* Appears at the Edge of the World in Dreamwork's ''SinbadLegendoftheSevenSeas''.

* Appears in the trailer for Disney's version of ''Sinbad''.

* This appears in ''GoldenSun'', which has a FlatWorld.

* The titular location in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean: At World's End''.

* The titular location in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

* The world of ''TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' has this feature described in some detail in ''Voyage of the Dawn Treader.'' Continually sailing to the east doesn't bring you around to the west again, but to The End of the World. If you go over the edge, you end up in Aslan's Country--a kind of FluffyCloudHeaven, since most people who arrive there die first.

* TerryPratchett's ''{{Discworld}}'' has the ocean falling off all sides of the Disc, but "[[{{Handwave}} arrangements are made]]" (it's probably quantum). There are even people who take advantage of this and have put a net around the edge (the "circumfence") to catch floating items for salvage.

* This appears in ''GoldenSun'', which has a FlatWorld.

[[AC:{{Western Animation}}]]

* ''{{Aion}}'' has some of these in the aptly named Abyss.
* Outland in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' has both small floating islands with waterfalls on them, as well as a few places where water falls off the edge of the world.

* {{Wizard101}} has a lot of these because of the ShatteredWorld setting

* May appear on floating islands in ''{{Minecraft}}''.

* ''ChronoTrigger'''s Kingdom of Zeal, of course. Oddly enough, walking around on the surface of 12,000 B.C. you can't find any torrential downpours falling out of nowhere... so probably the wizards living on the floating continent [[AWizardDidIt have something worked out]].

* Mentioned in one of the {{Myst}} books - Catherine's specialty in world-designing is using her imagination to create seemingly impossible worlds. One of hers is a small flat world, with the ocean endlessly flowing over the edges, and she's played with the gravity so that it arcs around falls back ''up'' through the center of the world and replenishes the supply.

* These are all over the place in ''SkiesOfArcadia'', where TheSkyIsAnOcean but most every FloatingContinent has a river or two.

* The Beach Bowl Galaxy in ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' has this. On multiple levels.

[[AC:MMORPGs]]

** Also Necropolis(es?) and their derivatives in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' and ''WarcraftIII'' has slime waterfalls flowing out of them.

* The vaguely Sonic-like and so-cute-you'll-vomit SNES platformer [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYzaFSfaWAo ''Rainbow Bell Adventure'']] had plenty of floating islands with waterfalls in the background.

* TerryPratchett's ''Strata'' had a different disc-world made by AncientAstronauts terraformers, which (IIRC) had a hidden system to pull the water back up.

* In OnePiece, during the [=CP9=] arc, the main judicial building Robin is being held in is on a [[FridgeLogic island hanging in the middle of an abyss by a narrow section of land far too frail to actually support it]]. The abyss is in the middle of the ocean, which drains eternally into this bottomless pit.

* The Hallelujah Mountains in ''Film/{{Avatar}}''.

*Outland in ''WorldOfWarcraft'' has both small sloating islands with waterfalls on them, aswell as a few places where water falls off the edge of the world.
