- Knott's has re-imagined their classic Timber Mountain Log Ride in 2013. Keeping the spirit of the original attractions, but bringing some of the effects and story up to date. The new ride looks AWESOME!!! Filmed by David Wagner for www.themeparkreview.com

I like how everybody calls this a Splash Mountain to rip off when this was open in the 60s probably the first log ride ever made
exactly smh
my words exactly
But splash mountain is better
Liz your Beautiful xx
No, the six flags over Texas one is
The one, the only, the LEGENDARY Timber Mountain Log Ride.
For those of you saying that this is a ripoff of Splash Mountain - *IT IS THE REVERSE!* This ride was at Knotts for DECADES before Disney ripped THEM off.
Darn those kids.
Which ripped off Dudley Dooright at Islands of Adventure
CookinginRussia Indeed and point well taken; TMLR was in existence LONG before SM, but I don't think you can fairly insert the concept of "ripping off" to this subject. I mean, can you imagine if there was only one of EVERYTHING that has ever been made by man in the world?!
For me, Splash Mountain is superior to Timber Mountain Log Ride in nearly every tangible respect except sequence of chronology. But that does NOT take away from what TMLR offers in its own right: Fun with good theming and a generally entertaining and enjoyable vibe.
kdm71291 Having lived near these two parks for years, I can tell you that on very hot summer days, Knott's would be packed because of their water rides, most especially the log ride. Disney had no ride that got you wet, and so they went about changing that. Did they come up with something completely original? Hardly. That's what I'm saying.
CookinginRussia I understand. You may also have to consider that Knott's has always been cheaper. But yeah....D-land didn't have anything that would distinctly get you wet until Splash Mtn.
I read some of the other comments that reported that Imagineer,Tony Baxter, said that it was "inspired" by TMLR at Knott's. That sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.....in every respect. :-)
This ride is legit amazing. I'm actually saddened to read the comments on here because it's all people declaring a Knott's vs Disneyland war on each other; truth is Walter Knott (Knott's founder) and Walt Disney were great friends -- FACT.
Knott's Berry Farm was the 1st themed amusement park in the USA, as a theme park beginning in 1941 (although as a berry-selling farm since 1920 and an immensely popular chicken restaurant since 1934) , and Disneyland just 6 miles away as the 2nd theme park in the US opening in 1955. Since Walter Knott and Walt Disney were close friends their parks had a friendly relationship with each other, and the 2 creators heavily and continually influenced each other and lifted from each other's ideas without the other minding.
They're really very similar parks -- both very immersive with themed sections with very strong attention to detail. The equivalent western theme is very evident in Disneyland's Frontierland and Critter Country, for instance, and both parks have antique steam trains that circle them, and each a Dentzel carousel from the 1870's -- look at the one in Knott's (in Fiesta Village) and it is remarkably similar to King Arthur's Carousel in Disneyland; Knott's carousel also has medieval setting tapestry paintings with castles whose animation looks like SLEEPING BEAUTY (one shows a caped prince on horseback atop a hill with castle in background) and the sign at the queue has a figure of a king's head with a crown and medieval/Renaissance ruffled neck collar -- this is Knott's we're talking about!
And once and for all -- Knott's log flume ride opened in 1969 as the 1st in the whole US! Disneyland's Splash Mountain opened in 1989.
This is why the friendly relationship between Knott's and Disneyland continues to this day to carry on that legacy of the founders' friendship. Knott's stores sell Disney merchandise. The Knott's Berry Farm Hotel has a free shuttle linking Knott's to Disneyland. I was in Virginia's Gift Shop in Knott's California Marketplace and was told this very thing by a clerk there. (I had some general prior knowledge of all this from books I read.) She also told me she remembered going there to Knott's when she was just a little girl in the late-1930's before it was even a theme park and she would see Walt Disney there frequently eating dinner with the Knott's at their farmhouse. The street taking you to the entrance -- Grand Blvd. -- she said was just a dirt road. And there was "just a shack in a field with people eating fried chicken."
If you go -- (DO GO! :D) -- I recommend going to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant as it was recently refurbished to look exactly as it did when it first opened as a full restaurant in 1938 (4 years earlier the dinners were just served in the "tea room"). To restore it they used old pictures (I read this in the newspaper) of what it looked like in 1938, the different rooms with the furniture and all. I like how it really reflects how in rural America at the time the Wild West was still alive and well -- the culture and lifestyle that always fascinated Walter Knott and he always gravitated to. The restaurant is complete with a very western dining room in the barn, brown wooden-plank walls there and in other dining rooms, gas lanterns, and grinding mills like the Knott family used. Also, cool side note, Virginia's Gift Shop and its building is also from 1938, and the building with the Farm Bakery and (what became) Chicken-to-Go is from 1927 (as you're walking along there to get to the main park entrance notice the original clapboard sidewalk running from there to the restaurant and the little gas lamps beside the restaurant. Inside the park, in Ghost Town, it might be interesting to know that while some of the buildings were built there (starting in 1940-41) a lot of them were transported at the same time from western towns, some very close-by, some ghost towns, others still very well- populated. (The Blacksmith shed came from a neighboring farm.) So you're looking at and going inside of western buildings spanning from about 1850 to 1950.
So all this angry, bitter talk about which park trumps which park (and statements like "Disneyland's more detailed and does it better") -- all pure, utter nonsense. Both have definite historical links to each other (I haven't even begun to talk about how innovative the technology was at both parks, like how the animatronics in Knott's Calico Mine Ride in 1960 influenced and even made possible those in Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride that opened 7 years later. Both parks are amazing and complement each other perfectly.
Albert Jimeno That probably took a long time to write. Props to you!!!
This deserves way more likes
Thanks! I didn't know about this thank you so much! ☺
Could not have said it better....I grew up loving both parks for different reasons...Knotts has the best chicken dinner ever and I mean ever...Best log flume hands down...Love potting for Gold as a kid...Terrified of Montezuma Revenge...Parachute ride scared the life out of me...Just old school cool...Family park with soul... Disneyland has the magic of the rides that tell stories and that enrich your inner spirit and I for one love the coasters at Disney like Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain and of course Legendary Matterhorn...Pirates of the Caribbean and Mr.Toad Ride are staples.. Splash Mountain is great log flume ride in itself... Those parks never rival one another ever they just created an atmosphere that brings you to life and makes you feel a joy that lives on with you forever! They made people smile and laugh which is what we all deserve :)
To those that compare this to Splash Mountain and others, calling it a worse ride, or a rip off of another ride, keep in mind that this came years before, was one of the first, if not THE first, log flume in existence and deserves some respect. Those petty little rides you speak of probably wouldn't exist if not for this ride.
Enough with the Splash Mountain comparisons. This ride opened in 1969 and Splash opened in 1989.
In fact, Tony Baxter, the Imagineer who designed Splash Mountain, was at this ride's opening day as a teenager and used this ride for inspiration for Splash Mountain. Check it out, there are various interviews with him on TH-cam.
Wrong
***** I didn't say it was based on this ride, I said it was inspiration for it. Splash Mountain's designer (Tony Baxter) said it himself. Read and comprehend.
TheHaloRed it was based on a movie ( if I'm wrong ) 🚫
Wes Sidner d
This looks like a really nice ride. It's really long, has tons of great animatronics, and I love how choppy the waters are in the flume track (gives you a greater sense of adventure). :D
uuuhhgggt
+FireCracker3240 lol!
I've been on this! It's really fun and I recommend it to anyone!
uh g.
+Sasha Bevz .
I remember riding the knotts old log ride, it was my favorite ride as a kid.
Well I know where Splash Mountain's idea came from, XD
this came 20 years before splash mountain
2:51 that wolf and those crickets we're always my favorite part of the ride.
And the bears, too.
Man, I love that beautiful sound.
+Amy Castillo No, it's the other way around. Splash Mountain is similar to this ride. Timber Mountain came first.
splash mountain has a higher and steeper drop though.
Jonathan Burton - Really? I always thought it was the other way around since Knott's has more of an extreme reputation on rides.
The log ride as been at knott's since 1969
That was an amazingly well themed ride, well done Knott's for making a ride that fits well into the park!

So, I went to knotts back in 2008, with my family and when I went on this ride.. I saw something that kinda scared me. WHen you get to the end of the ride, before the final drop, if you look off to the side where the animations are dancing and having a fun time, You can see, a large wolf like creature, eyeballing them. Now, I don't know if they took it out or not, cause I can't find anything on this, Only thing I have found was Knotts Scary farm, werewolf scare zone, and a werewolf themed timber log ride. It kinda scared me to be honest. I don't know if it was just me, or if others saw it as well.

As a kid I remember going on this ride over and over, it was late in the day and it seemed like there was barely anyone there and my friends and I kept getting off the ride and getting right back on..thanks for bringing those memories back!
The ride experience on this is not complete without waving your hands in the air on certain parts of the ride and messing with the "SIDDOWN" sensors so much that it stutters.
Right?!?!
ReakYTP Wait they do that?
OOOOOOOOHHH
I love when theme parks take the time to really theme rides, makes the so much more memorable!
We're on a log flume! We're on a log flume!
Pppppppll
We're going up a lift hill Were up a lift hill
+David Sierra We're going down the big drop,we're going down the big drop!
Dang it Obi-Wan beat me to it

This is the best Log Ride I've ever seen hands down. I don't care what people say about splash mountain.
Lots of people are comparing it to Splash Mountain, and I'm over here thinking that this is the exact same ride as Universal's Ripsaw Falls.
Love that ride!
Same
I love splash moutain ft Log ride
Same
i live down the street from knotts, i think i went on this ride EVERYDAY for EVERY SUMMER as a kid. love to see they fixed it up
I went on this and the whole time we just screamed through the tunnels, we lost our voices but it was worth it :D
I did too 😂😂
+bluestone where is this at
Oh where us that lol
vv
OMG no way u will ever go their lol 😅😅😅
Hey for those of you saying they copied Splash Mountain. Do some research. This ride opened in July of 1969. Splash Mountain opened July of 1989.
There have always been animatronics in this ride, they just updated it with a few more additions.
knott's berry farm is knott's berry fun
very funny, did your 6 year old brother tell you that joke
nope all amde cuz imma boss
BP Productions ok that six year old must be you
nope but its called skill
BP Productions well all trolls are assholes
This was one of my favorite rides at Knott's when I was a kid. I went on it a couple of years ago and noticed that they had not put much thought in to it for a long time. I didn't think it would last. I like the changes and the fact that they didn't turn it into something crazy. The spirit is still there.
I'm always singing the splash mountain music on this 😂😂
Looks like a creepy version of splash mountain!😂😆😈
Kiersten Gra
Emilie Elisabeth you know that song is kinda racist right
no its not .
Emilie Elisabeth wheres clifford
Haven't been on this ride, since I used to work in Ghost Town, over 20 years ago! Thanks so much, for sharing!
We are on a log fluuuume! We are on a log fluuuume!
Log flume/ log rides are the best, the always are the most detailed ride and make it feel you are the deep jungle
0:20 WTF THE WATER IS GOING UP
What did you mean by that 😆
Dominick O lol
now im addicted to rollercoaster vids like yours
My sister is scared of the animatronics on this ride, and I don't even know why.
Because how they Move!
They creep me out too! Their facial expressions?
i am too and the ones on the calico mine ride😰😖😩😫
There aren't many on the Calico Mine Ride.
I was just at Knott's last week and I went on this ride twice, looking at the animatronics. They are creepy, but only if you focus on them for a while.

This is the best themed log flume i've seen here on youtube. Hope I can go to Knott's berry farm and ride this one day.
No Log Flume song?
It's been 20 years since I've been there .. Brings back some awesome memory's
I rode the fuck out of this ride when it was raining there was no line so I kept going on it
Narutokunai1000yearsifpain Uzimaki lmaoo haha
I think this ride along with the Calico train ride has been there for a very long time for I remember these two rides from back in late 60's maybe early 70's. Thanks for the post because the last time I rode the log ride was with my dad so many years ago and he's been gone since 1994. Dad and I had a blast on this ride screaming together. Sure do miss him.
ㅐ
I am only a kid so I don't think this is 100% right.. but i just went to Disney in Orlando and I think Splash Mountain has a bigger drop..Hmmm
yes, Splash Mountain's drop is 50 ft while this one is only 42ft
Only?
"only" being used in comparison to Splash Mountain. I'm sure the drop is still just as terrifying
it's about time that the famous timber mountain log ride gets a major overhaul. I have a season pass, and can't wait to ride it after college is over
This looks like the Swapmeet version of Splash Mountain
I was just going to say that reminds me of splash mountain..... lol
actually, I just took this ride this week. It was a great ride, very comparable to anything at Disneyland, with one huge difference....the price. Disney is way overpriced. And when I went there, 4 rides shut down AFTER I waited almost 2 hours on each. And right before I got on the roller coaster, a group from our school got stuck on the top. Thanks, but I'm through with Disney. Too much price. Too much hype. You'd think for all the bucks they make, they could keep their rides better maintained.
Only one ride was down during my two days at Knotts. I rode Excelerator 5 times. I had a great time. I hope to go back there or to the park that owns them, Cedar Point. Never again, will I pay money to go to any Disney park.
ikr it reminds me of splash mountain
Talking out of your ass like every disney obsessed idiot out there, enjoy spending $100 for a single day ticket I'll enjoy going on the first and best themed log ride in the country
rexrabbiteer jokes on you cause i have the annual passport. its paid itself off a very long time ago.
still a huge improvement to the previous log ride. can't wait for next year vacation!
log rides are fun cause when your are fluffy you can flash the camera
When your fluffy wtf
The log flume is my favorite ride at amusement park non roller coaster. There's nothing like the feeling of getting walloped around the track in a wooden boat with nice air time dips.
Definently looks like a Canadian based ride. lol
Was good to see this ride as Adam the woo went on this ride but he kept turning it back on to him self and I didn't see all of the ride so cool thank you for recording this hope you didn't get too wet lol he said if you sit in the middle of the log you don't get that wet lol xxx
these guys are lucky they get to travel all around the world to go on roller coasters
Thanks to you and your "log flume song" i end up singing it now everytime i watch your ride videos that have log flumes in them
I love log rides
Great memories of Knott's since I was a kid living a block from there in the 70's; we used to go all the time. My grandma liked to go there when it first opened for their chicken dinners in the 1940's. They used to have an alligator farm when you entered in at the front gate. Loved that place, it was without the chaos and expense of other amusement parks! The Knott's couple visited Disneyland to support Walt Disney when he first opened his park. At that time Knott's was bigger than Disneyland.
I wish someone would do a Then-and-Now comparison video.
This is way better than the old version. Nice video.
it seems as if the ride is now a minute or so faster?
Favorite ride EVER!!
its like splash mountain at disneyland!
This came first.
nvrm then lol cx
love this ride even though I looked scared in the picture lol yesterday I went. had so much fun! I love Knott's.
doubletroubletoil Splash mountain was July 17th 1989 which was AFTER this was built but this ride was not what inspired Imagineers to build this, it was the movie Country Bears Jamboree! If anyone knows about Disney, Its me
Actually, splash was inspired by a movie called Song of the South
y
This ride actually opened in 1969, 20 years before Splash Mountain and is even said to be the inspiration for the DL ride just down the street. Probably not too many commenters here know that. I first rode it in 1972.
I go wet wet wet 🌧💧🌧🌧🌧🌦☔️☔️💧
You Peed yourself ?
You posted this on my birthday :)
This looks a lil splish to Disney's "Splash" if you know what I'm sayin'.
no. actually i have no idea what your saying lol
lol "Splash", as in Splash Mountain? And this one looks like it's ripping right off of Disney's classic attraction.
oh.... i totally knew that.
This ride was there long before Splash Mountain and the biggest differance in it now is there's better and more audiomatronics. Disney copied from Knotts! I used to dance there with the Calico dancers back in the early 80's and boy do I have a lot of fond memories of this ride ;)
IL1KE2COMM3NT Yeah, except for the whole "this being built twenty years before Splash Mountain" thing. If you know what I'm saying.
I wish knotts had more rides. Silver bullet, excelorator, boomarang, and ghost rider are all fun but there is so much space that they can use for crazy awesome rides!
Literally splash mountain in the forest
Lizard Luver Timber Mountain came 20 years before Splash Mountain, and Disney borrowed heavily from this when Splash was in development.
+AdrenalineAddict610 no duh einstine
+Arch Yeomans wtf
+Lizard Luver um you spelled Einstein wrong sweetie
g my gym hiking dogg hunju in hjhj
gybghh.
Thats awesome! It was such a fun log jammer ride!
this ride came out decades before splash mountain came out at disney. idk why people say splash mpuntain is better. fuck disney i preffer knotts berry farm
Disney is more detailed.

Cheesy version of splash mountain lol
Other way around. Splash Mountain opened 20 years after this. Additionally, Tony Baxter, the Imagineer that originally devised Splash Mountain, directly cited Timber Mountain as inspiration for his creation.
+AdrenalineAddict610 oh thank you I didn't know that :)
There is also another side because the ride is based on a movie that was taken down by Disney because people claimed it was racist, but the ride was still based off this ride
t
Splash mountain IS cheesy.
Nice flume ride.One of the best I've seen.Thanks for sharing.
I remember going to this park back in 1976 when I was like 5 years old. I don't remember too much about the visit other than a roller coaster didn't make it up one of the hills it was suppose to climb and it slide back down. No one was hurt and I remember everyone laughing about it.

Love this ride SOO much
I will watch until the very end.
Besides, I visit Knotts Berry Farm since I was young to enjoy the ride. 😂😂😂
I love this ride!! First time I went on it was in 1986!! Last time was 2002. I really hope to go on it again some day!!
Looking great. Quality video, got all the scenes really well considering it's a log flume. The AA's look really good. Great vid!
This is the funnest ride ever
Ah, this brings back memories. This ride was one of my strong memories of Knotts when I was a kid.
Omg this was my favorite ride when I was a kid! And I'm going to go again this Friday! I was about 3 or 4 the last time I went on this ride. And now I am 12!
I CANNOT wait to see what they do with this during Haunt!
I just went on this ride yesterday!
To 3:36- 3:37-3:38 animatronic guy yelling: "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"!! Hahahah😄😄
Actually, the Log Ride in Six Flags Over Texas was the first Log Ride ever built, but you are partially right. This was the first THEMED Log Ride ever built; this was the second Log Ride ever built after the one in Texas.
That's done really well!
It's even better around the holidays when they've got it all Christmased out.
I can't wait to go. I'm going on Friday the 30th of January. Today is the 28th!!!! I'm going to go on that. I can't wait!
This is so cool!
This ride looks awesome.
great childhood memories at knots.
No one:
Me when i realize my homework isn't done: 2:06
Those look like the same animatronic characters from the old Elitch's in Denver!
Wow first time seeing a verified users with 1 like
I love this ride!
The similarities between this and Splash Mountain really are crazy. Start with going up a hill into a shack, go through scenes with lights on, a drop in the dark, scenes with lights off, up a hill, a scene as you go up the hill, and the same kind of bluegrass music although obviously Splash Mountain music >>>>>>
Love you guys you guys do awsome vids.
That looks great! The quint essential timber ride!
Wow. That flume looks incredibly good.
We rode it three times today. The robots look kind of cheesy but fun. It was really in a sad shape for awhile but they cleaned it up from top to bottom. Glad they finally restore the darkness to the first drop..
I loved the log ride
This is my FAVORITE log flume ride!!
no, it was originally a berry farm with a few rides, then it became a theme park owned by the knotts family for a while. cedar fair purchased it and started adding rides. what i'm trying to say is knotts is knotts. one of the best low priced themed parks around
Looks like a fun ride. Much better than the log ride at Six Flags St Louis I went on yesterday.
I love POV vids
This is my fave ride in Knotts
