RollerNut Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I think it will, sorry I hope I am wrong. I really love Log Flumes because they don't get you soaking wet like Shoot-The-Chutes style rides do. 2 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Eventually? Sure. Soon? No. I saw what made some people start talking about this possibility, and I don't think the image was even meant to tease us, much less warn us. People totally misconstrued something and ran with it. 11 Quote

Aaron88stang Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 please no. I love log flumes and they are getting harder to find. 7 Quote
Existential Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I especially like King's Mills Flume. I do hope that maintenance is not an issue after this long of its livelihood though.  2 Quote
Coaster Addict Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Yes. Not this year, not next year, but sometime in the future. 1 Quote
Tyson76 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 It might get removed eventually but I don't see it being this year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Joshua Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 I hope not. Now if it were removed for a larger log flume, then I'd be all for it. But that is just wishful thinking. 4 Quote
Kenban Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 This year? Â Nothing lasts forever. Â But I do not believe that it is scheduled for removal currently. 3 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Well, let me step into my time machine and find out.  [beep-blip-boop-bop-click-click-click Poof!] Okay, I'm back.  Yes, the ride eventually gets dismantled and removed, to the disappointment of Eloi and Morlock alike.  So enjoy it while it lasts. 6 Quote

King Ding Dong Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Removed no. Replaced yes. I can think of one in a warehouse somewhere near. 1 Quote
AintNutinElse2Do Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I wouldn't mind seeing a Mammoth of a water coaster to replace the log flume in the future. Especially if they found a way to give it a dual entrance from both wet/dry parks. 1 Quote
matt112986 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I wouldn't mind seeing a Mammoth of a water coaster to replace the log flume in the future. Especially if they found a way to give it a dual entrance from both wet/dry parks.  I'd rather they just build one in the water park and have both. The three I have seen are in water park sections. And there is quite a distance between the log flume and Soak City, not sure how they could have a dual entrance without really long queues. 2 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I have only had on ride on the flume here but it seemed clear to me there is something wrong with it. Not sure what is happening but it was extremely bumpy, like the logs were riding on the bottom and not really floating well. The flume at SFSTL was built in 1972 and doesn't have this issue and the equipment seems similar. Has anyone else experienced this? Quote
Spectrum91 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 #savetheconeyislandkingsislandlogflume  You could argue it's no longer the Coney Island flume. The ride was closed in 1999 and almost entirely rebuilt by Hopkins (today known as WhiteWater Attractions), sans a few small pieces like the station. Many (myself included) would therefore consider it a new ride. 2 Quote
Outdoor Man Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Will come down to cost of maintenance and perceived ROI. Recirculating water and other intangible costs associated probably make this ride more costly to maintain than others. 1 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 For the sake of Planet Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, I think this ride is safe! 1 Quote
SonODiamondback Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Hate to see any ride removed. Not sure about the cost of up keep. But everytime I been to KI the last two years it seems to have a decent line. If any ride gets removed I think it might be Congo falls it just seems like it's out of the when peple are looking for things to ride. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Wanderer Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 I really hope it stays, I feel like every park should have a nice refreshing log flume, it's such a classic with just the right amount of splash. 4 Quote
KIBeast Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Only time will tell...where is Marty McFly when I need him? 4 Quote
westcoaster Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 Has anyone heard anything on the fate of the log flume I hope it could stay, if not to Coney or over to Strickers Grove hopefully. Even though in the Cincy area Lesourdsville Americana had the best. On a side note does anyone have an article or story the wooden coaster that went to KY Kingdom, was originally going to Americana.
