The Log Flume at Rye Playland was very good and one of my favorites. Located towards the back left side of the park, the Log Flume takes up a good chunk of land. The cave from off the ride looks very good and the drops looked exciting. With a nice wooden station, you board the logs there. Once the Log Flume begins, you slowly ride to the first lift hill. It isnt too large and you get up pretty quickly. I was shocked at how steep the small drop was and it got some pretty good speed before reaching the bottom. The splash was okey and I got a little wet. You then slowly meander through the cave around a U-turn to the right. When you exit the cave, you continue to wind around for a while until you reach the final and rides largest drop. Climbing up the lift hill, you get a brief but good view of Rye Playland. Once at the top, you notice that this drop is just as steep as the first and you gain speed fairly quickly on the way down. This time, the log makes a good splash and got me pretty wet. You then slowly re-enter the station. Overall, a great Log Flume that is even better on a hot day. I highly recommend the Log Flume to anyone who enjoys water rides and log flumes.
