Rock N River is an outdoor facility which operates at the mercy of outdoor conditions. Due to severe weather, Rock N River may be forced to shut down attractions for the sake of safety of patrons and team members. Rock N River will offer a rain pass upon request for severe weather shut downs of the entire facility for the day. Rain passes will not be issued when there is a sighting of thunder or lighting causing a short delay in operations. If operations shut down for the entire day due to severe weather, rain passes will be issued upon request. We do not offer refunds. In the event the park is shutting down for the remainder of the day and rain passes will be issued, they will follow the following criteria: If the park shuts down before 3:30pm, a full day pass will be issued upon request. If the park shuts down after 3:30pm a half off pass will be issued upon request. No rain passes will be issued after 5pm.
Even with best efforts and diligent maintenance practices, sometimes things out of our control happen. When unforeseen events force a closure to an attraction we will continue park operations with lowered occupancy rates for our water attractions. This means we may need to limit the amount of people allowed in each attraction at one time to ensure safety. In 2016 Rock N River underwent a multi-million dollar overhaul tripling the capacity of the park. We are able to safely accommodate the following amount of patrons in each area: Splashville – 500, The Quarry – 171, The Watering Hole – 338, Lazy River and surrounding attractions – 600.
