This water ride is so neat! My friend and I waited almost an hour to board the attraction. At the time Knott's wasn't sure they would be opening Calico River Rapids. When the sun came out, at around 1130 they announced the ride was being filled with water and undergoing testing. @Knott’s Berry Farm my seatbelt lapbar was worn out and the Velcro wasn't sticking to my seat! Please repair boat 21 and any other rafts that need new seat restraints. I loved the animatronics here, and the underground tunnel was super neat. #thingstodo #placestogo #didntfeelsafe #knottsberryfarm #southerncalifornia #orangecounty #themeparks #placestogo #thingstodo #huckleberryfestival #calicoriverrapids #familyfriendly

If you're visiting Knott's Berry Farm, the Calico River Rapids is an absolute must-ride, especially on a hot summer day. Be prepared, though, as the lines for this popular attraction can be quite long, often exceeding an hour. However, the wait is well worth it. The ride itself is a thrilling adventure that promises to get you wet—anything from a light splash to a soaking. To keep your belongings safe and dry, there's a convenient compartment in the center of the raft where you can stow your items. This thoughtful feature ensures you can fully enjoy the ride without worrying about your phone or other valuables getting drenched. Calico River Rapids is not just a ride but an experience filled with excitement and fun. Its twists, turns, and unexpected splashes make it an exhilarating journey. I highly recommend this ride if you're looking to cool off and enjoy some water-based thrills in the heat of the summer. Just remember to bring a little patience for the wait, as it's a popular choice for many visitors. Overall, Calico River Rapids is a fantastic way to beat the summer heat and add some excitement to your day at Knott's Berry Farm.

This was a fun but short ride. The wait was even worse. It took us an hour and a half to get through the line. There were many people trying to cut through the line making the wait even longer. They need more help on the moving deck to get people loading on and off so it could be more organized. Many rafts went down empty or have full which caused longer wait times. They need to stack more riders together. We had people join us on the raft. More help and organization is needed on this ride. Including the person in the tower controlling the rafts entering and exiting there is lack of communication there. Hope they get some help with this ride. It’s fun and you will get wet.

Calico River Rapids is a river rapids ride in Ghost Town where riders float down a raging river on a circular raft, passing by animatronic wildlife and scenery. The raft has a small compartment in the center where riders can stuff belongings they want to protect from the water. However, note that this compartment is tiny and you'll share it with the other passengers.

The raft spins and moves quickly with the current and riders WILL get wet - anywhere from mild splashes to completely soaked 💦 Definitely a fun ride but consider the time of day when you decide to hop on as you'll likely be wet after this ride!

Wait time is generally...
