It opened in 1982 and was located in the Frontier Town section of the park near Mean Streak adjacent to the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad.

As part of the Frontier Town area of the park, White Water Landing embraced an Appalachian river ride theme.

The revolving station featured boats alongside a rustic warehouse before they turned along the edge of a lagoon and approached the ride's first lift — a conveyor that gently elevated the canoes through a mine shaft and splashed them into a faster section of river.

Canoes alternated drop chutes, then skimmed the hydro-jump before floating alongside the lagoon as they returned to the station.
