Description:

(Opened February 2001)
FASTPASS Attraction
The story has it that when the gold ran out, a new enterprise was formed and the Grizzly Peak Rafting Company came into being. The result, the Grizzly River Run, is the wildest, wettest raft ride in the West. The six-passenger rafts start with a 45-foot high climb up Grizzly Peak, with drenching drops to follow. You'll race down a California river through white water rapids, mountain caverns, waterfalls, and to a dizzying drop into the river gorge. There are two drops, the final one being the Grizzly-Go-Round. Guests drop 22 feet, while the raft spins 360'. Each ride is unique, but one thing is certain, you will get wet.
Restrictions: Inaccessible to strollers. Must transfer from a wheelchair/ECV. Closed captioning. Height requirement: 42" (106 cm) or taller.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	You get WET!
Cons:	You get WET!

I have been to most amusement parks in CA, and GRR has to be the best river rapids ride out there. The themeing is great, and you really feel like you are floating down a river in the Redwoods of CA.

Just know that you will get wet, some more then others but it is all up to chance. They do have free lockers outside to put your things in. We made sure we had a flip flops to take on the ride then put our shoes and socks back on afterward. These lockers are free as long as you are back in two hours or less, and even on a hot day I have not seen the line be more then that.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	One of the best rafting rides in the business
Cons:	You can get soaked! No place to put cameras

Use Fastpass!!! This fastpass ride is not connected to the network, so you can get a fastpass even if you are not due for another one. On hot days, the line can be well over an hour, and that line crawls. Among my many trips on this ride, I calculate the chance of you getting wet is 50/50 - the chance of you getting completely sneaker-squishing wet is about 25%. This ride does not have a place to keep things dry, so be careful with cameras and phones. The themeing is awesome, and two drops are a lot of fun. The last drop actually spins you (when it's working) around as you drop, adding to the excitement. Watch out for the geyser at the end!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Fun, you will likely get wet
Cons:	You get very wet

This is the best water ride I've ever been on. It is creatively made. Don't bring any valuables on the ride. You get wet, you may get soaked. It's a lot of fun as you cruise down the river. The geysers at the end are cool too. Friends not on the ride might get you.
