This is a classic Knotts ride, and really a good log flume in general. The final drop is definitely not huge, and you wont get really wet, though there is an unexpectedly good drop mid-way through the ride as well. The duration and theming are what make this ride work so well. You get a look at what it would have been like to lead a lumberjack lifestyle around the beginning of the 20th century. Aside from the logging, there are nice scenes depicting forests and their animal life. I rode this during the winter holidays, when it was rethemed as Elf Mountain Christmas. Elves were working in their shops making toys, the outside scenes were dominated by snowmen, then we went through Mrs. Claus kitchen. On the lift hill before the final drop, we could see Santa on his sleigh with his reindeer, high above a town. This was nice, though I prefer the original theme the best (this gets yet a different, scary theme during Halloween).
