The Wild Thornberry's River Adventure
One of a handful of attractions that opened with the park,
The Wild Thornberry's River Adventure began life as the "Powder Keg Flume."
As part of the Nickelodeon retheme in 2003, the ride was renamed and some
thematic elements were placed around the beginning and the end of the ride.
The majority of the ride wanders through the trees, leading up to a 44 foot drop at the end. You'll get wet, but it's nowhere near the drenching you'll get on other water rides like Whitewater Falls or, if you're in the lucky seat, Rip Roaring Rapids.
And again, let me take a moment to remind riders that you go on a water ride to get wet. Ducking to avoid a splash is acceptable behavior. Bringing on a parka is lame.
