    Description

    River Caves is a classic love tunnel-dark ride. The ride shows scenes from all over the world, several of which contain narration over the audio. Riders leave the caves with a splash.

    Originally known by the name 'River Caves of the World'. Scenes of the ride have been changed multiple times.

    History

    Built in 1904 and operating since 1905, River Caves is one of the oldest dark rides in the world. However, the scenes have been changed drastically over the years.

    Intamin revised the ride system in 1974, during which the drop near the end was added.
