Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari closing Raging Rapids ride

SANTA CLAUS — Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari announced Wednesday that after 33 years it has closed Raging Rapids.

The raft ride was guaranteed to leave riders soaked as they took a thrilling float through Boulder Canyon, a flooded Western town.

“We know this attraction means a lot to our guests, and it does to us too,” the Facebook post read. “While this may feel like an ending, it’s just the beginning. We intend to return the sound of laughter to Boulder Canyon as soon as we possibly can.”

The theme park did not state a reason for the closure.
