The ride concluded with a 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) drop causing all riders to become soaked.

Since opening, the Rocky Hollow Log Ride, alongside, Thunder River Rapids Ride, were the park’s most popular attractions, surpassing the popularity of Tower of Terror, The Giant Drop and Cyclone.

During this closure, many of the tunnel sections were demolished due to safety concerns and bars were added to the logs (like a cage) to prevent guests from standing and falling out.

[11] A few months later on 8 February 2020, Dreamworld announced that the Rocky Hollow Log Ride would not return from scheduled maintenance and would be closed permanently.

The news came alongside an announcement for a refurbishment of the ABC Kids World themed area and the Hot Wheels SideWinder roller coaster.

At the time of its closure, The Rocky Hollow Log Ride was one of the park’s nine family rides alongside Dreamworld Express, Escape from Madagascar, Gingy’s Glider, MAD Jungle Jam, Shockwave, Skadoosh Bumper Cars, Sky Voyager and Vintage Car Adventure.

[14] The ride reached a maximum speed of 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) and had a drop height of 11.3 metres (37 ft).

A slow boat ride then follows weaving between buildings and initially going under caves before the final drop is approached.

[5] On 16 April 2016, 18 year-old Samson Sherrin stood up during the ride and fell out, sustaining serious injuries.

He was run over by two other boats and he sustained hip, rib and ankle fractures, neck and head injuries and acute respiratory failure.
