Ripsaw Falls (Islands of Adventure)ĭropping a whopping 75 feet, Dudley Do Right’s Ripsaw Falls takes riders through the cartoon themed ride that features one of the longest drops. It is, in fact, the fourth oldest amusement park ride in operation. However, it’s notable simply for being the first. There’s nothing especially thrilling about the ride itself – it’s not the tallest, fastest or steepest. Some of the most notable include: El Aserradero (Six Flags Over Texas)Įl Aserradero is the first ever log flume ride, opened in 1963. It’s hard to go to an amusement park without seeing a log flume ride. Today, there are more than 50 log flume rides at amusement parks across the United States. Louis Six Flags was being built, they actually built two right from the beginning. The first log flume was opened in 1963 in Six Flags Over Texas, and it was so popular the park added a second one in 1968. That daring spirit would inspire what is the modern-day log flume ride. Still, some daredevils would "shoot the flume," for an afternoon thrill. While loggers occasionally rode logs down the flume to perform safety checks and ensure the flume was working properly, log flume riding was dangerous. Log rides were inspired by the flumes that were used to move logs from mountaintop sawmills to railroad depots using the flow of water and some good, old-fashioned gravity. They have become an essential component of most amusement parks because they are a familiar aquatic thrill ride that continues to entice new riders.
