The Enchanted Forest Log Flume Water Ride at Rainbow's End Theme Park in New Zealand! This is a 4K On-Ride POV video of the attraction.
This is a great ride, and surprisingly well themed for a small Theme Park. Featuring both indoor and outdoor scenes, drops, Pirates, Pixies, and humour! Filmed with a good low light camera, so the dark ride sections show up really nicely. I hope you enjoy.
Filmed in July 2019. This is Winter in New Zealand, so the Water effects were toned down compared to normal. This ride is a great way to cool down in Summer as you get wet!
Rainbow's End is New Zealand's only Theme Park / Amusement Park. Located in Manukau City, Auckland, this is a great option if you enjoy attractions & rides and looking for something to do in Auckland.

Did they change something in the last ten years? I remember trolls where the treasure is. There was a little creature saying "Go back" just before you got there, and I think that's gone too. The Enchanted Forest used to have more animals.

@ThemeParkOgre 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah it seems they gave it a slight retheme, though I'm not sure when!

@KennyVee 3 жыл бұрын

I just don't get it. The ride goes from no theme to a pirate theme to animals (and I think I saw Pinocchio) and then to signs about stealing pirate treasure. There is no coherent story. I couldn't see wasting time on this attraction, given how much better other parks have done log flumes. Splash Mountain comes to mind, but for smaller theme parks, Knott's Berry Farm's Log Jam is the standard bearer.

Still haven’t seen one that beats Knott’s Berry Farms. That’s the one I use as the Gold Standard of Log Rides.

@@ThemeParkOgre The mountain hub for the darkride elements, the pirate motif, the semi final drop. Its as if the scattered elements from my dream have taken final form. That or it highly reminds me of my dream and it is filling in gaps.

Not bad for a podunky amusement park.in New Zealand. It isn't Splash Mountain, but no one is really expecting it to be. A sound track would add a lot to the ride.
