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!
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.
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.
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!
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°
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.
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.
Warner bros movie world was amazing. Never ending story. Loony tunes. Batman. Gremlings. That vulcano and the cool stunt shows. Such a shame they had to go
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.
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.
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❤
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.
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.
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
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'm back a year later to say, "Do you like boring stationary scenery with an overly loud soundtrack that has nothing to do with Excalibur, being passed off as "theming", then this is the ride for you!" - That said, I still stand that outdoor theming is utter garbage, but the indoor theming is great. Enough so that I'd still want to ride it just to be sure it sucks outside.
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
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?
circular rafts need spinners wheelers which spin the raft so others can see the scenery- I pitty the travelers who's back is to the exciting view which were seldom, but would make the experience more enjoyable.
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".
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
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
@@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
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!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
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
I adored this! The story of King Arthur will never get old to me. Great music and story telling!
....what?
Woah, rapids ride that starts with indoor part. Amazing!
It's pretty good. Kind of quiet in places and could benefit from some additional movement.
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
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
Beautiful ride! I wish I can experience this movie park one day.
very well made ride, definitely invokes the imagination, great work germany
Die Attraktion ist echt gut gelungen!
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).
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.
Very beautiful 😍👍
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°
This is so awesome place!
That was so good.
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.
Great job on the POV. Usually river rapids POVs are hard to watch because the camera spins around. Ride looks super fun too!
It seems it’s like the longest rapid river raft ride. Lol
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 RUclips.
Incredible. I think the water getting in the mic only adds to the immersion of the video!
Really well done!
I like the trees with thair scary faces!👍
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..
Warner bros movie world was amazing. Never ending story. Loony tunes. Batman. Gremlings. That vulcano and the cool stunt shows.
Such a shame they had to go
This ride, is one of my Life greatest moments and unforgetable
honestly this looks like something I would've hastily thrown together as my first ride in Planet Coaster or something.
This is awesome! So many cool rides outside the US!
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
Well yes it got after the remoddeling better but it was my alltime favourite when it was the Neverending Journey ride.
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.
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.
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 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
Overall I'm loving the design of this ride and the detail of the texter amazing theming.
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 )
3:55 My ears got unclogged by water
I liked this ride a lot more before the retheming. It used to be themed to The Neverending Story.
Nice park
Whats going on with the themeing here?.... it's all over the place.
2:23 made me jump & flinch!
very cool, but is it all lit up and cooler at night?
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❤
nice to know:
in old times (about 2000) that ride was based on "never ending story"
I just like water ride their fun.
Wow 🎉
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.

I want to go to Germany now
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.
I still miss Falkor in the beginning after the hilllift, back when it was the neverending story.
Damn ur cam got sniped by that water 2:24
😍😍😍
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
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 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.
Do they need to do some yardwork or is the overgrown look part of the theming?
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
don't let that fool you! there's more where that came from :)
the stationary set designs seem like a missed opportunity to add some action adventure to the ride
Wow, seems like the ride probably takes up the whole park
This looks fun but that sea serpent triggers my Submechanophobia something FIERCE!!!!
I love to hear all kinds of languages
This would be epic if you rode it at night.
“Kobe!!!”- Sprinkler
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.
Those tiny screens? Really?
The outdoor theming is lackluster. Needs more lights even in daytime, needs more animations and water features. Indoor is great however.
I'm back a year later to say, "Do you like boring stationary scenery with an overly loud soundtrack that has nothing to do with Excalibur, being passed off as "theming", then this is the ride for you!" - That said, I still stand that outdoor theming is utter garbage, but the indoor theming is great. Enough so that I'd still want to ride it just to be sure it sucks outside.
Could you please never cut videos? We want the COMPLETE experience, including "tedious hallways"
ahhhhhhhh my right ear at 2:24
Is this at Epcot at Disney World
Man this ride used to be so much better
what is this I haven't heard of it 😊
Anybody can please let me know Where this place is????
It is in Germany in Bottrop.
Cool but I wouldn't say the best
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?
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
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?
Ou my love
This ride would of look cool with animatronics
circular rafts need spinners wheelers which spin the raft so others can see the scenery- I pitty the travelers who's back is to the exciting view which were seldom, but would make the experience more enjoyable.
May bien
Remembers of Neverending Story.
I still think grizzly rapids at california adventure might be better themed.
La atención al detalle es increíble, aunque que aburrido sería hacer el viaje solo.
Where is this.
Movie Park Germany, its right in the title
Preferred it when it was themed to The Never ending Story.
ahahahaha jungle rapid ride
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.

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
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?
Still a cheap overlay of what used to be Neverending Story. Slap a beard on Pyornkrachzark and you have a brand new stone giant.
This could of been so much better. Its less of a rapids ride and more of a boat ride.
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…
Can you do universal studios hollywood transformers the ride 3d in the front row
Too bad for the TV screens on the ramp up wall.
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
