Abstract: An action river water attraction is provided comprising one or more water rides connected to a river loop, wherein the flow of water from a connected ride empowers the flow of water in the river loop. The rider enters a connected ride and then enters the river loop to experience rapid effects. They may then continue to ride the loop until the rider is ready to exit, or can enter into another connected water ride directly from the river loop. A rider can experience the thrill of one water ride and then enter the river loop for an extended amount of time. Various special effects such as lateral flow shears, differential flows at junctions and turns, boils, eddies, whirlpools, backflows and hydraulic jumps. In this manner, the endless river loop serves as the queuing area for riders who are waiting to enter connected water rides.
