Thunder Canyon

Thunder Canyon
This ride operates Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
Whitewater rapids can be one of the most unpredictable forces of nature on our planet. And when you ride down Thunder Canyon, you’ll find yourself at the mercy of one seriously erratic river. Riders will sit in a large family-size raft and float down the canyon while encountering rocks, rapids, waterfalls, and a ton of monster splashes - there’s no avoiding getting drenched! The real fun is guessing which side of the raft will be soaked around the next bend in the river. It could be your side, the other half, or everyone!
If you manage to escape the rapids and waterfalls dry, guests are lined up along the course ready to fire water soakers in case the river doesn’t do its job. When the Minnesota summer sun is at its peak, the perfect way to cool down is a trip down Thunder Canyon and its outdoor water adventure. Find this ride at the back of the park next to Excalibur.
