Congo Falls is a shoot-the-chutes water ride in the Action Zone area of Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Intamin built it, and it opened in 1988 as Amazon Falls; it has carried the Congo Falls name since 1999.
Boats nearly 16 feet long, each carrying up to 20 passengers, climb above treetop level and glide along an 815-foot water trough past a geyser pool. The ride ends with a 50-foot waterfall drop into the lake below, and the splashdown sends a wave over riders and over onlookers at the exit and observation deck.
The park's minimum rider height is 46 inches.
