Located in the Spain section, the historic ride is known as El Aserradero (The Sawmill). Created by Hollywood scion Warner LeRoy, the parks mission from the very start was to be the biggest and best theme park with record-breaking thrills, spectacular shows, and unique experiences that could only be found at Great Adventure. The first-ever log flume ride debuted in 1963 at what is considered the first regional theme park: Six Flags over Texas in Arlington. Six Flags Great Adventure has been the premier destination for family fun in the Northeast for over 40 years.
The Log Flume was the longest log ride constructed in the world at that time and it was accompanied by a giant 'Conestoga Wagon', an over-sized log cabin restaurant called 'Best of the West' and a huge Western Fortress.
In addition to plummeting down a hill, riders get soaked – or at least a bit wet – when the vehicles hit the splash pool at the bottom. Six Flags Great Adventure is an amusement park located in Jackson, New Jersey. Typically, conveyer belt-style lifts bring the vehicles up a hill, and then gravity and the water's current keep them moving through the flume.īut unlike roller coasters, which usually unleash their biggest drops near the beginning of the ride, flume rides save the suspense for their finales.

Mimicking timber floating downstream to a lumber mill, passengers sit in hollowed-out “logs” and meander along a winding flume. The boat did not complete its cycle and the log flume ride was closed for a full inspection after the incident, which happened around 6:30 p.m., according to Six Flags Great Adventure. The concept of the amusement park staple is fairly straightforward. JACKSON TWP., New Jersey - Two people were taken to the hospital after an incident this past weekend on the log flume ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey. They have not been around as long as roller coasters and carousels, but log flume rides have been thrilling – and dousing – visitors for decades.
