I came across this picture on the web and just couldn’t resist adding it. Although the digital frame is a bit dull, it does somewhat evoke the ride’s theming of being trapped in a (DOS based) computer virus. It sure doesn’t look like “the world’s only backwards roller coaster in the dark” had the intended effect on these riders however

As much as I’d love to experience this ride for myself the odds of me geting to England before it’s removed are slim.  The rides already twelve years old, much of the theming has been removed, and its target audience (teenagers) never really seemed to be fans anyway.

We’ve been getting a lot of searches for log flume photos lately, so I thought I’d break from Disney and bring you this really cool photo folder from The Flume at Alton Towers.  Having never been to England, I can’t review the ride myself, but these people doseem to be having fun, don’t they?

Personally, I am just absolutely in love with the cool folders they have over on that side of ‘the pond’.  Under the logo the folder says-

 Log Flume Rider

This is to certify that

[NAME]

has traveled the longest Log Flume in the world covering an area of over 5 1/2 acres of woodland inhabited by giant prehistoric animals, traveled along 850 yards of wild waters, navigated 2,500 square yards of lake area, and survived the experience.

It’s then signed by the park’s Chairman and Chief Executive and dated.
