A new expedition in an uncharted territory awaits explorers with the debut of Calico River Rapids, opening at Knott's Berry Farm in 2019.

Knott’s white water raft ride, currently known as Bigfoot Rapids, will undergo a major renovation with the addition of many new features to the attraction including new animatronics, themed show scenes, a new story overlay and plenty of dynamic water effects.


Calico River Rapids will take voyagers on a search for new land through the outskirts of Calico.

Park visitors will encounter a variety of wild surprises along the way, such as roaring rapids, and indigenous wildlife.

The circular rafting ride, which seats six passengers, will traverse through unexpected twists and turns, rushing waters and rapid currents as it navigates the unexplored river path.

All the new animatronics and special effects for the attraction will be designed and manufactured by Garner Holt Productions, who previously worked on the refurbishments of the Timber Mountain Log Ride and Calico Mine Ride.

Calico River Rapids will open at Knott's Berry Farm in Summer 2019.
