This authentic 1970s color photograph, captured in 1975, documents the Shenandoah Lumber Company log flume during the inaugural season of Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. The archival image features a log-themed ride vehicle carrying several passengers as it descends a steep turquoise-colored water chute from a rustic wooden lift hill. The attraction is set within a dense forest of towering pine trees, which provided a naturalistic backdrop for the park’s Old Virginia themed area. Spectators can be seen lining the wooden boardwalk on the right, watching the boats navigate the watercourse. Designed by Arrow Dynamics, this twin-flume attraction was one of the park’s original signature rides when it officially opened in May 1975. The ride was designed to mimic the logging operations once common in the Blue Ridge Mountains, featuring heavy timber construction and weathered wood siding. Today, the attraction is still standing and remains operational at Kings Dominion, now known simply as Shenandoah Lumber Co., and continues to be a favorite classic family ride. This factual record captures the pristine condition and original aesthetic of one of Virginia’s most iconic amusement park landmarks during its first year of operation.
