History

River Battle was announced in July 2007.[1] It opened on March 21, 2008 and closed on September 4, 2017.[2] River Battle's station was re-used for the Plaza at Wilderness Pass, an event space added in 2018.[3]

Guests stood on large boats which navigated an underwater track. Guests would use water cannons to shoot water at targets placed throughout the course or to shoot at other guests.
