

omg this is awesome! I understand that it's kind of boaring and stuff like that but I mean it has a freaking huge monster thing. I think this is better then the one in Disney World. The one in Disney World is so short and doesn't have awesome things like this. Doesn't look like you get that wet but on Kali River Rapids you don't get that wet either.

[@slumberpartybard6355]

I loved this ride

[@poelmagirl]

Great video, kind of boring ride

[@soakked2543]

Omg thats huge!!!

[@TheUnholyHandGrenade]

When the Q’aráq showed up, my inner ARK player screamed, "Hey, a Kaprosuchus! Time to tame!"

[@EmHarp]

That creature is actually terrifying

[@marroemin7595]

I wish there was more with the crocodile

[@Duder_abides]

This and Kali have nothing on Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-rat Barges. Popeye is one of the best rapid rides ever.

[@jiminspogostick297]

We Rode this ride at Night Time and it was Freezing Cold And it was really fun

[@SledgeNE]

Awesome onride! Too scary for me. But it looks really great. :-)

[@ilovebruno490]

Beautiful video! The ride does seem remarkably similar to Grizzly River Rapids at DCA. Once the vegetation fills in it will be cool but what ruins the ride is the constant spinning, just like GGR. Even this video became hard to watch because of it.

[@polarbear044]

Okay Disney, time to update the DCA ride with some cool caves and giant animatronic. This is how you do it!

[@anthonyc4838]

true they need 2 up there game

[@anthonyc4838]

but then agian in anaheim they have 2 parks not just 1

[@TjSamson]

Grizzly River Run is still super awesome. Well, Star Wars Land is coming and a new luxury hotel is coming. Disneyland already have 2 big huge parks.

[@dustindonut8929]

Same outline as Grizzly River Rapids, but it has an actual plot.

[@pobstrel]

The two women holding their hands up besides their heads while the boat is going up the ramp!

[@christopherwynn727]

[@michealdesanta9219]

Disneyland has better rides than Universal, Change my mind

[@flyinggalaxypotato6108]

If the gator was real he could've gotten some Chinese takeout

[@FireCracker3240]

Just... no. Too soon.

[@babyrodent]

No. Just... just no.

[@Mickey784cr]

😆

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

Only if the rather was full of dogs

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

For a company who has many famous water rides, Disney needs to learn how to do Rapids Raft rides. Their Rapids rides suck & lack animatronic

[@singlerider377]

Shanghai is in Southern California?

[@Red_Ryan_Red]

Well it's basically just every Disney water ride mixed into one, but it looks fun.

[@user-im4et9wg8u]

어우 보기만해도 시원하네..디즈니부럽다야!!

[@JohnSmith-hc6wm]

That was cool.

[@ntherooh]

Do you get soaked on this ride? I'm going in februari, but don't want to be wet when its cold weather, but on the other hand I want to do every ride.

[@crow-t-robot]

Great video. It seems like they spent all the time and money on just the one giant crocodile scene and said fuck it to the rest of the ride. I mean there is nothing special about this ride other than seeing the spooky croc for 2 seconds. Boring drops and it looks like they never got more than a splash. Considering how amazing the other Shanghai rides look this just sucks lol.

[@midori_notori]

Omg I’ll totally get used to this. I’m a fan of beasts like dat.

[@TylerRakstis]

4:06- 4:14 That creature looks like a giant Kaprosuchus, or Boar-Croc.

[@vidfreak727]

Is this better than the one is California Adventure?

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

I wish this was in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World of Orlando Florida.

[@T80Vay]

pretty good I have never been on it because it was closed

[@crystaldixon6787]

What's the sense of going on a water ride if you do not want to get wet??? I didn't get that. They were all trying everything not to get wet and it don't seem like they were going to get that wet in the first place. Man they were such wimps. Man I would have loved to get my ass on that ride and to get wet would just be a bonus.

[@ae.97rk89]

my friends and I rode this 9 times and I was still very dry lol

[@RubyVulpix713]

Are you using a Go Pro camera?

[@XenothranHero]

Am I the only one who feels like this was a Yeti-free fusion of Kali River Rapids and Expedition Everest?

[@goldenmangolps]

Just like grizzly river run! I think they should put a bear in it

[@fasteddieskustoms]

In my opinion the Shanghai Disney is waaay better than any other Disneyland around the world....not fair...=(

[@user-rm2jf6bp2n]

Why many guys here think this ride is kind of boring? It just looks exciting for me! Or... ....Maybe I think so because South Korea doesn't have such named theme parks...? ;)

[@AnyWhoAlly]

Croc is at 4:06

[@willeonfly]

Am I the Only One who notice that the girl in sunglasses and the Bald old man didnt know each other，and finaaly the girl decided to sit in the bald ola man' leg to let him protect her？.............

[@reptilescarfacemoma8498]

Hey guys I got the baby q'rarq Right here🐊 Ahhhhhh 4:04

[@juliangines6764]

Are you kidding me?! That animatronic looks WAY better than the Kong animatronic.

[@charlescxgo7629]

Kinda like the Jurassic park ride at universal.

[@riddlemefish6217]

I LOVE THE HIM

[@jesters08joker]

Seams like you're to close to the other rafts half the time.

[@kookycoconut]

speechless...

[@DonniesBoStaff]

I'm assuming this uses similar technology to the Kali River Rapids in Animal Kingdom

[@Magnus_Caramelo_55]

Qaraq the giant ceocodile beast

[@tacoaj8756]

Apendice right before the big crocodile scared me

[@ToyFan]

I hope you didn't take your Sony on the ride. They don't handle water very well.

[@luisvalle81]

Really really stupid question but does anyone know the story for this ride

[@garethlee5380]

I only can go there if I get good marks for my major exam😢😢😢

[@matthewslee910]

That beast was most likely a kaprosuchus if I'm correct.
