...And pretty much stay that way actually.
Things start out calmly enough.
After a hard turn you are off down the river.
The African themed loading turntable.
Like every self respecting major theme park, a river rapids ride calls Alton Towers home.
The ride has quite good capacity...That long line you can see is 10 minutes at most.
The ride has a rather fiendish feature, a shower that soaks you mercilessly as you pass under.
A couple of turns later and you are back at the station.
Seconds from disaster on the final drop.
A tunnel later in the ride contains some 'interesting' theming.
About to head up to the pitch black drop.
A good deal of the ride is meandering back and forth along an elevated trough through some dense woodlands.
You actually pass rather close to the Skyride gondolas while ascending the flume lift.
The first lift of the flume, as seen from above.
A turntable loading station allows guests to board the ride safely and quickly.
In recent years, a sponsorship deal with Cussons Imperial Leather soap saw the ride given a bath time theme.
The flume is an Alton Towers classic.
There's always something hidden just out of view to be discovered here.
The gardens occupy a large valley on the eastern side of the park. A sizable waterfall takes advantage of this.
