History
In 1986 a huge project was undertaken by Alton Towers, 10 acres of land was re-formed and tonnes of land and rubble removed to make way for a new water ride. The ride was formally in an area called Aqua Land but this was renamed to Katanga Canyon in 1992 when The Runaway Mine Train was installed.

) Needs a bit of a revamp, a paint job, it needs something to brighten it up. The ride itself is brilliant, just watch out for water splashing up your back.
