Silver Dollar City | Mystic River Falls | River Rapids

[peep]

Looks like a great upgrade to the rapids that used to sit in that spot. Love the concept art they released.

When parks promote something as the biggest in the Western Hemisphere

Its actually better than saying best in the state; UK, etc but still sounds a tad lame.

Love the logo and just in general another reason for me to fawn over SDC.

Is this a brand new rapids or an upgrade of the old one? Also, is this RES' first rapids?

It's brand new, the old one was completely ripped out. I don't think they even left the station in...

Nice little video here:

That was so Silver Dollar City, I love it!

I adore water rides, and love watching them being built, so this is geek heaven for me!

It will be interesting to see how this rides as a rapids, considering it will be a first for RES. I wonder how it will compare to Intamin rapids in terms of waves and splashes.

It’s not the first Rapids they’ve built, they’re not very well known, but they’ve built a few, the rapids at Fårup we’re theirs for example.

According to the ewrdb, that's made by Bear Rides.

Yay I love the looks of this! Rapid rides are probably my favourite non-coaster attractions at amusement parks despite my loathing for getting soaked, and this one looks like one of the best. I am excited to see how construction pans out, that drop looks wicked.

That looks surprisingly ferocious - awesome!

Giving me Infinity Falls flashbacks.

Hello Mystic River, I like your water features.

Giving me Infinity Falls flashbacks.

Yep I'm hopeful this can beat out infinity for my no 1 rapids. For me it's about the wave action soaking as I think excessive water effect based soaking (Popeye) is cheap

It looks beautiful! Having some serious rapids envy right now
