Snake River Falls is a shoot-the-chutes water ride attraction located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Designed by Arrow Dynamics, the ride opened to the public on May 8, 1993.[1] Its theme is loosely based on a wood packing company, and it is one of two water rides at Cedar Point, the other being Thunder Canyon.
Snake River Falls debuted as 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 82-foot-tall (25 m) hill, the boats make a U-turn left into a 50-degree splashdown drop at 40 mph (64 km/h).[2] A bridge sites at the bottom of the hill directly over the path of the ride providing spectators a view up close and the opportunity to get wet. An artificial mountain was originally planned to sit underneath the highest point of the track, but the idea was later abandoned.[3]
From the ride's opening in 1993 until the 2012 season, Snake River Falls was sponsored by Pepsi.[4] After Cedar Point switched to Coca-Cola in 2013, the ride now operates without a sponsor.
