===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-
*It is easy to overdo a ''Log Flume'', making extra-long ride times. Make sure to not have a ride time any longer than 4 minutes, otherwise guests will get angry.
▲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.
==Notes==
Weirly, in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]], the ''Log Flume'' is considered a [[roller coaster]].
