Snake River Falls is a shoot-the-chutes water boat attraction designed by Arrow Dynamics located

at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. The attraction is based loosely based on a wood packing
company. Snake River Falls is one of two water rides at Cedar Point, the other being Thunder
Canyon.
When opened, Snake River Falls was the tallest, fastest and steepest water ride in the world. Guests
board flat bottom, 20-passenger boats that advance directly onto the lift hill. Upon reaching the top of
the hill, the boats make a u-turn to the left then making an 80 feet, 40 mph splashdown to the
bottom.[1] There is a bridge at the bottom of the hill directly over the ride track allowing guests to get
splashed when a boat hits the water. Snake River Falls was originally supposed to feature an
artificial mountain underneath the ride but these plans were scrapped. [2]
From the ride's opening in 1993 until the 2012 season, Snake River Falls was sponsored by Pepsi.

After Cedar Point switched toCoca-Cola in 2013, the ride now operates without a sponsor.

Incidents[edit]
On Wednesday, July 3, 2013, a boat on Snake River Falls jumped the track after the drop, dislodging
the boat. Riders did not report any injuries. Cedar Point stated the incident was caused by a low
water level throughout the ride.[4]
