Wicksteed Park

New in 2008 is a Log Ride

Its only a small kiddie log flume, but its been really nicely presented

The Themeing is really quite nice, Its amazing what you can do with such a small log flume in terms of themeing, puts some parks to shame IMO

The Final drop which isnt big, but can still give quite a mild splash

I dont know what the deal is with a shed on top of the drop, it just seems random

One final Overview of the log ride

Overall its a really nice little ride, and I got supringly wet thanks to some water fountains at the turn before the lift hill

The Other coaster they have here is a small ladybird kiddie coaster, and weather it was last year or this year, the train has recieved a makeover, previously it was coloured all red with black spots

Its a good little ride

and you get 3 laps round too, woohoo

One of those powered monorail type ride which you power round yourself

A Vintage Car attraction, this was under construction in 2006, and opened later that year I believe

DUCK ALERT
Wicksteed Park is such a lovely chill out park, Its the perfect place to come and relax if its a nice day, and its such a delight to visit.The New Log Ride for 2008 is a nice addition to the park, and I think the mix of rides is perfect for everyone visiting, and may the Water Chute ride continue to be here for yet another 80-90 years, Its such a great little ride,Long live Wicksteed
