The rapids was indeed the Atomic Breakers. It was slides/rapids mixture from what I remember back years ago (I'm only 13) It was like about 2000-2002 maybe. You are in a raft a lifeguard would push you through a small pool then a very small slide/waterfall would take you to another small pool. It would continue until the final slide makes a turn into the splash pool with the "Wild Thang". If you pay attention when you depart the Wild Thang's pool, you will hear the announcement mention the Atomic Breakers. Also, you'll see a very large pile of small rocks with the slight outline of a concreteish slide. Thats the atomic breakers! If anyone has the reason to the why behind the removal please post it! I loved the ride. It would probably be boring now.

What was their rapids section that is now covered in dirt. They pretty much just buried the whole thing. That was one of our favorites. It was pretty relaxing.

If you again pay attention to the pile of dirt next to wild thang. The ENTIRE slide is still intact, the only thing they did was throw some dirt over it! It took 1 person per pool to help out because after the slide and into the mini lagoon/pool, they would have to push you to the next slide. A super similar ride is Jungle Falls at Ocean Breeze, Virginia Beach, the only thing is the one at WC was more bland. But the point is look after the picnic area/in front of where you get your tube for wild thang. You can still see a concrete pad (maybe) where the loading area was, then everything else is entirely buried. As in my last post the slide is still very visible, but its under a pile of rocks. Hope this extra info helps!
