Part roller coaster, part water flume, this ride combines the fun of the classic cartoons with edge-of-your-seat action. As our story unfolds, Snidely Whiplash has once again kidnapped fair Nell Fenwick, and it’s up to the lovably laughable Royal Canadian Mountie, Dudley Do-Right, to rescue her. As your flume log sloshes its way through twists and turns, keep a lookout for funny puns and visual jokes that were a trademark of the animated series. And once you find yourself approaching that final nail-biting 75-foot drop, get ready to whoosh down the track underneath the water level for the biggest splash of your life.

Queue area
The attraction's queue area passes through: Snidely Whiplash's hideout, a theater that spoofs movies such as Jaws, The Silence of the Lambs, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Three Men and a Baby and Star Wars, and a room with a talking bear head and a talking beaver head on a wall. While passing through the theater room of the queue, guests watch as Nell Fenwick is kidnapped from her dressing room, setting up the ride's main story. Throughout the queue and in the loading area, there are black and white screens showing a preview of a fictional cartoon, RipSaw Falls. (The footage was animated by Universal Animation Studios).

Modifications
Three major renovations have been made to this ride. The first modification came in 2004 to the main drop. Originally the drop began at a 45 degree angle then descended to 50 degrees as the drop progressed. This was changed due to complaints of roughness to a constant 50 degree drop. One of the modifications was the addition of lap bar restraints in 2007, making it one of the few attractions of its type to use them, and most recently, an on-ride camera was added. Since then, some minor refurbishments have resulted in the ride being closed, though only for a day or two at a time.
