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!
Obsessed!!! with the textures in the monuments and cave walls, you can see they put effort into making every area distinct and different from the last. honestly kudos to the designers!
I think this warrants a night time visit. I kept imagining how this stuff looks lit up.
@@TheIndependentLens Sadly they didn’t really put any effort into lighting. Its just the maintenance lights
The ride started life as ‘The Neverending Story’… So it used to be even more fantastically themed with lots of moving animatronics!
I really miss this version of the ride
@@AyrtonIsGod Me too. That was one of the most awesome rides in the park.
The park in general was so awesome back then. The Gremlins/ALF darkride, the Batman simulator, the Looney Tunes Dark Ride. I really miss Warner Bros. Movie Park.
Aww that sucks
Dam that would’ve epic to see
It's pretty good. Kind of quiet in places and could benefit from some additional movement.
I adored this! The story of King Arthur will never get old to me. Great music and story telling!
....what?
The only thing that would have made this better was if some of the bigger props were animatronics. I was waiting for that rock monster and that dragon to move! Other than that, this was incredible!
The theme was amazing though I got to say the ride layout itself looks really tame.
Always amazes me how you are able to get on all these attractions with little to no crowds.
Go to an European theme park on a Monday in the middle of October, you will be the only one (if it's not Disney).
Very cool theme! That dark fairy tale and a good rafting ride and I'm in. I'm a sucker for the whole "who's the unlucky sap who gets soaked?" element of it all. My sister is that unlucky person waaaay more often than not, but she handles it well.
I avoid water rides for that very reason.
@@lindinle So you avoid water rides because they have water?
@@commander0287 yes. I dont like the feeling of wet clothes.
@@lindinle well that's understandable
Fun fact: back when the park was part of the Warner Bros. franchise (called Warner Bros. Movie World) this river rapid ride was themed after the neverending story.
yes when it actually was interesting to look at..
Woah, rapids ride that starts with indoor part. Amazing!
It seems it’s like the longest rapid river raft ride. Lol
honestly this looks like something I would've hastily thrown together as my first ride in Planet Coaster or something.
Well yes it got after the remoddeling better but it was my alltime favourite when it was the Neverending Journey ride.
I still remember this ride as Mystery River. Good times. :´)
In my time it was never ending story. :)
I bet a lot of that looks really cool at night.
I love the theme and attention to detail. But I have to say, my bucket list raft ride experience would have to be the roaring rapids ride at Shanghai Disneyland - mostly because of that insane crocodile monster animatronic. Brilliant filming here as always, Attractions 360°
That's some GOOD THEMING. On the other hand, Disney World Animal Kingdom has THE WORST rapids ride I've ever been on!! It just goes in a loop and YOU'RE DONE.
This is one of the coolest raft water rides I've ever seen! Europe is where it's at for rides.
This is the only thing that makes the park worth it .the quality of Movie Park Germany has gone downhill a lot over the years
@@robinv6461 the quality of Movie Park has only gone up recently, Excalibur, Studio Tour, Van Helsing are all amazing
I liked this ride a lot more before the retheming. It used to be themed to The Neverending Story.
Ugh. Started nice. Fell apart after the evil forest. And the near T posing knights.
Those knights are dead my man
@@QDude24 and?
fun fact its actually the modern way to T-Pose when when creating a game character ( im a 3D artist )
It is awesome! That is also because it carries a lot of the bones of the NeverEnding Story. The ride this attraction was modeled off of for most of the areas including the outdoors.
Now that you mentioned it. Kinda surprising that they didn’t make a Neverending Story attraction.
@@TwilightLink77 It was originally themed after the neverending story
@@thefrog4990 Um what?
@@TwilightLink77 This ride was originally a Neverending Story themed attraction. I think there's a video of it on UA-cam.
Beautiful ride! I wish I can experience this movie park one day.
I am one of those guys that only like Disney and universal studios and think everything else is bad but this is very good for a ''not disney''
This ride, is one of my Life greatest moments and unforgetable
If you have ever done this ride when it opened, you would feel sad seeing this onride, it's in a terrible state. It used to be so good with the Never Ending Story theming.
Yeah did also the tracks came later? because i remembered it was fcking wild with waves and all and open water parts but now its not that wild anymore and you follow a track
I like the trees with thair scary faces!👍
Die Attraktion ist echt gut gelungen!
This is so awesome place!
When I was in movie park germany i rode this so much that the operator knew my name. At the last time he even put the light's out for us in the indoor section (with that big spike up to the ceiling.) The fountains made me so wet my dad wouldn't let me in the car. I hope this ride remains as this for a long time❤
This is so cool. I've never seen a rapid ride with theming like this. Super cool. Although, it's not a very wet ride, is it?
Its not that wet normally, though I have gotten soaked twice
Great job on the POV. Usually river rapids POVs are hard to watch because the camera spins around. Ride looks super fun too!
very well made ride, definitely invokes the imagination, great work germany
Thats incredible design work.. unbelievable really
Whats going on with the themeing here?.... it's all over the place.
Very beautiful 😍👍
Yeah... I wasn't overly wowed by what I saw here. The music was awesome and the set pieces were nice to look at. But, the ride could really use some animatronics. And that last part going into the building could use some extra set pieces. 'Cuz the modern building really kills the illusion.
nice to know:
in old times (about 2000) that ride was based on "never ending story"
Really well done!
That was so good.
Just a little motion....
UNIVERSAL ISLAND OF ADVENTURES AND SEA WORLD ORLAND HAVE THE MOST TURBULENCE, WAVES, SPLASHES, SOAKS ....... THIS ONE YOU MIGHT GET A SPRINKLE, BUT IT LOOKS COOL.
This is awesome! So many cool rides outside the US!
The indoor sections are pretty solid, but it wouldn't be the 'best themed rapids' for me - I'll always love Barge Rats at IoA
Wow, seems like the ride probably takes up the whole park
Overall I'm loving the design of this ride and the detail of the texter amazing theming.
This must be a huge park because this ride seem to go on forever. Just this one ride must take up several acres of space.
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 😅)
But your right with one point - Area 51, Excalibur and Studio Tour are really big rides. They take a lot of space. I don't know a other Park (maybe except europapark) which has that big rides and also then so well themed.
2:23 made me jump & flinch!
This looks fun but that sea serpent triggers my Submechanophobia something FIERCE!!!!
the stationary set designs seem like a missed opportunity to add some action adventure to the ride
very cool, but is it all lit up and cooler at night?
I want to go to Germany now
This is so FREAKING COOL!
Wish I knew how to speak German!
If you can speak english you can go to germany no worries. Most germans can speak english.
Damn ur cam got sniped by that water 2:24
The outdoor theming is lackluster. Needs more lights even in daytime, needs more animations and water features. Indoor is great however.
Nice park
Wow 🎉
Like a dark ride where none of the animatronics work .... I thought these rides are made to get people soaked looks like it didn't do that either.
This would be epic if you rode it at night.
I love to hear all kinds of languages
“Kobe!!!”- Sprinkler
Those tiny screens? Really?
Remembers of Neverending Story.
Ou my love
😍😍😍
I wondering if there is a real forest like this, all real trees, if cave then safe cave(modified like putting iron or ladder material somewhere to support it). A kind can park boat and pull up even - attract insects?
Do they need to do some yardwork or is the overgrown look part of the theming?
May bien
ahhhhhhhh my right ear at 2:24
One thing to note is the sound got weird after you got blasted by the first jet. If you ever ride this again a new video would be great. The muffling from the water blast hurts my eyes
Cool but I wouldn't say the best
La atención al detalle es increíble, aunque que aburrido sería hacer el viaje solo.
what is this I haven't heard of it 😊
Hi there! Could I possibly use your POV in my upcoming Movie Park Germany vlog to be able to show what the on-ride experience is like? I will provide an on screen POV credit while the POV shows and link your video / tag you in the description
This ride would of look cool with animatronics
Is this at Epcot at Disney World
ahahahaha jungle rapid ride
I still think grizzly rapids at california adventure might be better themed.
Preferred it when it was themed to The Never ending Story.
The old never ending story version was way nicer. All animatronics are gone now, and the music was better.
Nah bro, the soundtrack of Excalibur is sick
nothing moves?
Where is this.
Movie Park Germany, its right in the title
The theming looks phenomenal, especially for a raft ride, but the ride track looks far too straight and level. I definitely prefer a raft ride to have lots of back and forth bouncing and some significant drops. It still looks worth a ride just for the cool atmosphere.
Meanwhile here in the U.S. the idea is "hey, lets dig a ditch, run water through it, float a raft, make the patrons wet and miserable, and throw in some cheesy animiatronics and cardboard cut outs", "they'll come from all over and pay big bucks for it".
I wonder what the wizard was saying lol
on the first TV :from here on you are on your own
second TV:the enchanted creatures of the Dark Forest lurk on the banks of this magical river
third TV:your courage will guide you follow the stream of water
last TV : hold on and stand firm
besides the squirts of water, not that much rapids… but, i’m ok with that…
best one? hmm, i personally would say that Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges has a bit better themeing than this one. nonetheless this looks like a lot of fun
Can you do universal studios hollywood transformers the ride 3d in the front row
Best Themed River Rapids?!?!?!? are you serious?
Submechanophobia - The Ride
Must be the Saxon version of Excalibur because it's not the Frankish one.
Muy bonita la ambientación y los sonidos, pero la veo superfloja y de rápida... poca
You are so me eve you for offering to take the IP addresses😃
Why can't U.S. parks do this?
It was Warner Brothers .. so basicly a US park from the start
@@maltwhiskey1424 well, it was actually australian, based on the Warner Park in Australia. A lot of buildings where also created by australian firms. This prompted to be an issue later on, since the buildings weren't designed for a german climate
It's very nicely themed, but such a shame it's one of those narrow River Rapids. Also not a fan of eventually floating in a giant boxy shed. I feel that in a River Rapids boats should be able to freeroam a bit and able to overtake eachother.
Still a cheap overlay of what used to be Neverending Story. Slap a beard on Pyornkrachzark and you have a brand new stone giant.
Hum... nothing moves... LOL It looks like it's in desperate need of repair.
Its not in need of repair, nothing is supposed to move.
🤭 In 2023?
That's a lot of dead people 😲
It might be themed nicely but it's not very rapidy.
It’s a long ride
Great theming, but no real rapids
