* TheArtifact: The reason why there's two separate tracks in the ride's final drop and two unloading stations is because they're a remnant of a plan in the ride's development of it starting off with two log vehicles being conjoined together that would later be split apart in the climax of the attraction (see the Trivia page for more info).

''Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls'' is a log flume ride that's located at [[Ride/UniversalStudios Universal's Islands of Adventure]]. Based directly off of the classic ''WesternAnimation/DudleyDoRight'' cartoons, the attraction is essentially one giant episode of the show, but with a lot more water.
In the queue, guests walk through several locations, including one of Snidely Whiplash's hideouts and a theater where Dudley, Horse, and Nell are performing at. The typical Dudley Do-Right story then takes off as guests witness Snidely kidnap Nell from her dressing room, prompting Dudley and Horse to pursue after Snidely yet again. Guests then board floating log-shaped vehicles and follow the bumbling Mountie and his companion on their adventure to save Nell. In the ride, guests wind up in places like a mine shaft, a railroad (which of course Snidely tries to tie Nell to), a sawmill filled with an unusual amount of spinning sawblades, and another one of Snidely's own lairs before plummeting down a 75-foot drop into an explosive shack.
The ride was originally set to start operating in 2000, a year after the park opened; but budget cuts resulted in many elements of the attraction having to be scaled back, which allowed the ride to move ahead of schedule and open with the rest of the park on May 28th, 1999.

!!Tropes shown in ''Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls'' include:
* AbandonedMine: Dudley and Horse venture into the empty "Wontyabe Mine", where they are met with nothing but darkness...and a bear.
* AffectionateParody: The attraction contains quite a few jabs at the Ride/DisneyThemeParks.
** In the queue line, there's several movie poster parodies hanging on the walls, such as "PAWS", "Saw Wars", and "The Silence of the Hams"
** The queue features mounted animal heads that talk, a spoof of Buff, Max, and Melvin from ''Country Bear Jamboree''.
** The ride opens with a bunch of animals playing instruments, a parody of ''Splash Mountain''.
** Snidely at one point can be seen above Wontyabe Mine attempting to drop a boulder onto the riders, mirroring the scene in ''Snow White's Scary Adventures'' where the Evil Queen tries to do the same thing.
** Just before the first drop in the attraction, riders narrowly avoid getting hit by a train, a nod to ''Mr. Toad's Wild Ride'' [[note]]This was a case of horribly bad timing, as ''Mr. Toad's Wild Ride'' closed at Magic Kingdom just months before this ride opened.[[/note]]
** One of the last scenes in the ride shows Snidely in a jail cell trying to lure in a beaver that has the keys, parodying the scene in ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' where imprisoned pirates are trying to get a dog with the keys to come to them.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: This ride is to Universal Orlando as ''Splash Mountain'' is to Walt Disney World.
* BearsAreBadNews: A vicious bear pops up behind Dudley right after he tells Horse that he can't see anything.
* CantYouReadTheSign: Guests continue past numerous signs telling them to turn back, and in the finale fall into a dynamite shack that has clear warning signs attached to it.
* ChainedToARailway: A staple of Snidely, he ties Nell to some train tracks, along with Horse and Inspector Fenwick.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Nell gets tied to a log and sent towards a sawblade, being yet another one of Snidely's trademarks.
* DidntGetTheGirl: As usual, Dudley does not win over Nell's affections, with the narrator saying, "And so our hero proves that a Mountie always gets his man, but not always...his girl."
* ExcusePlot: Similar to the nearby ''Ride/PopeyeAndBlutosBilgeRatBarges'', the plot here is extremely limited and mostly aims to recreate the most memorable aspects of the cartoon.
* HelpImStuck: In the saw mill scene, Dudley and Horse are trapped inside a log, though they both somehow manage to free themselves in-between scenes.
* HumanCannonball: When she is freed, Nell throws Snidely into a cannon and blasts him away.
* ImpactSilhouette: After Nell fires Snidely out of a cannon, he crashes through a nearby building, as evidenced by a silhouette hole.
* InevitableWaterfall: In one scene, Dudley and Horse can be seen in a boat trying to chase after Nell, not realizing that they're about to go over a waterfall.
* InstitutionalApparel: In the "Alottapoopoo Prison", Snidely can be wearing the classic black and white striped prison suit.
* LiteralMetaphor: When Dudley says, "Horse, it seems I've lost my train of thought!", a train appears and nearly collides with the riders.
* LumberMillMayhem: A large part of the ride is set in an abandoned saw mill, where Snidely attempts to finish Nell off the typical way.
* NeonSignHideout: On one side of the facade there's a giant neon sign that says, "HIDEOUT", on it.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Just after Snidely's defeat, Dudley accidentally sets off a bunch of dynamite while celebrating.
* NoOSHACompliance: Even for a cartoon, the saw mill in the ride is filled with all kinds of blatant hazards that make it no wonder why it's abandoned.
* NoPeripheralVision: When trapped in a log, Dudley is unable to realize that Horse is right behind him in the log.
* NonFatalExplosions: Riders are sent plunging right into an exploding dynamite shack, but manage to come out completely okay.
* OffscreenTeleportation: The characters are able to jump between locations within an absurd amount of time, even by the cartoon's regular standards.
* PlungerDetonator: There's one just before the ride's final drop, which Dudley accidentally puts his foot down on while celebrating his triumph. The detonator sets off a huge explosion just before the riders drop down and create an even bigger explosion.
* PunnyName:
** One of the locations Dudley and the riders enter is called, "Wontyabe Mine" [[note]]Won't you be mine?[[/note]].
** The prison at the end of the ride is named "Alottapoopoo Island Prison" [[note]]A lot of poo-poo[[/note]].
* RailroadTracksOfDoom: As mentioned before, one scene in the ride involves the guests just barely dodging an incoming train.
* RoleReprisal: Creator/CoreyBurton, who replaces Creator/PaulFrees as the voice of the Narrator in the ''Dudley Do-Right'' movie, also voices the Narrator in this ride.
* RushmoreRefacement: Played with. Though Mt. Rushmore doesn't get refaced, the attraction's facade has its own version of Mt. Rushmore, sporting the faces of Dudley, Horse, Nell, and Inspector Fenwick rather than the Presidents' faces.
* StandardFemaleGrabArea: During the queue line, Snidely can be seen grabbing Nell's wrist when kidnapping her.
* WaterGunsAndBalloons: The bridge above the ride features several water cannons that guests can use to spray riders with.
* WidelySpacedJailBars: Snidely is imprisoned in a cell that has bars so uneven that he could easily just slip out.
