The Logs on the Logs Flume have been repainted back to their original color, but only part of the fleet.

Why don't you just hang lose and have fun at carowinds? I do believe thats why they built the place (besides to make money).

the simple reply i have to the purpose of this post is not allowed on these forums.. too bad..

but i will still say who honestly gives a ____
[fill in the blank yourself!]

I mean seriously, why does it matter if the logs change two shades of brown? Its like fretting because the food stands change a type of ketchup.. jeez.. I must agree w/ Cephas and iluvcoasters.... why is it such a big deal?????

stop wasting bandwith!

I personally enjoy hearing about little changes that take place throughout the park.

I'm the same way at Dollywood...I notice stuff some people couldn't possibly give a damn about...when a trashcan has been relocated...when a sign has gotten a new coat of paint...I get into details.

The way I see it, somebody worked to repaint those logs, and I'm sure that they would be happy know that somebody noticed it. ;)

TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER...this is the fourth paint scheme the flume 'keg' logs have had. The original '73 colors were much more detailed to look like real wood. They also had "Danger: Black Powder" stenciled on to the sides as part of the themeing.

I agree.

It is nice to hear of things changing. There are times I say So What but it is still cool to hear of changes.

Just don't get carried away with the why and get silly rumors going.

Wow, that's sooooo cool! ;)


Honestly, I don't give a crap if the cars for a log flume changes shades in color, not really worth mentioning IMO.

Hey RollerNut... don't worry about the negative vibes on this board......

If you wanna talk about it, post it, and don't be concerned about the bandwidth.

Hey, the regulars here waste enough space talking about how many times they can snap the fliers, how many times they have ridden the Borg, when the non-existant Hyper is to be built (the one going under the entrance bridge)..., yada yada yada....

I enjoy ALL the posts... even yours!!! So please contribute!!!. :D

I want to here it because small things can lead to big things. Might or Might not? B)

I think the color that they are being painted now looks more like a log or what they are now than the light brown.

^That's true, it does look better and more like a log.

The logs aren't really logs...there powder kegs. (Hence the ride's original name)
