Let me start by saying I love Theme Park History and new developments. That said I cant say I have noticed the log flume looking remnants in the attached picture. At first I thought maybe White Water Landing, but that was more where the Maverick stands now....Is this new or old?

That's the old "Congo Falls KI/ Mile High Falls KK" type of boat ride, there was an incident where a boat overturned and someone died and CP shut it down shortly afterwards if I remember right.

That was Shoot the Rapids, and Intamin log flume style ride. Opened in 2010 and closed in I think 2015 after an incident as described above. Smaller boats than Mile High Falls or Congo Falls, only like 8 passengers I believe.

No one died.  There was an accident where a boat rolled back flipped over, injuring the passengers, but only one was taken to a hospital and they were later released.  Also nothing like the big splash boat rides you mentioned.

10 passenger boats, and it closed at the end of the 2015 season, two years after the aforementioned incident.
