The Timber Mountain Log Ride is a log flume water ride at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, United States. The ride is one of the oldest log flumes in the United States and is the most popular ride at Knott's Berry Farm.[1]
History
Timber Mountain Log Ride opened on July 11, 1969 with John Wayne on its inaugural ride. In January 2013, Knott's Berry Farm announced the ride will undergo a five-month renovation. They will renovate the ride's automated figures and sets and add new scenes and characters. The ride's theme of a 19th-century lumber camp will stay.[2]Garner Holt Productions will be doing the renovations. The ride will close January 6 and is expected to reopen Memorial Day weekend.[3]
Ride
Originally known as the Calico Log Ride, it takes riders through a 330-foot long mountain with a theme of a 19th-century lumber camp. The ride is housed in an eight-story building that contains 24,000 gallons of water and finishes in a 42-foot free fall.[4]
