Gangplank Falls
Gangplank Falls Review
Families who climb Mt. Mayday for this ride are in for an adventure—more of an adventure than they might expect. Upon takeoff, a 6½-foot-long inflated raft plunges down the slide with impressive speed. It even gets bumpy at times along the 300-foot river. Not too scary for the tykes, and yet not a bore for parents, Gangplank Falls is great family fun! Those who are pregnant or have heart, back, or neck problems should sit this one out. The inner tubes are heavy, so be sure to have at least two willing carriers. Also, be prepared to ride with two to four riders (five if some are kids).
