Adventure Island's log flume ride. The Raging River was removed to make way for Rage, a Gerstlauer Eurofighter roller coaster.
The log boats fit up to 5 people in, and followed the course from the station around a curve and through a small hut with a dripping roof, then round on to the first lift hill and the first drop. After this was another curve and the second hill, the second drop accompanied by the camera for on-ride photos. On hot days, you'd see people enjoying the designated splash area at the bottom of the second drop. The boats then travelled round another bend, through a tunnel and into the station to end the course.
The ride has been taken to Norway, where it is believed parts will be used to make a smaller log flume.
