::The Wild Thornberries River Adventure Fact Sheet::
The Wild Thornberrys River Adventure is a splash-filled experience based on one of the most-watched shows in kids' television, Nickelodeon's The Wild Thornberrys. Seated in dugouts, brave explorers cast off for a surprise-filled excursion through the wilderness. Floating through the forest, adventurers encounter a storage shed filled with mysterious explosives, a homemade coconut irrigation system and a creepy snake bridge, sure to rattle even the most seasoned explorers. As if that isn't enough, their experience continues as they navigate their way over a thrilling 40-foot waterfall and meet explorer extrordinare herself, 12-year-old Eliza Thornberry who is perched on top of a water-spraying elephant.
