We should all appreciate how Disney is committed to theming on their rides. It’s not like there was a small mountain/hill sitting next to Disneyland. This ride was created on what used to be part of the Disneyland parking lot. They literally built this ride from the ground up!
As I looked around at all of the trees and natural looking settings of this attraction, I couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that the last time I was at Disneyland in 1994, this area was all parking lot. What a beautiful conversion!
The real fact is that he got it for himself is because he went alone to the park and the video was 2 weeks ago and(COVID) if he go with a family they will go with him or not because they dont want it
I am not a huge fan of raft rides, but my son wanted to go on Grizzly River Run the weekend before last on our very first visit to Disney’s California Adventure. I am *so* glad we did! This is easily the best raft ride I’ve ever experienced. The raft was always in motion… spinning, moving swiftly through the water, going down hills. On cookie-cutter raft rides (I’m lookin’ at you, Congo River Rapids), you typically traverse a totally flat layout while slamming hard into poorly designed turns, losing speed with each bump.
This ride was painful, fun, and thrilling all in one, post-covid I went on this ride and the lines were close to nobody, I only ever rode with a full cart once, definitely underrated.
This ride is a 10/10. I was just at California Adventure and Disneyland and did this ride with my family. Including a 5 year old who loved it, totally recommend.
On the drop at the end, I once got completely turned around right at the last second and it was completely unexpected. I thought I would be able to predict and anticipate the drop, but it was like all my confidence disappeared the second before the drop.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Just wondering. Lol I always want to go on it but my family never wants too. I also love splash mountain it makes me so happy. You need to go especially with the rise of the resistance ride. Don’t look it up unless you want to spoil it. Are you a California Resident?
i love this ride. i went on this with my family and one of my cousins rode this for 2 hours straight. it was later at night and no one else in the park was riding. they let him just go on loops for however long he wanted.
Man, I sure had fun on that rapid ride back on my Disneyland trip in California back in April of this year, it kinda reminded me of what would Splash Mountain look like if it was a rapid ride :)
I wouldn’t say “these rides kill”. That was one, very tragic, incident. The ride at Dreamworld wasn’t maintained properly, which led to an issue with the water pumps/water level, eventually leading to the tragedy. With how many of these types of rides operate around the world without incident, and given this is Disney, the chances of a raft tipping over are extremely slim, to the point of being almost nonexistent. But I can see where your worry is coming from. No matter how much I think to myself how safe this ride is given it’s being operated at much higher levels of safety, there’s still a part of me that thinks “what if?”. Guess that’s the case with any thrill ride.
@@crystalcavernartwork722 One killed a kid and critically injured another in Altoona Iowa this summer. The raft deflates and gets caught and flips over. The conveyer belt also has crushed a worker at the same park. So, yeah more than one isolated incident.
Can someone tell me how bad the drop at the end is? My family can’t do big drops but I really want to ride this ride. Please be honest! It looks really steep and crazy but you never know
The fact that this dude got on the ride is insane cause disneyland and Disney’s California adventure is open but they got rid of fast passes and I went to Disney’s California adventure and the wait time was 90 minutes 👁👄👁
Such an awesome & fun ride specially in summer.it’s more fun if more people are sitting with you too. One of the best rides specially in summer!! Love it
I'm getting up there in years so my favorite rides have moved from roller coasters to raft, plume, skyrides, trains, etc. I would like the drop on this one though. I'm still up for a little excitement!
this one is my fav i love how we get so much wetter than splash mounin 10x better than spash moutin like but I love splash moutin to because of the big drop its so much fun
Ok story time. I HATE drops in rides. The feeling drops give me really hurts my stomach and its exacerbated by the fact that i tense up and keep my eyes closed (which you’re not supposed to do in a drop). My older, psychopathic sister knows this. So she gets me to go on this damn ride which i was not intimidated by because we’re at freaking Disneyland! As we’re riding up that creaking hill platform i grew suspicious. Squinted my eyes at her and asked very seriously if there was a drop. She was very convincing. I wanted to look this ride up to see if the drop was actually 100 feet, like it felt. Nope. It was tiny and i now have PTSD and had to run to the toilet so i didn’t crap my pants from the memories this video gave me.
water rides seem really hard to film, but you did a great job! remembered this video from like 6 months ago and came back to watch it because i love the vibe
one time- a few years back, my friend’s family and my family all rode together on this ride. my dad turned around right as a wave came in and he turned around, his face was wet 😂😂
Reminds me of the time I told my son it was his last time going to Disney Land. He begged me to go on Grizly River Rapids and we stayed in the park till close!
But you could just as well drown in a flood, get caught up in a hurricane or just drop dead from a heart attack on your couch🤔 I'd happily go for one of these rides if I wasn't poor and disabled 😞Oh an thousands of miles away😩
The chances of having an accident on this ride are slim to none. They do happen but millions of guests have ridden this ride with very few If any accidents. Millions of car accidents and plane crashes have happened too , are you scared to drive or fly as well? I think you should try it, you might like it.
Wonderful waterway (and all the backstage machines that make it function!) i prefer the log-boats tho, as these round ones constantly rotating drives me bonkas!
you know, I've never rode this. I generally skip the water rides in fear of catching a cold (happened when I was a teen at Great America after their water ride). Might have to actually try it sooner than later.
Wow, you've missed out on all the good ones. I would recommend wearing a poncho then so hopefully that won't happen. I've gone on both water rides, grizzly and splash so many times and have never gotten sick from it. Its always good to go on grizzly and then the radiator springs racers or the incredicoaster to dry off faster. It really depends on where you sit. I've been going to Disney at least 13 or so years now, ever since I was a baby and have been on every ride at both parks and have also been going on both splash and grizzly since I was tall enough (I've always been tall for my age) so I think you should be fine going on it.

Really?
@@trevertravis8963yea that whole area was a parking lot even where Downtown Disney sits

Same 1998 for us. Wowza
??,)(
The fact that this dude got a whole ride vehicle to himself is surprising
bc of covid only one party can get on one of them so it’s just him
Yeah this must have been filmed when it was one party per raft. But they’re now filling all available seats, regardless of party
@@timboslice9897 ya i went here today with 5 other family members so there were just two random ppl with us lol
a lot of the time they can get media passes which gives them access to stuff like that. or covid 🤷🏻♀️
The real fact is that he got it for himself is because he went alone to the park and the video was 2 weeks ago and(COVID) if he go with a family they will go with him or not because they dont want it
Look at that lovely blue sky and warm climate. Really could do with a holiday. Fun ride too.

Respect this man didn’t say a word for the whole ride is crazy
This is one ride you really need a lot of people with you to enjoy. It’s kind of sad seeing empty rafts.
When I go on raft rides I love being grouped with people and sharing the experience. Everyone reacting together and smiling makes it so fun
My favorite ride was the Six Flags version of this. I never went to Disneyland but I can see myself liking this River Rapids ride
Boy, this is better than Kali River Rapids in WDW by a lot. Long, exciting with a lot of drops, and longer than 3 minutes. Fantastic.
My favourite attraction is Grizzly River Run at Disney California Adventure
Wow the water is so clean and crystal clear.
That fact that he never dropped the camera is pretty cool
I do like the raft rides, I also remember how Yogi and Boo Boo went down the Rapids before the falls at Jellystone national park.
Must feel so good to go on in a hot day. 😎
No it doesn’t lol
It feels amazing until you wet off all your sunscreen 🤣
Ik
It is!
every day is a hot day in cali, we only experience winter ever three years lol
This ride is a 10/10. I was just at California Adventure and Disneyland and did this ride with my family. Including a 5 year old who loved it, totally recommend.

If you go on there at night there is no line you can watch fireworks and have fun with family/friends all at the same time it’s awesome!
0:54 That voice sounds like Mr. Smee.
You still make the BEST ride videos!! Love putting them up on my big screen and go along on the ride. BEST EVER!!
Yes one of the best rides at dca
It definitely looks like one of the best.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Have you been?
@@SlippyFlicks no, but this looks like it would be one of my favorites.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Just wondering. Lol I always want to go on it but my family never wants too. I also love splash mountain it makes me so happy. You need to go especially with the rise of the resistance ride. Don’t look it up unless you want to spoil it. Are you a California Resident?
@@SlippyFlicks no I’m in Florida.
I like how one of the mountains is shaped like a bear
i love this ride. i went on this with my family and one of my cousins rode this for 2 hours straight. it was later at night and no one else in the park was riding. they let him just go on loops for however long he wanted.
We should all appreciate how Disney
OK, this is one of the best Rapid Rides of all time!
For real I wish knotts had the drops on their ride
This ride is super nostalgic for me
my favorite part was definitely the finger wiping the water droplets off the camera lens
Man, I sure had fun on that rapid ride back on my Disneyland trip in California back in April of this year, it kinda reminded me of what would Splash Mountain look like if it was a rapid ride :)
Never felt this was Disney quality, just felt like any rapids you'd get at a Six Flags or Knotts Berry Farm.
needs themeing
Classic Michael Eisner
Way better landscaping than a regular rapids ride
As the person above me said, this has much better landscape than any other raft ride, also it has two drops, while any other ride doesn’t have any
The rapids rides is the best ride to go on when you need to cool off from the summer heat
That gimble is handling that raft like a boss!
This would be a fun ride on a hot day!
closest thing to splash mountain if it didnt exist pretty much
We were just there a few weeks ago. This was our 4-year-old's first water ride. She loved it. :)
I went on this during my last Disneyland trip and prior to that I hadn't been on it in years but I forgot how thrilling it is!
I haven’t been on this, but it looks WAY better than Kali at Animal Kingdom.
U gotta be on crack to think this is better lol
@@drwalka10 I said it looks better, not that it is better. Also, is Kali really that much better? Based on that, this must suck.
"River Rapids 1 was great"
I love water rides like this
In my 39 years of life and 29 years of loving rapid rides, I have never seen one with drops.
How bout splash mountain?
i rode this, you cant even feel the drop
I miss this ride so much and I miss getting soaked!
Same!
One of the most underrated and best rides in DCA. Just hope a boat doesn't tip over. These rides kill you know.

@@justimagine2403 still a rare occurrence… and by your logic, don’t ever ride any ride, because they all are potential killers
I love that you get your own raft!
Me too! For almost every ride u and your group get your raft/cart so everyone is social distanced! It’s a lot better personally
I love water rides so much 😭
Eine sehr schöne Anlage. Bei dem schönen Wetter bekommt man gleich Lust in kurzer Hose und Tshirt eine Runde zu fahren.
Can someone tell me how bad the drop at the end is? My family can’t do big drops but I really want to ride this ride. Please be honest! It looks really steep and crazy but you never know
since no one replied to u yet, its prolly not that bad lol
The fact that this dude got on the ride is insane cause disneyland and Disney’s California adventure is open but they got rid of fast passes and I went to Disney’s California adventure and the wait time was 90 minutes 👁👄👁
My grizzly river run is closed for refurbishment at my Disneyland :(
Ohh nooo
way better than animal kingdom.
Such an awesome & fun ride specially in summer.it’s more fun if more people are sitting with you too. One of the best rides specially in summer!! Love it
I remember me and my family going on this as soon as dca opened. Nobody was there so it was cool!
I'm getting up there in years so my favorite rides have moved from roller coasters to raft, plume, skyrides, trains, etc. I would like the drop on this one though. I'm still up for a little excitement!
the ride is so much better at night
How can you compare this drop to splash mountain
this ride is so nice on a hot day
this one is my fav i love how we get so much wetter than splash mounin 10x better than spash moutin like but
I love splash moutin to because of the big drop its so much fun
I went there yesterday & can say you did an amazing job capturing the full ride experience!
Hello, just want to ask you guys, if we can take our 4 years old son to this ride? Thank you, answers appreciated
Wow, that's a long ride, looks awesome, thanks for the fun
I love the way the lift hill sounds like a Old busted WigWag railway crossing
this looks so beautiful and amazing
Ok story time. I HATE drops in rides. The feeling drops give me really hurts my stomach and its exacerbated by the fact that i tense up and keep my eyes closed (which you’re not supposed to do in a drop). My older, psychopathic sister knows this.

one time- a few years back, my friend’s family and my family all rode together on this ride. my dad turned around right as a wave came in and he turned around, his face was wet 😂😂
When I was little, I was afraid that a bear was gonna pop out when we went inside the caves.
i can see why
Wow!! I wish I could be there when it's this empty. We waited an hour for this ride two years ago
Reminds me of the time I told my son it was his last time going to Disney Land. He begged me to go on Grizly River Rapids and we stayed in the park till close!
This is by far the most exciting ride I've ever been on
You should definitely try the incredicoaster, it’s a lot of fun!
I'm way too terrified of raft rides, never going on them again because of how many accidents there have been
I don't mean to seem nosy but accidents on water rides? What kind of accidents happen if you don't mind me asking?
@@Withgreatpowercomesnofuture there was one recently where the whole raft flipped over
@@RebelRebelhottramp That sounds horrible I didn't even know those could flip, thank you.
But you could just as well drown in a flood, get caught up in a hurricane or just drop dead from a heart attack on your couch🤔
I'd happily go for one of these rides if I wasn't poor and disabled 😞Oh an thousands of miles away😩

this makes me homesick for Disney! Would have liked to have seen a bear of some sort.......
What’s the name of the ride that you’re riding?
Grizzly something
It’s called grizzly peak
says in title
grizzly river run
I love this ride so much!!
Wonderful waterway (and all the backstage machines that make it function!) i prefer the log-boats tho, as these round ones constantly rotating drives me bonkas!
That was awesome … the rapids ride at Disney World is not even half as long … thanks
last time I went on this ride it stopped right before the big drop and I had to wait there for almost an hour
Great video my friend!!!!!!👍🙋😍
My fav ride ❤
This ride was so fun I had the best time
grizzly ok, but brother of bears would have corresponded better according to me
Why is the water crystal clear before the first climb, but once you get over the hill the water becomes some sludge polluted water supply?
I went on this and went down the big drop directly backwards! Still was a fun ride though.
Amazing! Happiest Planet On Earth 🌎
WE HAD PARTY BOAT GRIZZLY RIVER RAPIDS WITH DROP
I had to wait a long time but It was worth it!
The scariest part of this ride is going up at the begging
Better than Knott's Berry Farm
10 of 10 ride
"Grizzly River Run is a really good value"
went on this ride like prob 20 times LOL pretty underrated ride
Wow! That looks fun. I should have been riding that ride during my first Disneyland vacation.😃
Very Beautiful 😍😍
I've been on this ride one of my favorites
This ride so so so much better than Kali river rapids went on it more times than anything they had there at that time
you know, I've never rode this. I generally skip the water rides in fear of catching a cold (happened when I was a teen at Great America after their water ride). Might have to actually try it sooner than later.

@@RandomDumbBlonde367 done splash as a kid, and IIRC it's not that bad w/ getting wet. But never rode this ride, might try it soon
I’m going to tell Kno that you’re using their logo without permission.
Any water rides ruin my day nothing worse be wet all day getting burns between legs when walking
Seconds I love your video
went on this when i was a kid and had no idea there was a drop at the end. started crying when i saw it 😭 but it was really fun regardless!
I LOVE THIS RIDE SOOOOOO MUCH
I wish Kali River Rapids was more like this.
