El Aserradero is a log flume ride in the Mexico & Spain area of Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. Arrow Development built it, and it opened in 1963. It was billed as the world's first log flume, and the park still calls it the original log ride. A second flume was added in 1968, and the two are known as Flume I and Flume II.
The ride is themed to the quest of a Spanish explorer. Each log seats up to three riders and floats at a relaxed pace through the course, with splashes of cool water along the way.
The park rates it a thrill level 3 ride. Riders must be at least 46 inches tall.
