The Bamboo Chutes is a fun family log flume that shouldnt be missed on a hot day, log flume lover, or thrill seeker at Story Land. Located towards the back left side of Story Land, the Bamboo Chutes is well themed with a Chinese entrance. With bamboo-like handrails underneath a Manderan like building during your 10-20 minute wait, the Bamboo Chutes loads and dispatches very quickly like most flumes. Riding in bamboo-colored logs with a frightened pandas face on the front of the log, the first part of the ride has you winding back and forth. Then you reach a small incline, go down, and then slow down. You then approach the lift hill after traveling around a U-turn and by a mist-breathing, green Dragon that looks spectacular. After a quick climb, you travel down a small incline and travel by multi-colored, singing bamboo. Once rounding a quick turn comes the big drop. Around 25ft in height, the drop is smaller than most drops on a log flume, but fits in perfectly at Story Land. While going down the drop you get your picture taken and the on-ride photo has a very low price and is of excellent quality with a bamboo border around the edges. The splashdown gets you a little wet, ending this fun family flume. Overall, a flume that fits in perfectly with Story Land, but is no where nearly as good as other log flumes.
