Grizzly River Run
Grizzly River Run is the rapids ride of Grizzly Peak. In a round raft for eight people, you travel along a churning river deep in the mountains of California. Along the way, a hefty drop awaits.
The concept
The grizzly bear is the symbol of California: the land of high mountains, giant trees and thundering waterfalls. According to an old legend, Grizzly Peak was once a giant bear, Oo-soo'-ma-te. The coyote A-ha-le turned him to stone so that he could guard the mountain. Look up after the ride: at the summit you can see the bear's profile.
The Experience
You start gently on a calm river, past the rusty remains of an old mining company. Then you head up to the top of Grizzly Peak. After that things get wild: you bob and spin through the current, shoot through a rocky cave and plunge down a steep slope. On the way back to base camp, spouting geysers still await.

You will get wet
You will really get wet on this ride. Bring a poncho, dry clothes or a towel.
Use the lockers
There are lockers next to the bear statue at the entrance, which is more than 6 metres tall. The first two hours are free. Store your phone and camera there.
Single Rider
Don't mind sitting apart from your group? Then use the Single Rider queue. You fill up empty seats and often wait less.
Visitor information
You must be at least 107 cm (42 inches) tall. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or older. The ride is included in Lightning Lane Multi Pass and there is a Single Rider queue. Rider Switch is available. Disney advises against the ride for pregnant women and for people with high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, or motion sickness. If you use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, you will need to transfer; there are special transfer areas.
Cooling off in Grizzly Peak
Grizzly River Run is perfect on a hot day. Listen carefully during the ride: you might just hear the spirit of the great bear roaring above the river.
