Timber Mountain Log Ride - The American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con 42 at Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, California

The Timber Mountain Log Ride is another classic groundbreaking ride at Knott's Berry Farm.

It was added to Knott's Berry Farm in 1969 and was the first use of theming with a log flume.

The flume really is just a small part of the entire Timber Mountain Log Ride.

Bud Hurlbut; the concessionaire that owned the Timber Mountain Log Ride, wanted to tell a story with a trip through a mining community. After his initial discussion with Ed Morgan and Carl Bacon of Arrow Dynamics the ride that was conceived as a rollercoaster with track submerged in water became a log flume.

The flume really is fantastic but mixing it with the mountain and logging camp theming really makes this a world class ride that wouldn't be out of place if it opened a few miles away at Disneyland.
