Rocky Hollow Log Ride

Rocky Hollow Log Ride, Log flume at Dreamworld, Gold Coast, Australia

Rocky Hollow Log Ride was a log flume at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. Groups of four rode in one of 12 log vehicles along a roughly 500-metre channel, in and out of buildings, up two conveyor-belt lift hills and down an 11.3-metre drop reaching 50 km/h. The cycle lasted four minutes and twenty seconds.

The Rocky Hollow Log Ride opened with Dreamworld on 15 December 1981, built in-house with help from overseas engineers. Both drops were rebuilt after corrosion, the smaller one reopening briefly on 21 May 2004. It closed permanently on 8 February 2020 and was demolished with the former photo store in May 2021.

The ride's name came from the hollow, cave-like tunnel sections riders passed through, most of which were demolished after the 2018 reopening. Its four-passenger logs and splashdown made it a shared family experience, and in 2002 owners Macquarie Leisure Trust noted the Log Ride and Thunder River Rapids stayed the park's most popular attractions because of their large capacity and ride frequency.

Riders boarded in four-person logs from a station of four platforms, two for loading and two for unloading, which kept queues moving. The 500-metre layout ran through buildings and caves, with the final 11.3-metre drop taken up by a conveyor belt inside a tunnel. After the 2018 reopening, bars were fitted to the logs and most cave sections had been removed.

The Rocky Hollow Log Ride was the first log flume anywhere to have roofs fitted to its log vehicles, added after the 2016 accident to stop guests standing up. During the same closure, many tunnel sections were demolished for safety and bars were fitted to the logs like a cage.
