Roaring Rapids is a river rapids ride in the Tower section of Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Intamin built it, and it opened in 1983. It shares the Tower section with the 325-foot Superman: Tower of Power drop tower.
Riders sit in rafts that hold 12 people each and float down a whitewater course that the park describes as playfully rough. Along the way, waves and buckets of cold water splash the rafts, so riders can expect to get wet, and the park suggests wearing flip-flops for the ride.
The park rates it a thrill level 2 ride, well below its big coasters and towers. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall, or 36 inches when accompanied by an adult.
