I remember at the end of the ride I was getting off and I slipped back into the water. Not even joking. A man jumped over the barrier in the queue and pulled me out .
I'd die of fear the second i touched the water. I have a big fear of the water in water rides like this. Well, not the water itself, whats UNDER the water scares me. All those pumps, gears, jets, raft blockers..
Did they have ride announcements about the waterfalls as the boat goes round, it said something like 'this ain't no Jungle Cruise skipper, time to face these waterfalls head on' or something along those lines. This seemed to indicate it was going to be a permanent switch back on
Great video, but what a disappointing ride! The theming is abysmal. Ooooh let’s go through a dank, grey tunnel! 🙄 Could have made this so cool with jungle theming!!
There were waterfalls and more rapids but people kept standing up to avoid getting wet, so it's all been removed and is more like a lazy river now. There are rumours the waterfalls are coming back this year though, many thanks for watching
Yeah, it has been toned down over the years, we have footage from about 10 years ago and it was a lot better, but there have been a few accidents on these types of rides so it's a gentle river ride now
Why is it that almost all of these rides have some variation in one way or another around the country, like Thorpe Park. Seems like the only original ride location is Blackpool Pleasure Beach these days? Even Thorpe Park's Stealth is faster than Rita which is a bit slower than a 1000cc motorcycle 😂
Merlin own the biggest parks in the UK, so they have some similar rides between those parks, Blackpool is independent and puts up a different variety of rides to the others. Stealth was the fastest coaster in UK but Hyperia is reported to be now slightly faster

I love when the runaway mine-train coaster goes through when a river rapids boat is going by.
Yeah, I know what you mean, hard to explain but its like a special moment
Oh no that poor kid at the end falling over 😂
Congo was running so so so good this year, still one of my fav rides 🌊🌊❤️❤️

Wow, that is not good, glad you are ok and hope it hasn't put you off going on rides

that’s not the rides fault man it’s your for not seeing the floor 🙃
🤣🤣
Ha ha
I'm just glad they're using the 2000's Katanga Canyon music
This ride looks and sounds like a relaxing ride.
They have just turned the waterfalls back on after many years so might be a bit wetter these days.
@@PlanItParkwasnt on for me:(

@@PlanItParklast time i went i got “brace yourselves, the congo’s giving us everything she’s got!” Or something along those lines, so it varies
It was really fun
Nice pov 👍
One of the best rides in the whole park.
Can you do Andy’s Adventures Dinosaur Dig next? i havent seen any footage of the show yet but the others i saw
We will do our best to get some video from Andy's Adventures for you, many thanks for watching

@@PlanItPark yessss waterfalls will be back summer, they were meant to be in this season, but due to storm Eunice it caused damage inside
This doesn’t look great compared to the one at Thorpe Park?
Rubber dinghy rapids bro
