In fact... I'm partial to any kind of amusement park water ride now that I think of it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791420477284901556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-36243520892666970152009-09-30T03:44:32.048-07:002009-09-30T03:44:32.048-07:00i have always enjoyed this particular ride

I even liked the scents it has when I rode it. Some kind of pine and all that water... awesome ride. IMH it's a better than Splash despite its far more humble budget and tech because unlike Splash, it knows its theme and conveys it well.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-5364688522304670372009-09-29T18:27:13.971-07:002009-09-29T18:27:13.971-07:00Timber Mountain Log Ride isn't just the best r...Timber Mountain Log Ride isn't just the best ride at Knott's--It's the best log ride on earth. Disney's Imagineers seemed to get a lot of inspiration for Splash Mountain from it: The flume curving by the final drop, the drop in the dark, the long climb up a dark, spooky cave...<br /><br />Even with its minimal-tronic figures and crazy stuffed real bear, it perfectly carries its theme throughout. No other log ride actually feels so much like a trip through an old logging camp.<br /><br />It's got so many unique features: A horizontal conveyor belt through a lumber mill, "dark ride" gags like the toppling barrels and water that *almost* pours on your head...The dark drop, the underground waterfalls, that great moment when it feels like you're "surfing" on a surge of water through that long underground cavern. The final drop is gorgeous, and the the waiting line takes you behind a huge, raging waterfall!<br /><br />Perfect amount of splashing, too.<br /><br />Did I mention I like this ride? :)Rich T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01218280822336323825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-52626282294545577392009-09-29T00:14:20.556-07:002009-09-29T00:14:20.556-07:00Didn't a portion of the rockwork in one of the...Didn't a portion of the rockwork in one of the tunnels fall down in recent years?TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-72622578724738809292009-09-28T22:17:46.216-07:002009-09-28T22:17:46.216-07:00Love the Timber Mountain Log Ride - a Log Ride sou...Love the Timber Mountain Log Ride - a Log Ride sounds like fun to my ears!<br /><br />How is it holding up?
