- 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.
