Boat ride
Minimum height to ride: 46 inches

Pretty standard rapids ride. There are rapids, waterfalls, fibreglass rocks. The load and disembarking areas are seperate so it wise to leave cameras and hats with a non rider, cause you do not end up where you start.

While this rapids ride was one of the first in the industry, they have totaly destroyed the ride as the years have gone by. There is no climax to the ride as they have totaly removed the cave. They have also done away with all of the gysers, and when there this summer I noticed the popluarity must be way down as they have removed a large amount of the que. NOTICE*** Here in the 2009 season almost every trip I have made to the park this attraction has been closed. And I am at the park at least once a week. Not a nice thing to see in such hot weather. - SC Todbear
