Log Flume

Few rides create more anticipation than the log flume.

Most of the ride is calm. You float past scenery. You cool off. You wonder whether you're actually going to get wet this time.

Then comes the drop.

The splash at the bottom is one of the most satisfying moments in any amusement park. It's thrilling enough for kids, fun enough for adults, and refreshing enough to justify riding multiple times on a hot day.

Unlike many attractions, the log flume appeals to almost everyone. It isn't the scariest ride. It isn't the fastest ride. It might be the most universally enjoyable.

When fans rank amusement park classics, the log flume is always near the top for one simple reason: it never disappoints.
