River Quest

River Quest is the rafting ride in the Mystery themed area. Since 2002, the round boats have been spinning here through a ruined castle full of waterfalls and rapids.

The concept

You ride in a round raft for six people. A vertical lift takes the boat up to 22 metres high, after which you descend over three levels. The scenery is dark and rugged, with towers, rocks and cascading water.

The Experience

Because the boat spins freely, you never know who will get hit by the wave. There are three drops and plenty of rapids. Boarding and disembarking is via a moving walkway.

Spectacle on the water

River Quest is one of the wettest and wildest rides in the park. Plan it for a warm day and bear the winter closure in mind.
