FLUME RIDE

In a three-and-a-half-minute ride, five-passenger boats shaped like hollow logs are propelled by rushing water at 10 feet a second along a channel of steep inclines and sharp curves. The ride winds up with a breath-taking splash as the "logs" whisk down a 45° slide into swirling rapids.

* Admission: 95 cents.

* Hours: 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.

LOG FLUME RIDE

A trip on a water-borne roller coaster ends with a big splash into swirling rapids.

Passengers take a three-and-a-half-minute ride in small, four-seat boats in the shape of hollowed-out logs. They are propelled at 10 feet a second along a lively series of inclines and sharp curves, and finally shoot down a 45° slide into a whirling, eddying pool.

Admission: 75 cents; children, 50 cents. Hours: 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.
