Island Falls is a shoot-the-chute water ride at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia. Built by Hopkins Rides, it opened in 1999, according to Wikipedia. The park lists it among the rides of the theme park, separate from the slides and pools of its water park area.
Boats are carried to the top of a tropical-themed cliff and then plunge down a 50-foot drop into a splash pool. An observation deck, added when the ride was reworked, lets onlookers get drenched as they watch family and friends take the plunge. Riders must be at least 36 inches tall.
The ride was originally called Blackfoot Falls. It was renovated and renamed Island Falls beginning with the 2020 season.
