The Timber Mountain Log Ride is a log flume in the Ghost Town area of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. Designed by Bud Hurlbut and built with Arrow Development, it opened on July 11, 1969, and the park calls it one of the most elaborate log flume rides in the United States.
The ride travels through an 85-foot-high, 330-foot-long mountain themed to a 19th-century lumber camp, with indoor show scenes, before a final drop; Wikipedia gives the drop as 42 feet. In 2013 the ride reopened after a restoration with Garner Holt Productions that renewed classic scenes, upgraded the figures and added special effects.
Riders must be at least 46 inches tall, or 36 inches with a companion.
