River Caves is a Dark Boat Ride currently located at Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK.

History

The ride was refurbished and partially altered by Swiss manufacturer Intamin in 1974. The small drop at the end of the ride was added at this time.

The ride operated for the first weekend of the 2024 season but was subsequently closed. It is listed as closed due to 'planned maintenance' on the park's website.[1][2]
