A really entertaining theme and playfield - combined with great sounds and one of the most spectacular toppers ever.
There is a nice flow to the shots here. The whole play field is really well thought out, even if I find that the falls-ramp and circle loop takes up a little too much territory here. Lighting is spectacular and the playfield really creates a colorful impression which connects very well with the theme of rafting and adventure.
I´d imagine the lastability to be pretty good with this game in a home enviroment, especially when in company with 2-3 other DMD games.

All my reviews are going to follow a simple formula for those reading.
Number of shots to make - Pro's - Con's - Must Have Mods - What To Look For When Buying
Number of shots - 7 - above average
Pro's:
* Shot flow is fantastic in this game, it's all about shot making
* Insanity Falls ramp one of the top 5 in all of pinball
* Bigfoot toy a cool feature
* Pops disguised as boulders
* Wizard mode start is unbelievable
Cons:
* Animations are weak (don't bother with a color dmd)
* A pain to shop out
* Locking balls for multiball quite easy
Must Have Mods: (Note I will not include things like LED's, Color DMD, Invisiglass or Speaker Upgrades unless it's really badly needed)
* Cliffy Protectors for boulders and ramps
* Insanity Falls decals
* Protectors for lock targets
* Bigfoot light mod
What To Look For When Buying
* Broken boulders
* Wear outside the Lost Mine hole
* Broken disaster drop ramp near targets
* Wear at the drop point from the VUK

Whitewater was one of the final “Top 30” games that I got around to adding to the collection. What a solid pin! Fun family friendly theme. Love the flow. Not an overly difficult pin, but a blast to play. I seem to enjoy it more and more each time I play it.
Classic mid 90s Williams pin.
Highly recommended!!

This game is a blast to play, I love it when the ball taps the glass. I’d own one in a heartbeat.

I love pinball with good ball flow and White Water is one of the finest examples. The upper playfield is one of my favorites. Great variety of shots. I don't really connect with the theme personally, but it's still a fun theme and is represents itself very well. Great ball flow on the ramps. All around, this is a very fun pin.

Another pin which is way too overrated imo.
Theme is just decent, playfield artwork is horrendous, and the music-sounds-call outs are perhaps the worst and most annoying in all of pinball.
Granted the ramps are plenty and fun but they massively clutter the playfield and all in all there is something that just doesn’t quite work with this pin.
I’ll let everyone else have fun with it I guess !

One of my absolute favorite machines of all time! The flow is ridiculously fun. Best use of a third flipper- EVER! The music changes up and gets more complex as you progress. The ramps are a hoot and the game seems pretty fair when it comes to the shots.

What a great game. The music, the callouts, and animations are incorporated very well. The 3rd flipper is incorporated very well. The ramps are great. Doubt this one will leave anytime soon. Goes even better with beer and friends.

It's hard to call a borderline top 20 pin underrated, so I won't. That being said, I've always felt that this pin is better than alot of the stern rock and roll pins that populate the top 10. This is one of the most enjoyable pins i've ever played. I absolutely adore the theme and cant understand reviewers that knock it. A roaring sasquatch? River rafting call outs? Everything about this game is just fun. The animations are incredibly entertaining, the modes are fun, the upper playfield is a blast, and once you get into bigfoot hot foot mode this thing really lights up. I get a kick everytime the ball shoots down the left playfield ramp and knocks the glass. If you find one with a working topper, turn off the lights and tuck in for a great light show. "INSANITY FALLS!" "WHIRLPOOOOOL!" When youre playing the game the callouts are great, but if you're just hovering in the background i can see how they might get repetitive or tiring, but that's an incredibly minor critique. Anyway, bottom line: GREAT PIN. One of my top 10's for sure.

Love the ramps in this game. Just super fun to shoot, and they are super smooth. I don't care about the theme too much. It's a bit wacky and I like having Big Foot in it, but otherwise the theme doesn't appeal to me. Artwork package is a bit meh to me. Not bad, just not appealing. The sounds and music are good and upbeat and high energy and fit the flow of the game. And the game just is fun to shoot. I love ramps, and these ramps really were something to hit.
I played this game the first time ever at a pinball expo, and I must say when I first hit the long left side ramp, it wowed me. And no other games that weekend ramps wowed me like that one. Also a fan of the whirlpool ramp. And I like the skill shot. This skill shot is a 2 part skill shot. First a nice soft plunge and then you need to hit the right ramp with the upper flipper. I like games with true skill shots. And this one is a really good one. To me its the right balance, between attainable and difficult. The animations were good and kept the energy of the game going. And just in general, what a really fun game to play and shoot.
I didn't think I would like this game that much, but I was wowed by it. It's just a shame a switch stopped registering on one of the ramps, otherwise I would have played it more.
