White Water Canyon is a river rapids ride in the Rivertown area of Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Intamin built the ride, which opened in 1985.
Rafts carry riders through fast-moving currents in a channel landscaped with towering cliffs, huge boulders, cascading waterfalls and geysers. The park describes it as a raging rapids ride for families and friends, says it is never the same ride twice and warns that riders will get very wet.
The ride sits beside Mystic Timbers, the wooden roller coaster that opened in 2017; the park notes that the coaster's layout interacts with White Water Canyon and the K.I. & Miami Valley Railroad during its ride. The minimum rider height for White Water Canyon is 46 inches.
