Big Timber Log Ride is a steel water roller coaster located at Enchanted Forest in Turner, Oregon, USA.

History

In the early 1990s, Enchanted Forest's management saw the need for another major ride at the park, as the previous major ride, Ice Mountain Bobsled, was nearing a decade old. They decided on a Log Flume ride, later annouced as Big Timber Log Ride.

The ride's construction took multiple years, with it originally slated to open in late spring 1995, but that date was missed, and it later opened in May 1996. During the delays, the ride's cost had also doubled from the original $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.

Elements
Chain lift hill Tunnel Splashdown Chain lift hill Splashdown

Big Timber Log Ride is very similar to other Log Flume rides, the reason for its water roller coaster classification is because of a section before the ride's final Splashdown, featuring a small chain lift followed by a 90° left turn, a 25 foot tall dip, a 90° left turn, and a 40 foot tall drop, all empty of water.

Trains

5 cars. Riders are arranged inline in 4 rows, for a total of 4 riders per car.

The cars are standard log flume boats.
