The concept

You experience the gold rush in the most refreshing way possible. The river winds between lush greenery and rock faces. Along the way you have to dodge all kinds of waterfalls. According to the park, there are also secret waterfalls waiting to surprise you.

The Experience

The current keeps flinging the boat in a different direction, so hold on tight. Gunmen keep an eye on you from their hideout and fire water pistols at you. Check your pockets at the end: the water might have left a gold nugget behind.
