  1. Where the speed comes from

    The flume opened November 15, 2024, in Bayou Country. Wikipedia says the 52-foot drop reaches 40 mph, and that Disneyland's show scenes are paced faster than Florida's.

  2. The number on the row

    The 40 mph is the drop, an estimate, because the park page does not say miles per hour. The faster show pace is not given its own number.
