Whitewater Falls
Whitewater Falls at California's Great America
The ride provides an intense rush—first ascending a 45-foot waterfall before splashing down and creating a 20-foot wave of water. The splash creates a multi-faceted effect. Whitewater Falls riders in the front and the back of the boat get a little wet. However, the real fun is watching the 20-foot wave of water launched towards the observation deck and seeing unsuspecting onlookers take the brunt of the tsunami!
In addition to the wave created from the drop, riders need to beware of the geysers situated to the side of the ride that propel water at unexpected angles.
This shoot-the-chutes style ride thrills 20 guests in every boat and is a favorite for the entire family!
