Information

Cedar Point

Thunder Canyon at Cedar Point is currently the oldest opperating ride of its type. Every night the ride is drained and new water is added every morning before opening. The ride also closes every year in September to be transformed into CornStalkers. There is an observation deck in which people can watch riders get soaked by the water falls.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom

Thunder Canyon is located along the back path leading to Wildwater Kingdom.

Valleyfair

Thunder Canyon is one of two water rides located at the park, along with The Wave.
