History
The Rocky Hollow Log Ride opened with Dreamworld on 15 December 1981. It was one of the park's original attractions. Since its opening, the ride has been refurbished several times which includes the reconstruction of both drops. The Rocky Hollow Log Ride closed on 16 April 2016 due to an accident. It re-opened on 20 April 2016 having received the ‘all clear’ from independent and Worksafe Queensland inspectors.
Queue
Guests queue in an undercover area which is located alongside the station and splashdown area. Guests with a Q4U virtual queuing device must enter via the ride's exit path.
Station
To access the station guests must walk up a small series of stairs and cross to the centre of the station. The station is made up of four platforms in a two by two layout. The back two are for unloading guests while the front two are for loading guests. This station configuration allows a higher throughput and therefore capacity.
Ride
Once boarded the four passenger logs guests follow a short path towards a building. Concealed inside the building is a short conveyor belt lift hill. A drop quickly follows with the log's splashdown occurring outside of the building. A slow boat ride then follows weaving between buildings and going under caves before the final drop is approached. A second conveyor belt takes riders up the final drop within a tunnel. Once at the top the log goes back out into the open before dropping a steady drop to the splashdown. A 180° bend follows before the ride returns to the station.
