Raging River is a river rapids ride in the Fest Area of Great Escape in Queensbury, New York. Built by Intamin, it opened in 1986.
Riders share rafts that float through rapids, turns, rolling waves and bubbling sections; the park rates it a moderate family ride. Riders must be 48 inches tall to ride alone, or 42 inches with an adult.
