Flume ride, Water attraction at Liseberg, Sweden
The Flume Ride is a log flume at Liseberg in Gothenburg, built by Arrow Development and opened in 1973. Its 610-metre water channel runs through the southern part of the park's hill, starting and ending near the south entrance. The 28 log-shaped boats carry 4–5 riders each; the channel holds 1,200,000 litres of water and has two drops of 9 and 14 metres, the last reaching 60 km/h.
This water attraction was built by Arrow Development in the 1970s and became one of the park's signature rides. Over decades it has remained a popular choice for families visiting Liseberg.
The boats are shaped like logs running in a timber flume, and the ride is always staffed by at least seven people, making it Liseberg's most staff-intensive attraction. The course begins and ends next to the park's southern entrance, on the southern part of the hill.
Riders must be at least 130 centimeters tall to ride unaccompanied, though younger guests around 100 centimeters can join with an adult. Expect to get wet during the splashing sections, so plan accordingly with waterproof storage for personal items.
The ride uses a clever water management system to drench riders at key moments during the descent. Its hybrid design combining traditional log boats with modern steel track engineering creates an experience that appeals to both longtime park visitors and newcomers.
