Bye bye Log Flume!

Carowinds has dropped off a few major news items in the last 24 hours for us. Starting off with the big one, I have a confirmed quote from the park’s PR Manager, Dani Swords that everyone will find very interesting. "Thank you for your concern regarding the 2009 operation of the Wild Thornberry's(tm) River Adventure (Log Flume) ride. The log flume ride will be dismantled and cease to operate for the 2009 season to prepare
the site for future attractions."

From Screamscape.

Sounds like a HUTB to me.

wow

Now, that is a day ruiner.
R.I.P Log Flume
1973-2008

Wonder if it will actually be dismantled, or if they will tear it down.

[MarkD]

Well, I hope before they start the demolition we can have the "Cobra" cam moved to see the entire process of whatever they are doing over there.

Guess there will be another tombstone for Scarowinds next year.

Hey, why the long faces? Do you get what this implies at all? Right at the front of the park!!! Come on someone, indulge me a little bit.

[PreferParamount]

new logflume? lol

[PreferParamount]

wait no, a rollercoaster?

I can't say I am too sad to see it go, I mean there isn't much to it. Two hills and there is really only 1 drop. Good for the entire family, but seems that these things are probably past their prime.
The thing that I wonder is this: Since we have been in a drought for the last couple of years(yes I know, lately we have gotten rain), is it really a good idea using water for this as there is loss along the track, either leaks or splash outs. Not sure how much the rapids would lose to splash outs, but I am sure the log flume built in 1973 wasn't designed to conserve alot of water during droughts.
Is it sad to see something that many of us have riden for the past 20-35years? Sure. Could the space be better utilized with either 1) a better attraction 2)a few nice flat rides 3) A new coaster, I would say yes. Now to see what CF has in mind.

[coasterbruh]

I say taer it down!11!!!
