Grizzly River Rampage was a River Rapids ride built by Swiss manufacturer Intamin previously located at Opryland USA in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

History

Grizzly River Rampage opened on June 6, 1981.[1]

After the ride's closure, its components were sold to Premier Parks. The conveyor belt systems were transported to the site of Old Indiana Fun-n-Water Park in Thorntown, Indiana, USA, where they were never used. [2] The rest of the components went to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, where they were subsequently used on on the park's Penguin's Blizzard River which opened in 1999.

Troughs and rockwork for Grizzly River Rampage remained at the former site of Opryland USA for several years after the park's closure.
