Theme
The ride is themed to the sewers, with a walkthrough portion at the beginning of the ride. This walkthrough is very reminiscent of the old walkthrough portion for Rat Ride in Lightwater Valley. The ride contains a few effects, such as lasers and an encounter with a Metro. The ride used to ride through a slime covered metro station, but this scene has been removed at some point.
On Halloween, the ride gets a overlay, becoming Bloody underground, featuring Scare Actors in the walkthrough and featuring music during the ride, this music was removed in 2019 however.
Etymology
"Rioolrat" translates to "Sewer Rat".
