In July 2007, Dollywood announced the addition of River Battle for the following year. The project also included a 750 ft walkway called Wilderness Pass to provide a direct route between Craftsman's Valley and Timber Canyon. The ride officially opened on March 21, 2008.

Ride
River Battle was the fourth Interactive Boat Rides developed by German firm, Mack Rides. Similar rides, known as Splash Battles, were previously built by 3DBA. Riders boarded one of eight boats which each seated 8 passengers and slowly floated around a 500 ft course. They had to shoot at the other boats and more than 100 targets along their way. The ride boasted an hourly capacity of 800 passengers.
