The Flume, Water ride at Alton Towers, England
The Flume featured a 790-meter track through wooded areas, incorporating multiple drops and water effects along its curved path through the park.
Opening in 1981 as White Water Flume, this attraction held the record for longest log flume in the world at 2,600 feet until its closure in 2015.
The 2004 Imperial Leather sponsorship brought a bathroom theme to the ride, complete with rubber duck statues and shower spray effects throughout the course.
The six-minute water journey required riders to measure at least 100 centimeters in height and accommodated 1,400 passengers every hour during operation.
After the ride's permanent closure, parts of The Flume, including boats and signage, were sold through charity auctions to theme park enthusiasts.
