Saw Mill Plunge is a Log Flume built by US manufacturer Arrow Dynamics currently located at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut, USA.

History

The ride was originally anticipated to open as part of a large overhaul of the park in 1986.[1] It was ultimately delayed until 1987.

The ride was constructed by the Dinn Corporation in spring 1987.[2] When it opened, it was known as Zoomflume. The ride was later renamed to its current name, Saw Mill Plunge.

For the 2021 season, the ride received new themed scenic elements and the flume sections were repainted.[3]
