![]() None of the rides are up to date, and some are just ridiculous (like the battering ram and the other rides in the Italy section that are on a lower level than any local carnival). While I am sure it is fine if you live in VA, I do not think anyone should plan a trip across the country to visit it, especially not if you are a theme park junkie. Many rides like Roman Rapids didn't even seem to have a theme at all and the European villages were nothing compared to Epcot. To me, it looked dingy and old, and not in a themed rustic way. Is it more beautiful than Epcot? I have read reviews about how clean and well-themed it is and I'm just baffled. Do people claim that it's beautiful because there are so many trees? I just don't get it. I don't see what is so beautiful about it. I was very excited to see "The World's Most Beautiful Amusement Park." I guess I will start there. ![]() When DarkKastle opened, our market was inundated with ads for the park and I decided to finally trek out to VA for four days. I love Busch Gardens Tampa and have always wanted to go Busch Gardens Williamsburgh. I love Six Flags and even Knotts Berry Farm. I got to both Florida and CA Universal and Disney parks. I have been to almost every other major theme park at themepark insider. Additionally, the exit path from the ride may cross over or go near to the flume, such that departing riders are drenched by the boat currently en route.I am a theme park junkie. Water cannons (typically coin-operated by passersby) aimed along the path are sometimes installed alongside the flume. To increase the probability of being soaked, the flume can be designed to be turbulent, or to run underneath waterfalls. Log flume rides usually consist of troughs with one or more drops. "Log Chute" at Mall of America's indoor park Nickelodeon Universe contains sections within a large rocky structure and some out in the open. Disney's Splash Mountain consists of a single trough running in a continuous circuit through the middle of a show building with Audio-Animatronic scenes playing on the left and right of the main flume, with only the largest drops and a few turns positioned place outside the show building. Enclosed flumes are sometimes referred to as river caves (such as the "Niagara Falls" flume ride in Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Malaysia) to set them apart from typical log flumes. Log flumes are generally out in the open, though some may contain enclosed or tunneled sections. The oldest existing ride of this type of is Boat Chute, constructed in 19, located at Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The chutes ride consists of a boat that slides down a long chute and splashes into a lake. Log flumes are a variant of the chute rides that were popular in the United States in the early 20th century and that continue to be built today, usually called Shoot-the-Chutes. Walter Knott and Bud Hurlbut ride the Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knott's Berry Farm in 1969 Log flumes are now a staple at many amusement parks. Another notable log flume is Splash Mountain at the Disney theme parks, based on characters in Song of the South. The designer, Bud Hurlbut, drew his inspiration from stories of lumberjacks riding logs down rivers. The ride proved to be so popular that a second separate flume was opened in 1968. The first log flume amusement ride is said to be El Aserradero ("The Sawmill" in Spanish), built by amusement company Arrow Development (later known as Arrow Dynamics, and now part of S&S/Arrow) in 1963 at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas.
