The Mad Mouse roller coaster that entertained guests for decades at J's Amusement Park is no longer operational, having closed 22 years ago. Its place is taken by the River Rat, a new glamping resort called River Electric located outside Guerneville. The resort features modern amenities including a large central pool and tents for rental. Local events have been organized to attract nearby residents, creating a lively atmosphere that contrasts sharply with the amusement park's former attractions, like the iconic wooden roller coaster.
The Mad Mouse is dead! Long live the Mad Mouse. The rollicking roller coaster at J's Amusement Park twisted through the redwoods by the Russian River for decades before permanently shuttering 22 years ago.
Now, a more congenial rodent represents this 12-acre floodplain outside Guerneville. It's called the River Rat: a logo - and lifestyle - created by the River Electric, the latest glamping resort to appear along these rural riverbanks.
On a Tuesday afternoon leading up to the Fourth of July, after years of development, festivities at the River Electric were underway. Children waded into the central 60-foot-diameter pool as parents relaxed along the edge.
Its ruins are now replaced with a pair of pools, dozens of canopy tents for overnight rental and a mobile kitchen preparing a signature $40 hot dog that's served with caviar.
