Kali River Rapids is an attraction at the Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The ride is a river rafting ride through the themed rain forests of low-land Nepal. The journey takes a frightening turn when passengers encounter illegal loggers who have destroyed the landscape and filled the river with debris. In this ride you go down a waterfall in which you may get very wet. It is similar to Grizzly River Run at Disney's California Adventure.

Before the ride opened in 1999, the ride was originally going to be named Tiger Rapids Run.

The warning sign at the entrance of the Kali River Rapids warns guests that the ride is very wet.

[edit] Incidents

The ride was briefly closed on May 29, 2007 after five visitors and one employee were minorly injured as a result of a loading platform malfunction^[1]. See Incidents at Disney parks for more information.
