I have a website you might find interesting. It has some pictures and information about River Country. You can view it here:
http://rivercountry2004.tripod.com/
Enjoy!
P.S. I actually visited River Country once in 2001.

I visited River Country in 1997, and while I was only 7, I still remember having a great time there. I also distinctly remember those two slides on that rock structure that stopped about halfway down the structure and left you falling into the water. Those were a lot of fun.
Here's a picture of the slides I'm referring to from the site colav10 posted:

Those slides used to scare the heck out of me! I remember I had to be talked into it and was terrified when I was at the top. Of course, once I took that initial plunge I was hooked and had to do it over and over again.
My favorite part was the Boom Swing - if only because of the hilarious way in which its name was said on the in-room videos. Anyone remember that? I wish I could find a copy of it.
River Country (and its neighbor, Discovery Island) were the greatest places on property "back in the day" - you could escape from the crowded parks and truly feel like you were in this world removed from society. I loved them both.

btw im new here so how do you guys get pics next to your usernameup top there?:veryconfu
You just go to the user CP(control panel). Click on edit profile pic. Then it will give you the option of either using a pic you have saved on your computer or if you give the URL for where the pic is located. If you have any ?s just PM(personal message).

I LOVED River Country, we always went there on my trips as a kid. I loved the inner tube rapid ride the best. I would love to think it could come back some day, but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen.
:sohappy: just checking to see if it worked, thanks OldKeyWest

Yeah, River Country is pretty disgusting right now. It looks like they closed it in 2001 and no one has been back since. I think there's some current pictures of it on www.disneypix.com, but don't quote me on it.
Rivery Country was pretty fun, I was always secretly terrified of the boom swing. I looked at the park map on one of those posted websites and I don't remember them having pony rides! Maybe I just never noticed it. :shrug:

here's a direct link to all the Rivery Country pictures on disneypix... They are from a few different years, so you can tell what it looked like when it was open and also what it looks like now.

My older brother went to school with a guy that moved to Orlando and went to work at WDW. He worked the night shift in food delivery and one night picked us up at the Contemporary and we went to River Country with him when the food was being delivered. We had the whole place to ourselves that night and had a great time.

It's sad to see that it's just been left there... How come it closed anyway? I remember reading somewhere that it closed because of something to do with the water? But I could be wrong.
