Congo River Rapids is a whitewater rapids ride in the Congo area of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, manufactured by Swiss company Intamin. It opened in 1982, sending twelve-person boats down a racing river past water jets, waterfalls and a water cave. Riders must be at least 42 inches tall. It remains one of the park's classic water attractions.
