After an elaborate teaser campaign, Cedar Point has announced that their new for 2010 ride will be Shoot the Rapids. The Intamin water ride will feature two drops (85 ft. & 49 ft.), 2,100 feet of flume, and will have a ride time of approximately three minutes. Shoot the Rapids will use ten passenger boats with over the shoulder lap bars that were seen this year on Holiday World’s Pilgrim’s Plunge.

According to the Cedar Point website, the $10.5 million ride will be based around a feuding family in the Appalachian Mountains: “The feudin's been goin' on fer decades. Now, climb aboard and immerse yourself in one of the wildest water expeditions this side of the Appalachians!

“You'll board your boat inside the Crystal Rock Bottling Company and travel through rivers, around an illegal moonshine still and encounter some wild feudin' and fightin'. We still have no clue what they're fightin' over (it could be Whyte Lightnin'), but yer sure to be a part of it!”
