The Rocky Hollow Log Ride was a log flume which took groups of 4 riders on a gentle four and a half-minute cruise through channels, in and out of buildings, before ascending the lift hill. The ride concluded with a 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) drop causing all riders to become soaked.[1]
The ride opened on 15 December 1981, the opening day of Dreamworld. Rocky Hollow Log Ride was the last original opening day attraction of Dreamworld in its original form and the third last original opening day attraction still operating, the surviving two are Vintage Car Adventure and Dreamworld Express.[2]
Throughout its 38-year life span, the ride has faced several closures, refurbishment and incidents.
