An amusement park water ride is a type of ride that involves water, usually in the form of a FLUME. A FLUME is a long, narrow channel or trough with a slight downward slope that is used to transport logs or other materials. In an amusement park, a FLUME ride is a type of water ride that typically involves boats or rafts that travel along a FLUME, often with drops and turns. Riders experience the sensation of being on a river or stream, and may even get wet from the splashing water.
