Log Flume (4K) POV - Lagoon Amusement Park
Log Flume is a water ride located in Pioneer Village. Riders travel in a log-shaped boat around a level tree-lined waterway at a slow speed. After a minute and a half journey, the boat is lifted to the top of a 30-foot hill by a conveyor belt. At the top of the hill, the boat suddenly tips downward into a water-filled chute and races back down, causing a large splash when it re-enters the waterway. Riders are seated inline in two seats that fit 2-3 people.
The ride was manufactured by Arrow Development in 1968 and was originally installed at Pixieland in Oregon in 1969, and was bought by Lagoon and installed in 1975 after Pixieland had closed down.
Much of the ride's rustic theming was not originally part of the ride when it was in Oregon. When Lagoon installed the ride they added split-log paneling to the ride's edges, log-cabin like structures and a wooden waterway with a waterwheel that serves no functional purpose. The waterwheel is actually turned by a motor and not the small amount of water falling into it.
At one time Lagoon had presented plans to the Farmington city council that included an expansion of Log Flume, as well as a new rapids ride. Rattlesnake Rapids was eventually built with a different layout that does not allow for the proposed extension of Log Flume.

I wish I went in time for it.
I know alot of people may have not been crazy about this one but I loved this ride. Whenever rattlesnake rapids was too full this one was always a good second. It's just a nice and relaxing log flume.

So sad it's gone
I rode it over 40 years ago. This time around we did all the coasters (just last week). Lagoon has a pretty impressive lineup for it's size. And always adding more.
Starts off so slow and calm. Really like this ride.😊
This is my home park. I’ve been on this so many times haha. I’ve seen people get absolutely drenched and some people come off dryer than they went on 😂. I think it has to do with the weight of the people in the front of the log. I will warn people though that on a hot day this line can get huge and takes much longer than Rattlesnake Rapids, so if you’re looking to cool off go with the rapids or the splash pad fountains near the entrance.
This was the ride you got on as a little kid cos rattlesnake rapids was too scary lol
I love lagoon because it is my home park I love this ride and rattlesnake rapids but the line does get super long so go to the rapids and the log flume right when you get there because then your cool the rest of the time
Rip Log flume 1969-2022

Very Cool. I love Lagoon
Sad that it's gone. It was one of the better make out rides.
I really like the slow build to the big drop.😅
Was there a couple weeks ago and it was closed. Couldn't even see it actually, everything was overgrown
RIP log flume 🪦
I waited 20min to go on that I wish it had a bigger splash
great ride
Yes
More Like a Relaxing Ride
This ride is really short for a super long line of people
I might have been on that ride as a little girl but I don’t remember. Hopefully I can go on that ride sometimes when covid is over though!

Too bad they took it down 😞
Opening in summer
Unfortunately ride is being torn down this winter
I remember that ride at the lagoon and also do they still have it at the lagoon
Rumor has it that they MIGHT be building a bigger log flume that goes closer to rattlesnake rapids, but you can never know because it's just speculation
So sad to see it go, I hope they replace it with a new one.
it got closed
ive ridden it a few times and i was sad when i learned they dismantled it
This ride got demolished recently to make room for a new ride. The rumors that are floating around suggest a minecart themed roller coaster or dark ride. Maybe a mix of the 2

I’d… not like that. I hate the idea of that. They don’t need another dark ride considering they have 3. I feel like they should add another hanging coaster like the bat but bigger for older people that don’t like the bat. There needs to be another thrilling ride. Primordial was a good addition to the dark ride experience at lagoon but we don’t need another. This is just my opinion. And it have it Minecart themed? Why? I don’t get it.
You will be missed 💔
That did seem like the boringingest log flume I've ever seen. Need to get that thing up in the air asap to thin out the water. Either that or I was spoiled with our flume and keel boats

Nah, it’s a lazy river type ride. Great for a park. Look at the difference between Coal Cracker and Tidal Force at Hershey Park. Two entirely different purposes.

It's closing 😔
Ok so I can understand that it's called log because the carts are made to look like real logs but what the Hell does the name called fume come in

It's not necessarily for the thrill. More for the novelty of an old classic and cooling down when it's 100° or more.
