I understand that the weather in the UK does mean that log flumes only truly get appreciated for around 2\/3 months a year. We are known for having cold & miserable weather, I get it.

Buying a rain mac or waterproofs helps solve the issue of being cold, right?\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last few years we have been loosing more & more log flumes. It does feel as if they are slowly slipping out of focus within the UK. It\u2019s something I do hope isn\u2019t the case. Once we begin losing the major ones like Stormforce 10, Tiger Rock, Pirate Falls & so on, that\u2019s when I\u2019ll truly be worried. At the moment I feel as if the log flume at Yarmouth was perhaps a lot to maintain. The rides are often switching & changing here too.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

But I pray this isn\u2019t the end of the log flume, especially as a self-claimed water ride enthusiast.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you reckon? Could it be the end? Or is it just cutting expensive costs down at select places?<\/span><\/p>\n
