LAUNCHED LOG FLUME: Catapult Falls, Intamin Water Ride, SeaWorld San Antonio

[@ThaMango1]

Woah that themeing is insane, they did a great job with the $10 budget

[@erikjohnson2594]

Should be called Elevator Falls.

[@Meatball2022]

They have a “journey to Atlantis” flume ride there. That theming is just as amazing…

[@RobertR1611]

You can only buy so much at the dollar store

[@_A_Cube]

They spent all the money on the launch 💀

[@George_vv]

Me when I have that Planet Coaster mod that lets any ride have a launch track:

[@Zeta_Beetle_at_Zenkai_Studios]

You can do something similar in RCT3 with Block Breaks. No joke!

[@FlightcoasterChronicles48]

I need that

[@NickyD]

@@Zeta_Beetle_at_Zenkai_Studios right rct 3 man i got launch speeds up to 200 on a strata coaster no joke dont get me started on wooden caoster with 1000 plus with a. cheat code

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

@@Zeta_Beetle_at_Zenkai_Studios Or with chain lifts.

[@Zeta_Beetle_at_Zenkai_Studios]

@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 how? They don’t go that fast, do they?

[@ccollazo1315]

This seaworld needs more love, they just got a sequel to infinity falls and a launch with trim brakes at the end, what the hell.

[@BenBen-xy6rh]

ok but that drop actually intense wow

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Launched log flume? Sounds like a maintenance nightmare.

[@DotHimUp_Shorts]

It's intamin. Oc it is 😂

[@sabki-]

Don’t forget the elevator lift😭😭😭

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

It kinda reminds me of another launch coaster that was a Matinence nightmare

[@memelord9737]

I mean the launch is just a conveyor system so it hopefully shouldn't be anything too difficult to maintain.

[@Spiritwonder420]

Theme park community be like something new let's be negative about it

[@jess.hawkins]

Wow, didn't know Intamin made log flumes -thought they were an exclusive steel coaster house, or am I thinking of Bolliger&Mabillard? A launched log flume... That's... UNIQUE to say the least!

[@TanyaQueen182]

same

[@izaakmichellediefenbach8268]

Explanation of the sign. San Antonio is in Bexar County. It is pronounced the same as the animal so it an inside joke for the locals.

[@Meatball2022]

Somewhere, somehow, someone is going to say “there’s no such animal as a bexar”…

[@HMFan2010]

Okay, I was about to suggest that the artist’s graphic design license be revoked...

[@david33mtrb]

I live in Dallas and even got the joke immediately. (Maybe because I’m a historian? 😄)

[@Visually_FX_YT]

I log flume that launches is just awesome!

[@CubbyTech]

Yeah, that's a potential soaker. Nice capture!

[@darkridearts]

This looks really cool!

[@drewcorry5056]

Looks Absolutely Awesome

[@MaxSpeeder]

I’ve been on this ride, it was really fun

[@mynameiskrysta]

3:21 are those trim brakes? They are 💀

[@ultragummer]

Nice one, but theming?

[@deshonjb]

I love this. If only better theming!

[@nathanthompson4842]

The entire area look bare with no trees like the animation shows with trees

[@r.c.ekingston]

You know that trees need time to grow, right? They don’t just spawn in overnight.

[@LaKellita1]

Why would there be trees?

[@Anthony2959-h5x]

That seems like a fun ride, I like to get on water rides.

[@Sauci55on]

Looks quite boring, and not a big soaker. They managed to put TRIMS on a flume! Now these airtime hills look like they don’t do anything lol. At least there’s the launch and lift that are somewhat interesting. What is your favorite log flume ? Mine is currently Menhir Express at Parc Astérix, wich zips at a good speed through its layout, feels like a river rapids ride most of the time, and has two good drops that get you soaking wet. It does lack a bit of proper theming though.

[@staciebusby]

Average thoosie when a ride operator “staples” them and doesn’t give them 10 inches of airtime

[@MrPatrickbuit]

Chiapas!

[@clubstep8244]

Chiapas masterrace

[@nvcflipz]

launched logflume😁nice.... Only negative point are the brakes after the launch😡

[@chewieone1064]

Great idea, launched log flumes will be the future for the same reasons as launched coasters 😄 but the trim brake on the bunny hop is really a bummer. Bet it ruins a lot of the onride fotos 🥺

[@blksoul26]

Water rides are funny. You want to get wet but don’t really want to get wet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@arcdare357]

That looks like fun

[@TanyaQueen182]

okay this is a good lookin ride!

[@Bob-w2b8j]

This needs way more theming for those slow sections

[@johnnyr8603]

I once rode the log ride at Busch Gardens and the log stopped at the top and the water turned off. They sent someone to help me get down. When the person is about to reach me the water randomly started and I feel back into the log as the log soared all the way down the slide. I could have fallen to my death but there I was. Scary and thrilling at the same time! Don’t know if I’d ever ride that again though!!

[@sp_mba7952]

I would be there someday 🥰🥰🥰 my dream destination ❤😊

[@HMFan2010]

That looks like fun! Points to the graphic designer for emulating the WPA art style for the “Catapult Falls” billboard.

[@crazybird199]

That lift there looks a bit too narrow. Hopefully those boats are heavy enough to prevent guests from tipping it!

[@crazycoasters_5520]

I operated rides at SFOG and Intamin is a maintenance nightmare especially Acrophobia. Another manufacturer is Skyline Attractions because Kid Flash was always having downtime or closed

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

this looks like the future of log flume rides since they wouldn't need lift hills

[@MSTiekims9952]

Intamin using elevator lifts is a bit of a necessity for them after the disaster of their log flume at Cedar Point. Their regular lift hill didn’t work so well….

[@BethDillingham-sj9cj]

I’m going there today

[@nataliegillmore7436]

I wanna go on a ride like this.

[@aaronermis4082]

Looks OK I guess. The launch and the drop I’m sure are thrilling but all that dead time with no theming really kills it.

[@vanapotamus6348]

Planet Coaster 2 better add this

[@khausere7]

Bexar Crossing is for Bexar County, where San Antonio is located.

[@AUTMUSENETWORK]

is that rudy

[@Katie-r8k]

I’ve been on that ride before

[@SlushysSecret]

The elevator for the very underwhelming drop seems pointless, should’ve added the standard lift hill which would’ve made it more thrilling

[@lorengorsline1395]

Greenish Blue

[@zinzinnatiohio]

So many brakes…what ever happened to the good’ol days of letting the water slow down log flume cars? LoL

[@coxie2foxy]

Imagine a roll back on this thing?

[@adakalyoncu1913]

There are drive tires so even if it crawls to the base of the climb without launch being activated it can go up as if it is a tiny lift hill, launch is optional

[@SimpleLifeUwU]

The theming is bad, but the ride looks fun.

[@tomsautocadstudio6446]

I hope this is in planet coaster 2.

[@bufu4777]

Why is there trims on a log flume ?????

[@MaryHernandez-5909]

At least the water is clean..😏

[@jandrew1994]

2 year wait for a mid water ride that isn't even as good as texas splashdown was back in my childhood days.

[@southpuddle]

Would recommend watching in at least 1.75 speed 😅

[@wildearth3992]

This look boring

[@LucyLoud2002]

This ride is bound to be maintenance hell for sure

[@jacobhuddleston149]

San Antonio is in Bexar county.

[@ehinesdrum]

Bexar County, TX.

[@mariannesanders2831]

Klasse klasse ich wil gerne mail mit fahren❤ 4:32

[@aaronriggan2373]

The "Bexar Crossing" sign is because San Antonio is in Bexar county (pronounced like "bear").

[@AmusementInsider]

🙏 thanks

[@DelaniaAndTheDogs]

If it was cold that day the soaking would be very unpleasant.

[@savannah4439]

“Bexar Crossing” is a play on words bc Bexar (pronounced like “bear”) is the name of the county that San Antonio is in!

[@jzckvsn]

Idk man, the ride looks heavily trimmed. Makes the launch much more underwhelming

[@ChrisCcron10]

So say a boat is on the elevator lift and it is on it's way to the top and a bunch of kids think it's funny to try to wobble it. I'm not seeing any guiderails or anything to prevent lateral movement on that section. Ever since the Shoot the Rapids incident I've been very suspicious of Intamin's water attractions.

[@aswisshuman637]

the boat is on a dry space and balanced. so nothing should happen. Also play stupid games win stupid prices you cant idiot proof everything and ruin it for others

[@Kyle_The_Mighty]

@@aswisshuman637 I'm thinking less of kids being stupid (although kids will be stupid, that's a given) and more of just things happening. Strong wind, or even an earthquake seems like a recipe for disaster.

[@RollerCoasterBug]

Bexar is the county and is pronounced Bear. I live just scross the street from the park. Thought the county was pronounced bexar for so long until I went to a government building

[@natewasserman2559]

Someone might have a ready said it, but the “Bexar Crossing” sign is a pun. Bexar is pronounced “Bear” and it’s the county that San Antonio resides in. A niche joke lol

[@wherethetatosat]

It's not that the launch isn't cool, I'm just scratching my head at why they would only propel you about 30 feet. Seems like a waste.

[@Thelightning1out]

That launch is so depressing

[@brianriback6285]

This looks pretty lame to me and over-complicated for no reason.

[@Green_mask_man]

no

[@philcol86]

"Bexar crossing" is making fun of Bexar County. The county you are in

[@AmusementInsider]

oh 😅😅

[@honeysuckle754]

It’s also pronounced similar to “bear”, the ‘x’ is more of a soft ‘h’ sound

[@jappedut9009]

That's the problem with water rides 90% of the time nothing happens

[@liamhawn1414]

I guess it uses water to lunch the bouts

[@The-Coaster-Craze]

No

[@JamesDean-cy6pm]

The launch is a bit of a gimmick… but it’s so poorly themed? Log flumes are usually really well themed, this is just barren!

[@jamesfont1083]

Bexar is the county you are in.
