Some of the targets shoot back while others
display a variety of special effects,
creating surprises at every turn and ensuring
that no two rides are ever exactly the same.
River Battle also engages park guests
along the ride's banks.
While rafters are soaking each other in
raft-to-raft sparring, they also can "shoot"
observers along the way in "raft-to-shore"
fun. In the park's ongoing effort to provide
opportunities to bring families closer, River
Battle is yet another ride addition that
allows parents and children to ride together.
"When I was a kid, me and my brothers and
sisters used to sneak away and start up a
river battle of our own, but I never dreamed
that kind of childhood fun would end up
creating a great ride like my new River
Battle," Dolly Parton said.
With an hourly ride capacity of 800
passengers, River Battle is located just
beyond Dollywood's Mystery Mine steel
coaster, which was named 2007 Best New
Attraction by themeparkinsider.com.
Dollywood,
a 130-acre family adventure park, offers more
than 40 rides and attractions; award-winning
live entertainment featuring country,
bluegrass, gospel and mountain music; and a
dozen crafters authentic to the East
Tennessee region.
