Concrete water slides and skatepark
Rainbow Rapids was part of a larger complex that included the waterslide park, convenience store, omelet restaurant, and gas station that cost a combined $600,000. The waterslides were built first, and then after about three months of construction, the skatepark was opened.
The park's terrain included a 300 foot snake run with bowl, moguls and freestyle area, as well as something described as a “tube and slalom combination.”
