FEATURES

The Log Ride is an entirely new concept in rides. Riders, in boat shaped like hollow logs, are whisked through a flume by the force of rushing waters. They travel 11 feet per second through the winding flume and finish with a splash, as the logs scoot down a 45 detree slide into a lakelet of swirling rapids.

There is also an Orange Julius Stand and two snack bars.
