log flume

Splashing boat ride

A log flume is an amusement park ride where passengers sit in hollow log-shaped boats that float along a water-filled channel, typically climbing and then plunging down steep drops that create dramatic splashes.

The design mimics the logging industry's wooden chutes once used to transport timber downstream.

We got soaked on the log flume.
