Construction
Water flume track supported by box-section steel supports. Boats are propelled up slopes on rollers, and they are then free to travel along the water channel at their own pace.
Special Track Sections
- Reverser Turntable - allows log flume rafts to traverse the track backwards (Corkscrew Follies and onwards)
- S-bend left/right
Constraints
- Maximum track slope - 25° (60 in RCT3)
- Maximum height above ground - 39 feet
Other Information
Log Flumes must be designed carefully, or they can go on forever. A Log Flume's only speed comes when it goes downhill, otherwise it goes at the boring pace of 2-3MPH. Use the slow times to develop a theme, and then climax with a big drop to keep guests coming back.
