Guests lie on their stomach on the toboggan style mat as they ride down the flumes.
Hydraulic structures of this type can generally be divided into two categories: flumes and weirs.
Scales were placed on the outer walls of the perspex flume at the centre of the contraction and in each reservoir (figure 7).
The flumes are not patented and the discharge tables are not copyright protected.
Dual speed flumes run side by side and end in a large splash pool.
The flume's opening (the "headgate") no longer exists, and the connecting ditch has been filled.
Here they are loaded onto trucks (or in times past, railroad cars or flumes), and sent to the mill.
Log flumes proved to be extremely popular and quickly became staples at amusement and theme parks throughout the world.
