Six Flags Over Texas To Debut One Of The World’s Longest Log Flumes in 2024
In 2024, the first-ever log flume ride will become one of the longest in the world. What used to be called El Aserradero, the original log flume that opened in 1963, is getting a makeover and will soon be known as El Rio Lento, one of the world’s longest log flume rides.
El Aserradero made its debut at Six Flags in 1963 and presently offers a ride lasting approximately three minutes and 30 seconds, complete with a 30-foot elevation change. While specific details regarding the ride’s new version have not been disclosed by Six Flags, they have mentioned that El Rio Lento will include a fresh lift hill and “two substantial drops, including an exhilarating, steep nosedive, to enhance the excitement.
“At Six Flags, our relentless drive for innovation is powered by our passion to create moments of pure joy and excitement for our guests,” said Selim Bassoul, President and CEO of Six Flags. “This investment is central to our strategy to create fun and memorable experiences for every member of the family and reinforces Six Flags’ position as the leader in thrills. This builds on our recent efforts to offer new events and dining experiences by also introducing new rides for thrill-seekers and families, all while making improvements to many existing popular rides.”
When it debuts next year, guests will be able to jump in a log-shaped raft and speed-glide on a river instead of a track. Get ready for a cruise down a winding water course through the trees on this family-friendly flume ride. There, you are glide along the water through nature… all is peaceful and scenic, until suddenly you are whisked over the edge of an unpredictable waterfall, plunging down a splashy drop! You survived that one, but don’t get too comfy on the smooth coast down the river, with the wind and water racing past as you flow through the trees. On your voyage you’ll encounter 2 drops in total, with a giant, steep nosedive waiting for you at the end of the long river.
Swoop down over the falls and land with a big splash and wet conclusion that will take your breath away. Now you’re one of the many generations who have sailed this river. Cooled down and revved up, you’re ready for action!
El Rio Lento will debut in 2024 at Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington. For more information, visit the official Six Flags Over Texas website by clicking here.
