Enchanted Village's Lumber Jack Falls update

Certainly looks like the NW is getting the "mini-SFWoA" treatment. Cool, hoping to get up there next year...(Silverwood calling...TREMORS)....

Six Flags has spent the entire season advertising Lumberjack Falls as if it is already open. As if this wasn't bad enough, the park brochure includes photos of rides from other parks. Doesn't this constitute false advertising? Is this typical of Six Flags parks around the world? Since the park closes for the season in late August or early September, it's unlikely that the public will get a chance to ride this attraction until next season. Perhaps they will have it open just in time for Frightfest or for the two-week winter season. Yipeee! They could coincide the ride's grand opening with the lighting of the Christmas trees, and invite the Polar Bear Club to be the first group of people to get soaked in 40-degree weather! What a ripoff. *** This post was edited by Railshark on 7/15/2002. ***

Yup, that's typical Six Flags advertising.

Wait, I'm confused isn't a water coaster like Journey To Atalantis. If it is why does it look like a a normal Shoot-the-Chute ride. Can sombody help me?

Neiller919- I guess that Shoot-the-Chutes are being considered as water coasters now-a-days. SFDL got one this season and it has been advertised as a water coaster. Even though I personaly don't consider them water coasters becuase where is the coaster part of it??

Valleyfair has advertised the Wave as a water coaster this isn't new territory, parks have been playing with naming things for years. Why get your underwear in a bunch over something so minor.

The log flume at VF is more of a "water coaster" than the Wave. I love the drop in the tunnel followed by the turn and then the "surprise" (for those that haven't ridden it; I won't say anymore).

Is this an intamin ride?

Lumber Jack Falls is indeed an Intamin project.

Last I checked it looked as if it were almost done, the whole thing was constructed, except the loading area. I also noticed that there was a lot of excess space in the Northwest Territory even with Lumber Jack Falls being built. I wonder what they'll add there. Shops, resturants, theming, coasters, or perhaps that river rapids ride I've been desiring. Call me crazy, but im just one of those people that loves water rides. *** This post was edited by S Wilson on 7/24/2002. ***
