Timber Mountain Log Ride

Eric Esty

One of the best log rides I've ever been on. Great animatronics, surprises, scenic views, fast flume, and drops.

We're going down! We're riding "Timber"! - parody of "Timber", Pitbull w/ Kesha A Knott's Classic! While not as steep a drop as the newer Splash Mountain at Disneyland, Timber Mountain Log Ride is still a thrilling water ride & a fun way to cool off on a hot day. Or, a rainy December night, like my last time on the ride. Beware - Your shoes will get drenched! There's openings on the sides of the logs, allowing water to splash in. I thought I'd be slick by making sure to raise my feet up, like I do Calico River Rapids. But, alas, it's squishy feet for me for the rest of my Knott's visit. I'm wearing my waterproof Columbia trail shoes, next time I plan on riding the Log Ride. About equal time is spent outside, as well as interior. The Log Ride is a good long ride, with animatronic loggers & critters. Halloween & Christmas brings with them new theming, by way of decor, music & other accoutrements. There's even a crash landed UFO, too! Here's the pro & con. The con is, because the logs travels the flumes so fast, it's hard to check out everything. The pro is, it makes riders want to ride the Log Ride, again! I never tire of riding the Log Ride. The logs are whisked through the flumes at a brisk pace, and there are great views of the park at various parts of the ride. The climactic drop makes my heart race, everytime, and the splashing can be substantial, now & again. The Timber Mountain Log Ride is an affirmative "must ride" & part of the rich heritage of Walter & Cordelia Knott's vision for the park. Starting with John Wayne as a passenger on the first log, to young kids with iPhones present day, the Timber Mountain Log Ride is solidly ensconced as the OG Knott's ride. Newer, sexier rides will come about, but the Log Ride will always have a special place in my heart. Highly recommend!

One of the best long flume rides on the planet! The only better one that I have ever been on is Splash Mountain at Disneyland. This ride is at least 5 minutes. You go up a hill and spend your time weaving in and out of caverns and caves. There are cool scenes along the way that make this more of a Darkride than other log flumes. There are 2 hills. One about 70% through the ride in the dark - and one at the end as the finale. I highly recommend for anyone ages 5-75.
