cfc Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 WhiteWater Waterpark and Attractions has built a new flume ride at Calaway Park in Canada. This company is very well known for great water slides (such as the new Hurricane Heights slide complex at Kings Dominion's Soak City), but this is their first "themed attraction." Watch out as the new Timber Falls Log Flume splashes into Calgary! WhiteWater Attractions is proud to celebrate the opening of a new Log Flume on Canadian soil. Experience Calaway Park’s Timber Falls, located in Calgary, Alberta! Visitors are invited to take a journey through three interactive themed buildings as they queue up to the Timber Falls Sawmill. Riders will feel the rush of three high velocity drops and a zig-zag river section as they traverse the highly themed adventure. Non-riders can join in the action from the Timber Falls view area where spectators have access to two explosive water cannons. Guests are encouraged to take their memories home with a photo from the Timber Falls Photo Booth. “We are excited to bring Timber Falls to our guests. Being our first themed ride, not only does it thrill our guests with high velocity drops, it interacts with them in the entertaining, fast moving queue line. Timber Falls is a game changer; it aligns with the overall growth plan for the park,” comments Bob Williams, General Manager, Calaway Park Manufactured by WhiteWater Attractions with general construction by Canada’s Kostam Design Inc, the new Log Flume will improve the park’s water consumption by retaining 95% of the water used to operate the ride. Ever since the award-winning park opened its doors in 1982, Calaway Park has built a well-deserved reputation for excellence by offering the best attractions and strives to offer affordable, environmentally consciences and family-fun entertainment for over three decades.

Ride and theming Splash!
coasterbill Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 It's great to see a park add a Log Flume while so many others remove them. To me, a park doesn't feel complete without one.
cfc Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 ^Busch Gardens Williamsburg just completely rehabbed theirs--complete with new logs. I'm intrigued by the "three interactive themed buildings" of Calaway's new flume.
