Description

Amusement Park dishes up a boisterous ride as the river narrows down to a tight gorge and the water zig-zags and richochets off the walls. If you're in sync with the zigging and the zagging the ride is fun. If you're out of sync, watch out for a couple corner pocket eddies that are surprisingly stong and can detain you against the vertical rock walls as you struggle to regain the main flow.

There's a short lull in the rapid after its narrowest part and then one more part where the river drops over a rocky ledge before you're done.
