Awesome Alex's Splended Splash

History
The ride opened with 50 trains, due to capacity issues, in 1992, 16 more were added bringing the total up to 66. The 1992 trains are notable in that they have a lap bar, unlike the original 50.

Experience
This is the longest log flume in America (and formerly the world) at 15 minutes long, the ride starts off not with a lift, but a small drop underground, where an animatronic Alex Carwardine greets you, the underground segment lasts 2 minutes long, until you go up a lift above ground, where you start circulating around Alex's Amazing Water Geyser and a small drop to the next lift, 5 minutes in already, we get to some switchback turns, similar to a wild mouse, that lasts 7 minutes, then a small drop goes back underground into Alex's Bunker, which he warns about the Water Geyser erupting in 7 minutes, it then leads to a parody of It's A Small World that lasts 3 minutes until a lift that takes you above ground again, with a 3 minute long series of turns and switchbacks, until you go up the final lift, one of the tallest (at the time) at 90 feet, which leads to the tallest drop on a log flume at 100 ft, which was guaranteed to get riders completely soaked, as you go back underground into the exit platform, riders don't get to ride the final lift that leads to the entry.

Trivia

 * Counting the unrideable final lift, the ride would be 16 minutes and 40 minutes and not 15 minutes.
