To be honest Rumba Rapids is the most memorable ride in Thorpe Park for me

Went on this during the early childhood of the late 1990 years when it was Thunder river and going on it many times we got absolutely drenched as the boats were quite fast and you could turn the wheels. At the end you would get drenched by the shower over your head, but that’s been long gone since they returned it it has never been switched on and you don’t get drenched these days. Could this May have been due the ride was to fast and too wet for for most people and they had to calm it down to stop accidents. I miss them days. Fun times. Still got the old photos from the early years.

I remember Thunder River. And Flying Fish. And the Ghost Train.

Thorpe park is the best park in UK in my opinion. Sorry that's just my view, not over themed or over the top it's just a great day out with no nonsense and all about the thrill rides.

Just something random I found out about this ride, if you're under 18, you cannot go on without an adult anymore. Probably due to that girl dying at Drayton Manor?
