	Coaster Kingdom > Alton Towers > The Log Flume > Our Thoughts
		The Log Flume was the park's first custom designed ride, weaving its way through the woods, and taking its riders well away from the crowds into an area of dense woodland.
		Log Flumes have become a standard amusement park ride, to the point where visitors are likely to be shocked to visit a park and find that there isn't some sort of flume on offer.
		The station is more the type you'd associate with a rapids ride than a Log Flume, using a moving circular platform, covered by an ornate roof, probably in a desperate bid to fit the Merrie England theme.

	TowersTimes.co.uk : Alton Towers : Log Flume
		Once the longest Log Flume in the world, this ride was basically an aquatic rollercoaster and was based on Canadian water chutes that are used to transport logs from forest to riverside.
		In the early 90s the previous white metal station was clad in wood and in 1996 the dinosaurs were removed again.
		By 2003 the Log Flume was in much need of a makeover, 2004 saw the log flume re-themed around bath time for a more fun themed experience.

		The flume was a V-shaped trough with sides almost a yard high at the upper elevations, increasing to four feet near the bottom of the mountain, where the water pressure was greater.
		As the flume entered the main river canyon, the grade of the flume became quite steep.
		Before entering the flume, logs were trimmed into planks, allowed to dry, and then clamped together in blocks 12 inches square and 18 to 28 feet long.

		It seems as though log flume rides are all over the place these days.

	Lewis and Clark's Columbia River - Broughton Log Flume, Washington
		The 9-mile-long, 1,000-foot drop flume was the last operating log flume in the United States, floating lumber from Willard, Washington, to a mill at Hood, Washington, a rail station 2 miles west of Bingen.
		Other flume mills in the area didn't fare as well, for once their areas were cut out there was no backlog of government timber tributary to their sites.
		Their lumber was flumed down the Catherine Creek drainage to a barge landing on the Columbia, later to an S. Railway siding when the North Bank Line opened in 1908.

		The "logs" then float around the curving flume, carried forward by the the water, which is actually traveling slightly downhill.

		In 1983 the park began calling the ride by the rather more apt name of the Log Flume, and in 1984 the ride received it first external theming, in the form of the Dinosaurs which had formerly resided in Dinosaurland in the Springfield Centre.
		When Aqualand was disbanded in 1992, the Log Flume became part of the new Katanga Canyon area of the park, despite the flume being quite some distance from the hub of the area.
		In 1996 the Dinosaurs were removed from the around the Log Flume, and its possible that it was at this point that the Flume was finally reintegrated into Merrie England, the area which eventually replace Aqualand.

		When the log flume originally opened in the 1981 season it was the longest in the world but is now an “old ride” and in need of not just some fixing but a complete makeover, as there are many holes in the track and water leaks absolutely everywhere!
		The log trains are then taken up the biggest hill lift and you see a sign saying ‘smile for the camera’ so you know what’s going to happen next.
		So all in all the Log Flume despite its age is a great family ride, no Splash Mountain or Hydro but an excellent ride on a warm, summers day.

	Flume Information
		A flume is a waterwork with open water table, that leads water from a diversion dam or weir completely aside a natural flow, often an elevated box structure (typically wood) that follows the natural contours of the land.
		These have been extensively used in hydraulic mining, for the transportation of logs in the logging industry, electric power generation and to power various mill operations by the use of a waterwheel.
		In competitive swimming, specialized flumes with transparent sides are often employed by coaches to see exactly what a swimmer is doing wrong.
