Rattlesnake Rapids is a river raft ride designed to transport park guests down 1/3 of a mile of lightning-quick water. Rattlesnake Rapids is located at the east end of Pioneer Village. Up to nine people can ride on a circular raft that carries them through rapid white water, rising swells and splashy waterfalls. The rafts travel in everchanging directions, from left to right, backwards and forwards, and up and down. Rafters should expect to get wet, maybe even soaked!

The river channel is built of concrete and white water effects are created by the placement of specially designed barricades and obstacles throughout the waterway. Don't forget to watch out for the waterfalls and other surprises on this swirling, swooshing, splashing, thrilling, white water rafting ride.

At the end of the turbulent river, the rafts are guided onto a wooden conveyor lift and are brought up to the revolving platform where guests are unloaded, and new guests are loaded, while the platform constantly rotates.

Rattlesnake Rapids is included with Ride and Season Passports.
