Timber Mountain Log Ride

The Timber Mountain Log Ride is the oldest log flume in the western United States, opened in 1969 and dedicated by John Wayne. The ride sends you up through a mocked-up logging camp inside a wooden mountain and ends with a drop and a soaking splash. The interior animatronics — bears, miners, a hillbilly band — were refurbished in 2013 and brought back the Calico Cuckoo and other characters from the original ride.

It's one of the gentler attractions and a favourite for families. Expect to get fairly wet on a hot day; the first row takes the worst of it.
