Log flume

They may have taken this out by then, but...

The Dudley Do-Right Log Flume.

Oh, it's so much fun.

It's

So that's the one where you're sitting on a chair, spins round, goes to a great height and then comes down at great speed.

And the second one was for Log Flume.

I think we all know what a Log Flume is.

And that covered an area of 600 square metres.

Actually, heritage issues are cropping up again in this one.

Okay.

Well, this is certainly a rather more colourful kind of development than the usual fare that we discuss on these episodes.

I've got to say that the log flume sounds a bit more up my street than the first one.

So there's, like, various National Parks posters, and they have one for this fictional Texas Splashdown that we took a selfie with.

And this, of course, is a reference to the Arrow Dynamics log flume, Texas Splashdown, that ran in this exact spot from 1991 to 2011.

And I did not know this.

Sean actually mentioned it, and I thought this would be a perfect way to, to start the episode.

But apparently, this log flume was not even original to the park.

I had assumed that it was built with the park.

Um, but it was a fairly new flume, despite being relocated.

It started life as the Grand Rapids log flume at, uh, Boardwalk and Baseball, which is a regional park, uh, in Florida.

I didn't see the, I didn't play the video, but I saw images of this.

You know how when you go down a roller coaster or if you're at Log Flume or wherever, if you're at Six Flags or however it is, and they take your picture right as you're going down one of the hills and it takes your picture and it's a fun memento for family.

Well, it literally caught this guy falling out of his seat.

Like that's what they got.

They probably wanted to make it seem like they – but they came from probably down the tracks that go towards – No, they came from

– like if you're going to Log Ride, so that

pathway.

Oh, they came from over there.

It's really bad.

I forget, they lost Sand Serpent, they lost Scorpion, they lost the Log Flume, they lost Kumba.

And they have got nothing.

Sound a bit like Universal.

There's a place called Funtown USA here.

They have this ride called the Log Flume.

It's a log that goes up, hitches up, and then it goes all the way down.

When you've been on the Log Flume a bunch of times, when you're hitching up, you're bracing.

That's what I was listening to the second time I was bracing.

I was like, all right.
