Bugs' White Water Rapids has two lift hills and two drops.[1][3] The ride is the longest operating water ride in the park each season, from it operating from Opening Day to Fright Fest and to Holiday in the Park. During Holiday in the Park, the ride closed for it being transformed to Santa's Castle until Christmas, then it opens back up until the end of the season.
Once riders get on Bugs' White Water Rapids, the flume takes a right coming out of the station. It then began travels towards the first lift hill . After the small first drop, then the flume make an almost complete circle to the right and then takes you up to the second tallest part of the ride. Once at the second highest part of the ride you dip down and curve through turns back and forth along KIDZOPOLIS and over the ride below it. Then the flume will take you to the highest part of the ride at 30-foot (9.1 m). Once at top you go straight down to the water with a big splash. After the big drop the log will travel through more turns until it reaches back to the station, so then riders can depart.
