LAUNCHED LOG FLUME: Catapult Falls, Intamin Water Ride, SeaWorld San Antonio

A new take on the Log Flume, Catapult Falls uses a belt to launch riders over a hill. 4K On-Ride Front Row, Catapult Falls new water ride at SeaWorld San Antonio, TX, USA. This log flume uses some trench segments of the previous Arrow-built flume attraction, and adds a vertical lift and launch with two 'airtime' hills. The trims on the hills unfortunately are a big hit, and they do affect the ride experience. #catapultfalls #seaworld #sanantonio #texas #rollercoaster
The ride features a nice steep drop and themed music and setting, a great addition to the park!

    Looks quite boring, and not a big soaker. They managed to put TRIMS on a flume! Now these airtime hills look like they don’t do anything lol. At least there’s the launch and lift that are somewhat interesting. What is your favorite log flume ? Mine is currently Menhir Express at Parc Astérix, wich zips at a good speed through its layout, feels like a river rapids ride most of the time, and has two good drops that get you soaking wet. It does lack a bit of proper theming though.

    I once rode the log ride at Busch Gardens and the log stopped at the top and the water turned off. They sent someone to help me get down. When the person is about to reach me the water randomly started and I feel back into the log as the log soared all the way down the slide. I could have fallen to my death but there I was. Scary and thrilling at the same time! Don’t know if I’d ever ride that again though!!

    So say a boat is on the elevator lift and it is on it's way to the top and a bunch of kids think it's funny to try to wobble it. I'm not seeing any guiderails or anything to prevent lateral movement on that section. Ever since the Shoot the Rapids incident I've been very suspicious of Intamin's water attractions.
