Opened in 1984 as Marriott's last ride and was originally named White Water Rampage. It has some 25 cent water blasters for those who don't want to get wet which are fun.

This ride is not terribly fun, and if you're (un)lucky, you can escape getting wet. Riding it is only fun if you're a fan of water, but the views from inside the raft and the theming is excellent. During Fright Fest, it is Blood River, with the water the color of blood.


Overall 6/10

This ride is really fun especially in the hot summer days. They have water cannons, waterfalls, and rapids of course. Too bad, sometimes some waterfalls get shut off, but what can you do.

8.5/10

Did the end waterfalls ever make it over the boat like at Cedar Point? Since I have been going (2005) they have never made it over the side. The only Place they have a decent waterfall is before and after you enter and exit the cave. Blood river has been stopped since before 2004 I think i would love to see this make a come back. There have been some days in October Most notably in 2007 where there were some pretty warm days. I love the ride but it does need to be a wee bit longer. And once again have more rafts on the ride waiting in line for an excess of 2 hours is fucking ridiculous, the kicker: I was only dampened after waiting all that time I would have been wetter if I got a glass of water and threw it at myself. but I definately ride this 2 3 as much as 4 times in a day if the lines allow.
