The entrance to the queue was originally located where the path to Katanga Canyon starts in Mutiny Bay today, meaning that the ride was hidden from view.

This was changed when Katanga Canyon was built in the centre of the rapids circuit as part of John Wardley's plan to open up the area.

A brand new soundtrack was also created which changes as boats pass through different elements of the ride, including a reference to the waterfalls.

There are now also multiple "Please remain seated" announcements as opposed to the original one, this is believed to be in an effort to reduce the risk of riders standing up during the ride.

The rapids effect of the water is largely achieved by the placement of wooden blocks secured to the bottom of the ride's concrete channel.

There are also three "Wavemaker" machines placed at strategic points around the ride however these are now isolated due to safety concerns.
