Wild West Falls review by Richard

by Richard, 8 years ago
Rated 4.0 Hands down one of the best themed attractions ever built in Australia; it's ambitious in every sense. You won't be wowed with a strict plot, but the immersive theming is filled with numerous nods to the western genre of film.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

Effectiveness Amazing

Intensity Very High

Its backwards drop and a towering final drop give this family ride some particular intense thrills.

Rider Comfort Very Good

Just watch out in that backwards section turnaround as you'll get a nasty jolt.

Pacing Amazing

The ride experience ticks all the boxes and offers a good, long ride experience that builds to a fantastic climax.

Theming/Storyline Very Good

The theme is some of the best ever seen in Australia. The ride eschews plot in favour of an experience that celebrates archetypes of the western film genre.

Upkeep/Presentation Very Good

For such an ambitious attraction it's not surprising that nearly 20 years in action has seen some areas of the theme feel a bit tired. At the same time other areas like the now towering pine trees only gets better with age.

Queue/Efficiency Amazing

Great capacity ride with a simple loading system that works well without being overthought.

Splash Factor Very High

Sometimes you'll get a drenching, but most of the time it's just the right amount of spray, whether riding in summer or winter.
