That's quite a relaxing ride experience. Most other log flume rides have loud music and sound effects blaring, but this is nice and peaceful.
That's so deep water throughout the ride mate. Good ride, thanks 😊
I used to love this ride so much! I was terrified of the one at movie world but I enjoyed this one a lot! Sad that it’s closed and abandoned in the park
I went on this 12 years ago when I visited Australia for the first time it was old glad it has been reopened but sadly with new effects old ones removed just goes to show that nothing is the same anymore oh well.
That looks like a lot of fun! I'd love to go there. Nice theming.
Hahahahahahaa
too bad its closed now
This ride brings back happy childhood memories for. I first went on this ride when I was 7yo in "87".
Take a trip away from your everyday take a Dreamworld one day... you can fly, you can scream, you can make a splash & you can dream...
Where's the gumnut fairy lady?
Same. I was there in the 80's as well although I'm a few years older. I remember driving those cars (ones guided on rails that did about 3 KPH tops) as well.
The park was a lot smaller back then and a lot simpler (no tower of terror / giant drop *I like both of those rides*
I first went on this when I was 4 in ‘84. I was terrified of that tunnel with the coloured lights and animatronic crocodile, and then I was made to go on it again later that day, so I closed my eyes nearly the whole way! 😂
When I was a little kid the drop at the end always used to scare the shit out of me, and one of my ‘triggers’ was the ominous noise the rail system makes at 3:08
I remember this ride being so quiet and having to force a conversation with my friend because it was getting awkward lol
Loved this ride so much! I always went on it with my family and cousins!
looks amazing and awesome
Wow that sounds really safe going up that big hill lol
don't worry the conveyor belts at that park haven't killed that many people.
Cool ride
Man there used to be so much more life in this ride.
I remember the overhead section at 1:50 had a Triceratops with extremely loud audio.
The 90's were definitely the best period for Dreamworld, now the rides are 20 odd years old and failing.
I don't think this ever really had much of an atmosphere to it outside of some semi interesting aesthetics.
If you want a log flume with atmosphere in Australia, Wild West Falls will always be number 1
Here in New Jersey we have 6 Flags Great Aventure and they have a good log flume ride
The lighting was added in light of 5 people dying on another ride, so the park was inspected and a whole lot of other things got pulled up and fixed...
Yes the rides are 20 years old, hence why wipeout has been closed, and why these rides have been updated and refurbished.
I went on wipeout shame it’s gone the claw might still be there did that one as well they also had the big brother stage attraction not sure if that still there either.
They added bars to the ride now it did not ever have them.
So sad that this closed down. This was a family favourite, as my sister just moved to Alice spring while we in Queensland and we would go on this ride every single time we went to this place. Just sad :(
Kids got decapitated is why.
@@carnthecorby No one died on this ride, only 1 idiot stood up on it and hit his head, thats why they added the roofs
Nice video!
Didn't this used to have more theming and decoration? Even cobwebs would add atmosphere.
Awesome scenery
I Really Hope they Made it More safe, With What Happened Last Time....
There was a trick. If your the front passenger when going down hill for the big splash and you lean forward and the person behind you gets soaked. There face is priceless especially if there family
I remember at 1:49 there was a skeleton hanging on the top and also further down at arounf 1:57 there was another enclosed area with diferent coloured lights and a Fake crocodile where it's jaw moved and had audio of a roar. was more creepy back in the late 80's and early 90's
All the added generic lighting in the final lift hill is a joke. Dreamworld are too petrified of anything happening in dark. Plus the jury-rigged safety canopy just makes the logs look like Flintstones cars.
My sentiments also. Lmao
spiders mate
Agreed. It doesn’t give me a log flume vibe at all. Quite upsetting
It did when I rode it but it was closed and refurbished after an accident with the water thunder river had an accident. That was the one I went on but no longer exists.
I went on. The Thunder rapids river ride on that fateful day and saw people getting blended. Never would I go back to this theme park.
Now it's gone again... Forever this time.
These log rides kind of remind me of the one the old elitch gardens amusement park used to have.
I went on that yesterday and I got soaked af😂
I thought they were going to de-commission this along with rapid
Welp, they have now
@@tric0art yessir
@@tric0art now it’s not a thing
I have been on that ride when I was five now I’m 12 so looking back on this is crazy how different it is you should search up what it was like back then
if you wonder what the smell is coming from water it's "BROMINE" a chlorine alternative it's not as bad on the eyes
"Tresspassers persecuted" Who made that sign up...lol
It's not there no more. Do you think it will come back ?
825 no like. Thanks for sharing and lovely 😊
This log ride was always scarier going up the final drop than coming down LOL.. it's disorienting.
This ride is asome
they've added bars on this ride which makes the log boat looks like a floating Dune buggy, don't blame them after 4 guest been killed.
sad really that use to be an awesome ride dreamworld has gone so far down hill from what it use to be even before the fatality
back in the 90s and early 2000s to me it was as good as movie world
You realise 11 People DIED painfully on that Ride Right!?
@@fantasii_ryy747 4 people died ? What are you talking about?
The movieworld Wild West falls log ride has more theming to it
Seems like a lot of side to side hitting the walls....the better log flumes don't do that.............Beautiful scenery!
I’d rather go on Wild West falls, this seems too short and doesn’t have much scenery/ animatronics
Agreed. The overall feel is so boring.
WELL ITS CLOSED PERMANENTLY NOW SO YAY
@@lordparmesan3341 movie world is where the fun is too many good stuff are gone from dreamworld now tower of terror was the last good thing
It used to have a lot more decorations and stuff
Agreed and I’m going in a week!
It’s like the lamer version of the wild wet ride at movie world
A huge rip of Wild West falls at movie world , but how did you not scream .😅
F in the chat, boys
I thought they closed the whole gold rush area down from the “incident” I must be wrong
SHREKISLOVESHREKISLIFE Turtle - Only one half of the Gold Rush Area is closed. The Rocky Hollow Log Ride, is not apart of the Gold Rush Section.
I went this year and everything was opened except the log ride and the other one because of the 4 deaths.... The only reason they closed the log ride was because a boy got injured cause he stood up and fell off and got hit by another log.... I remember coming to dream world every year and going on both those rides. I'm happy they opened the log ride but sad about the deaths
The log ride isn’t in the gold rush area
What happened in the gold rush area?
Unknown Artist the river rapids ride incident. 4 deaths.
What’s the point of the canopy? Is this device supposed to keep you in the log? If it’s supposed to keep you from getting wet, isn’t that the purpose of a log ride anyways? Still it looks like a lot of fun to ride!
If you want to ride a good log flume, go to Movie World, not only because it is better, but because now it is your only option as the one at Dreamworld has closed down. The reason for the roof was because someone thought it would be a good idea to stand up on the ride, and got injured due to that, but it was right around the same time that the River Rapids incident happened so it was barely brought up.
Tricoart Wow, that’s crazy for someone to stand up on a boat ride. We had the same thing happen at Universal Studios in a Florida. The issue here was the person didn’t understand English (reading or writing). When the boat was nearing the final drop they actually stood up and got off the boat. No one could speak to them so they had to shut down the ride. To get them off the platform. A year later they installed ratcheting restraints. I don’t like the idea because if the boat tips over you’re stuck inside. And another ride “shoot the rapids” at cedar point slipped down a hill backwards, flipped and the people were under water for several minutes restrained in their boat. All because of an overreach for safety.
the wild wild west ride from movie world is better oof
True
That
y3a
I think that Shoot the Chute rides like this are such boring teases for much of the ride that, once you've been down the last and only big drop, the path should fork and a rail comes down and guides your log left down a different path which immediately takes you back round just before the last hill lift for one more big drop after which time the rail is now guiding your log right and to the station. As they currently are, they just feel like poor man's log flumes (as log flumes in major parks tend to have at least 2 or 3 biggish drops) with extra decorations and wood huts to distract you from that fact. OK, this ride is like a Shoot the Chute with a log instead of a big boat. Maybe it feels so intense, then, for that 1 big drop, that most people don't mind.
It goes to show that health and safety standards CANNOT be maintained at current upper managenent and ceo salary levels.
They closed rocky hollows because someone fell out when they were standing on it which isnt the parks fault
Safety standards in general at dream world is what I'm referring to.
Dreamworld needs to spend much more money. Ardent has run the Park down and just isn't competitive with Villiage Roadshow.
I'm glad they're putting in a $17 million dollar new ride this year, but they need a plan to put in one new $10million dollar ride every year for the next few seasons. They need to totally refresh the park completely. Obviously this classic should stay, but New Rides need to go in where Eureka Mountain was, a well themed Family Dark Ride should be installed and a few new full circuit Rollercoasters need to be added.
Just to give you an idea of the the kind of money they are giving themselves and nothing towards the park. The year of the tragic accident at dreamworld the ceo was given around $700 000 as a bonus for that year alone. Thats not including the high salary or even the high executives salary and bonuses. Why do you think they only come out with a new ride every few years instead of every year like most top amusement parks
I did rapid as well I think that closed down not only because it was old they might have been an accident just the same incident at Drayton manor where a young girl fell over Board or the boat capsized and she drowned.
Why are there roof cages on them now?
There *was* roof cages on them because some idiot stood up on the ride and was injured, but now the ride is shut down for good, along with a lot of the other good rides at Dreamworld.
@@tric0art Oh no. That was my childhood. I'm gonna go cry.
@@AdroSuperDopa My childhood was the Big Red Car ride, so I feel you. Honestly speaking, Dreamworld as a whole is probably going to shut down soon if it doesn't get new management.
@@spreezyt9567 Ah yeah, I remember marathoning that and Wipeout when it was still open. Haven't been to Dreamworld for a while, though, as nowadays I just get a Village Roadshow One Pass.
Whats with he little roof on the boats and the side plastic coverings? They to stop you getting wet?!
Stop you from dying because the park is horrible and multiple people have died there.
@@jacquesca True, though it was specifically because someone thought it would be a good idea to stand up on the ride, and subsequently got injured. I agree, though, Dreamworld is getting worse and worse as the years go by, and they are just scrambling to make themselves seem better instead of just being better.
I've never seen a log flume ride with canopies on the logs. What purpose do they serve?
Phil Rabe someone stood up on this and got hurt a while back around the same time the rapids crashed and a few people died. It's just dreamworld making it look like they're doing things to make the park safer despite the fact the rides are as safe as can be already.
@GreenBlock12 They have to, I guess. So much came out in the accident inquiry about their lax safety standards, lack of maintainance and non-existent emergency management plans, they probably felt they had to do something to win the public back. But now it's gone too far in the other direction.
Not much of a ride, is it?
Been on this 😀
Unicorngirl 25 me too
I’ve been on this
Clicked on this to look at my dinosaur friend who I had great pleasure pointing out to everyone everytime we went through the tunnel... And it's not even in the video offt
Also remember when I was younger and I thought this was the shit.
Then I went to Movie World and rode Wild West Falls
Movie world has basically the same ride as this. The one at movie world was so much better.
I just want the river rapids ride back at dreamworld, like yeah I know that 4 people were killed and it was the worst ride at dreamworld, but still!!!
It looks VERY jerky
ih good
The theme park looks very empty
Dezmond Lofipo nope.
Idk if you know this but somebody died on a ride here not too long ago so out of respect to the people who died a lot of people don’t want to give money to the theme park.
@@elijahacc1276 really?😮😱
@@hi-ce1wy Four people were killed on the river rapids ride when an empty raft collided with a raft containing six people at the bottom of a chute and caused it to flip. Two children were thrown clear, but two others were trapped underwater and drowned, and another two died a horrific death by being thrown into the conveyor machinery and crushed. A lot came out in the subsequent inquiry about lack of ride maintenance, lack of safety standards and no systems in place to manage emergencies. As a result Dreamworld had to embark on a major public relations exercise, re-doing all their rides and offering special customer deals, to try to win the public back again.
Now it is even more empty with even more ride closures, but at least now they are scrambling to put in another ride that will turn out to be as crappily managed as the rest of them
This is a cigarette ride.
WTF is the deal with the safety canopy at the end? It....ruins the whole ride. Couldn't they have made it look more....I dunno...natural like fake tree branches or something?
IAM FROM : I N D O N E S I A
2 years ago!
Tbh I think dreamworld is a joke. First of all the drop at the start? Ridiculously small secondly there is no music! Boring.. thirdly, it seems very shaky and there are no barriers to keep it steady. Forth, the stupid roof on the logs makes it look like the flint stones car. Lastly The drop at the end seemed way too small. Don’t waste your time on this ride
that was very boring . they need alot of stuff to make it better
Lol this theme park looks sooo crap. Cheap as bro.
Its 20 years old for godsake
@@Kanwp88 the hell. it ain't old then
@@noob.168 That was the reasoning for their closing of most of their good rides recently, when really they had just cut down the theming so much that it was just a barebone husk of what it was before it was closed (for example: Wipeout, Rocky Hollow Big Red Car Ride, etc.). It would be sad to see it go, but I am realistically anticipating that (if it doesn't go into new management) it will shut down within the next 5-10 years, or at least close down more and more rides (The Claw, Buzzsaw, Giant Drop, etc.).
That ride sucks,they should demolish the damn thing
They shouldn't because it is such a historical ride for the park
It's permanently closed now
Its still boring af
Yeah, pretty boring.
Lame compared to others.
Boring
Looks pretty boring to me.
Trevor Aver It's more of a "family ride" so yeah pretty boring!
@@jessfromnewy You could still do good family rides though, like Wild West Falls at Movie World is great. So was the Big Red Car Ride (for kids), but now that is closed, along with the log flume that this video is about, so I guess Wild West Falls is your only option at this point lol
What's this? - Amusement park for poor people. I would not spend any money on something like that.
C. M. You haven’t been there it’s actually a good theme park but this is one of the worst rides
Search up buzzsaw
From dreamworld
@@mitchell11basketball Still think the same way? Lol
