King Kong River Rapids Ride | Fantasy Valley Theme Park 2024

[@Zerbinator]

Who ever filmed this deserves a medal for making sure it was centered on that drop!

[@alisterfolson]

"A nice cake w/o flavor or frosting." Cool ride but it'd be much cooler with animatronics and more visual/sound effects, imo.

[@TheChaserOne123]

Yeah, the enviorment was cool, and the king kong entrance was quiet awesome, but yeah, animatronics make these things more exciting and interesting, plus, there was literally no sounds other than water running... its a solid 5/10 if i had to rate it

[@AbandonedMines11]

That ride looked extremely fast and turbulent! As others have noted, it needs to have more animatronics and other special effects. It really looks beautiful, though, the way it’s designed. Very intrigued by that swirling whirlpool at the end of the ride after the drop. What a drainage system!

[@shannongreenwell1278]

I love these types of rides. Me and my oldest nephew went on these rides twice when we went to Dollywood.

[@shannongreenwell1278]

[@ShirleyKahn]

This is a lovely ride. Some people don’t need animatronics or special effects (me for instance). The ride looks interesting and I would go on it. Thank you for sharing.

[@bradbarber]

Good video, looks like the bones are there for a decent ride, they just need to add some Kong elements to jazz it up

[@henryardoin8513]

For anyone who wants to know where fantasy valley theme park is it's in Xiangyang China "!😊🤪👍

[@TMcConnaughhay]

What an incredible looking theme park and one of the coolest river rapid rides I have ever seen!! I wanna see more ride videos from this park!

[@Teachworth01]

Okay now I know you're just lying

Gorgeous ride design! But the rocks on stilts gave me a good chuckle.

[@CJBrowninLV]

Well this theme park is located Xiangzhou, Xiangyang, Hubei, China. Features more than 35 rides ( Super Splash, Harakirri, Para Trooper, Dragon Coaster, Striking Car, Zip Zap Zoop, Pirate Boat, Wave Pool) this is the park and this ride does say King Kong River Rapids (but it almost looks like a yeti)

[@AdamYJ]

It seems like a decent enough raft ride. Like the Raging River at Great Escape. But if they're going to name it after King Kong, maybe have a show scene with a gorilla or dinosaur or both. Doesn't even need to be a giant gorilla.

[@Byrvurra]

Nice ride but it really needs some theming signifying you're on a 'King Kong' ride. Besides the big mouth at the beginning (which is cool) there's not really much going on that isn't just generally mountain and rocks themed. I did like the whirlpool, that was cool and the drops look like fun.

[@happiestplace3754]

Strong start, then, NOTHING. No Kong, no dinosaurs, no nothing.

[@lancesmithmusicman]

King Kong is right there at 1:32 the lift hill

[@zenithquasar9623]

This looks so much fun!

[@gregg5958]

Wow. The layout of this ride is SO much like the one at Disney’s California Adventure. Particularly the ground level part which is virtually identically laid out. Unfortunately it also shares the problem of DCA’s in that there isn’t much to look at in the caves. 😢

[@AndreSonofMogh]

I did notice during the ride that there is a castle and a mountain that shares a striking resemblance to the Matterhorn in Disney Land so the identical layout to the rapids ride at CA Adventure seems to make sense in this copycat thing their going for.

[@jeroen0011]

Looks like a fun ride, also looks like the people riding usually wont get too wet

It would be better if they add some animatronics, especially in the cave section of this ride.

Fantasy valley theme park it's in the title

[@dreams2reality410]

The ride has amazing rock work. The pace and rapids were good as well. It's definitely missing some much needed theming, sound system, and lighting in the caves. The final drop looked pretty weak.

I’m sorry, where was the water lol that ride was so long and nothing happened! It was beautifully laid out, I need more surprise geysers and waterfalls!! And at least on more drop!

[@emilysclone]

It looks nice but there really isn't anything to it beyond the kong faced rock. Some sound effects would at least add something but if you want a peaceful ride then this is for you.

[@jamesbrunicardi1644]

Why is this the only video out there of this theme park? I have seen no other coverage of this place. Why?

[@Lemoncoder103]

It’s in China. They may have less coverage because people could be posting about it in region specific social media apps. I feel like I’ve heard about this park at least once before, the name seems familiar…

[@srayj]

I also wonder if certain countries have more stringent restrictions regarding filming in public places because of privacy rights?

[@Attractions360]

Everyone loves to take photos and videos in China. The reason you don’t see it on KZbin is because they don’t have KZbin/Google there. They have their own apps they uploaded it too. It’s just that American can’t see it. Also because less tourists visit this part of China.

It's okay if you want to enjoy the ride without getting wet

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Not everyone wants to get drenched especially if the weather isn’t that hot. Then you have to walk around in wet clothes all day.q nice if it’s hot weather but otherwise no.

[@bigman72511]

​@nancyfarkas3592 sounds like a personal problem and bad decision-making. It's a water ride, there's a very high probability you're going to get wet. If you want to remain dry avoid water rides, it's just that simple.

[@fredericklockard3854]

@@bigman72511 or how they’ll all get upset and angry, because even though they wore the stupid plastic raincoat they still got soaking wet 😂. If the main attraction of a ride is WATER, yet you do not want to get wet, my suggestion is DO NOT RIDE IT

[@chipinchina]

This could have been so much better...even with music added at least inside the cave. At least add a few lights for some effect or something. And it seems like such a big lift hill for such a small drop. The attraction seems operational yet unfinished.

Donde queda ese parque?

[@celebrityrog]

I mean, it looks pretty cool, but since its in a place where safety standards as well as building code, subpar materials used in most construction in addition to adulterated steel that is more brittle and weaker than some other nations steel, you wouldn't find me on it.

So no, it’s just simply not. That can be your personal preference and that’s fine but. This ride has better views better visuals on the ride and more drops and is longer. So this ride is physically better, but you personally can have better memories on Grizzly Rapids that’s fine.

[@AndreSonofMogh]

Its like they opened the ride without finishing it! No animatronic theming no music no lame ride story where characters say they need your help and only you can defeat Kong by simply…riding the ride…for some reason…seriously like every ride with a story has recoded actors telling people in line that they need their help…😂 its really funny when you think about it…but not this ride! Its got nothing but the functional ride itself. Strange!

[@viviennemorgan7217]

there are rides with animatronics in them, dinosaur, the deceased jaws ride, great movie ride, runaway railroad and many other rides.

[@mitchkatz4918]

the ride seems ho hum- meaning you go up into the apes mouth to be excreted onto a track with 1 or 2 dips but no surprises- so your waiting for the hills down could be a log plume ride didn't seem to spin the raft around or give the riders any wow moments.

[@PatchesMother]

What's the point in going on a ride where you're going to get wet to wear a raincoat, if you don't want to get wet then don't go on the ride.

[@suzawilo]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@RInger2875]

This looks lame as hell. The only thing that's "Kong" about it is the gorilla head cave at the very beginning, and then a blink-and-you'll-miss-it *illustration* of a Yeti or something on the wall at 4:48. And you don't go under any waterfalls or into any sharp dips, it's just a curvy path leading to one drop at the end. They could have at least made those geysers shoot water out so that it would splash on people as they went past.

[@lyndonwhite104]

Where is King Kong?😮

[@lancesmithmusicman]

At the lift hill

[@viviennemorgan7217]

[@Nicky_Otto]

I prefer the Piraña in De Efteling, it has much better finishing on the theming and has it all the way around, and it also has open spots where boats can overtake each other, it feels more alive. Just like this ride it has no Animatronics, but it does have some statues along the course that are interactive from the paths. These statues have a spewer and a trigger, the trigger is placing your hand inside something, then some drum sounds play and if you timed it right, it will spray the ones in a raft. But, it has a catch, it can also use a secondary shooter to spray the one who is triggering it.
