Ride Details

Rattlesnake Rapids is a river rapid ride where riders board rafts and float down a mock river encountering rapids, waves, and waterfalls designed to get the rider wet and simulate white-water rafting. Ride vehicles consist of yellow, circular rafts that can hold up to nine riders at a time. The rafts are made of fiberglass with a rubber ring that surrounds the raft to create buoyancy and provide a bumper as the raft encounters other rafts or obstacles throughout the ride. The station of Rattlesnake Rapids is at the highest point of the ride. Riders load and unload using a circular platform that is constantly moving and then enter the river, which flows downhill to large lift that brings the rafts back to the station.

-The line entrance contains plenty of great theming and rock speakers that tell a tale of the rapids while you wait. Also take an opportunity to surprise riders currently enjoying themselves with one of the "blast" geysers that are located in the viewing area of the rapids. You can time the blast and drench the whole raft.
