[4K] Lucky River Log Flume with Reverse Drop & an Elevator/Gantry Lift On-Ride POV, Parc Spirou 2025

1st ever Park I gained outside the USA especially its seasonal (April-November according to sources; if we tried coming last year then it could’ve been a Bust) which is a Newest Park I went that opened in 2018 & themed to various unusual IPs for theming (Spirou, Marsupilamis, Smurfs, Daltons, etc.) named Parc Spirou which is Mostly the Family demographic small Park, For the one who arrives between 11:00 AM and stayed until Park closing at 6 PM (Works better in that park unlike Magic Mountain that is bigger during its off season), when the Green 4D coaster wasn’t open in the 1st place, Arrived to Spirou Racing first as it has about 16-18 riders per 1 train with a side of relief with Speedy operations to keep the line moving, ate up the rest of the 2 coaster credits which cycles 3 times each as Zierer’s new generation kids’ coasters as 1 and dones, then do select experiences I feel like doing including the bizarre small log flume. Anyways, Surprising Major POVs I got are all the coasters and Lucky River which counts to 5 for an edit, a rotation basis between the SoCal parks and this one when I have an ability to edit videos again soon. Overall for the park as a whole, I should accept it is what it is, a beginner theme park if you can call it one, but I don’t see myself revisiting it nor South Part of France to reunite slightly annoying family anytime soon, at least until the Upcoming Launched Zamperla Coaster I saw construction of Opens somewhere around 2026. Nethertheless, it’s a saving grace from a plain average reunion trip in Southern France with middle of nowhere & old looking visuals, part of me hopes that Parc Spirou fills more coaster gaps with more thrill factor with unused plot of lands

As for the Lucky River Log Flume as the only water ride in the Dry Park, due to the GoPro’s SD Card malfunction POVs on both sides of the vehicle in hyper view as the attraction has a long standby line with low capacity as a Surprise that Saves my time which is a Single Rider line to fill empty seats every party of 3!

As for the brief word review of my own: At first I thought it was just a small underwhelming & average Log Flume without Dark Ride Portions due to its small scale. But when I take a closer look at it, I was surprised with 1 standout Bizarre feature although I have an experience of an elevator on the water ride as SWSD’s soon to reopen from refurb Journey to Atlantis (Lucky River’s is just a straight up one instead of a tilt one), which is a Turntable on the top of the mini lift hill along with the Signature backwards drop as an unexpected feel, especially each log cruises backwards shortly after until the elevator entered in the same direction as the standard bigger drop. Overall as I don’t think it’s the best log flume as I put Timber Mountain Log Ride & Disneyland’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (Even the former Splash Mountain) over it even if I haven’t had time to try Jetstream as of yet, I should appreciate on how unique the experience is. There’s more to explore when my father even if he’s annoying sometimes plans a germany trip to visit another family member’s house while mentioning phantasialand that could be nearby, trying to balance a thoosie activity while looking at world landmarks hopefully if they’re impressive or boring to look at.

Log Flume


Lucky River is Parc Spirou's log flume tha was added to the theme park the year after ppening in 2019.
It features the usual log themed boats, which float through the ride's water trough.
Near the start of the ride is a +untable and back wards drop. Although it's only smal, depending on thew weight of the boat it can create quite a splash and get the back seat rider pretty Wet!
The middle part of the course is taken backwards, before the boat arrives at the ide's verticl ifthilt is swiftly ifted to the top and sent over the main drop, n splashing into the water below, before turning 180 degrees and floating back to the loading platform.
Lucky River is not as large as a lot of park log flumes, but the space is utilised well to create a fun - and potentially very wet!- ride. Using a vertical lift to save...
