History
Old Mill Scream opened at Opryland USA in 1987.[1] The park closed on December 31, 1997, and the ride was relocated to the site of Old Indiana Fun-n-Water Park in Thorntown, Indiana, USA, where it sat in storage along with other Opryland USA rides bought by Premier Parks as a 13 ride package in December 1997 following the park's closure.[2] In 2001, Old Mill Scream was shipped off from the site in Indiana and was relocated to a parking lot at Six Flags Over Texas, where it was completely refurbished and rethemed there before being sent off to Enchanted Village in Federal Way, Washington, USA, a park that Six Flags acquired in December 2000.[3][4]
The attraction was originally going to be called Buzzsaw Falls at Enchanted Village. However, the name was changed to Lumberjack Falls prior to opening. It opened in 2002 alongside nine other new attractions.[5] Enchanted Village was renamed to Wild Waves Theme Park in 2007.
