The Black Lives Matter movement has caused a lot of fans (and companies) to take a step back and look at their content to decide whether or not it’s deemed appropriate in the 21st century.

A look at the history of the log flume ride

Many of us have an early childhood memory of our very first log flume ride, whether it was a ride through Splash Mountain at Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm’s Timber Mountain, or perhaps a local rendition at a nearby state amusement park.
