Thunder Canyon is a river rapids ride in the Country Carnival area of Silverwood Theme Park in Athol, Idaho. The park says it has been running since 1990. It was designed and built by the park itself, with the lift and the round rafts supplied by Hopkins Rides.
Riders sit in circular rafts that are carried down a whitewater river channel through waves and drops. The park puts the chance of getting wet at about 100 percent and says it is routinely voted one of its guests' favorite attractions.
Riders must be 42 inches tall, or 36 inches with an adult.
