The ride is set in a community called Lost River which is a logging community that takes the riders into an abandoned saw mill

Ride

Riders board on a log themed car and go into a pipe. As the vehicle enter the pipe, there's a fluttering noise and red eyes glowing. Riders leave the pipe and there is a bear wrecking a tent. The vehicle makes a sharp turn and goes up a steep lift hill. Once on top, there is a saw coming towards the riders which then turns to the 60 degree drop and then take a sharp turn and pull into the station.

gollark: I mean, how do you fix it and also not allow the weirdness?
gollark: That sounds weird and arbitrary, but whatever; how do you fix that?
gollark: Okay.
gollark: I don't see what you mean by "preventing tail calls" and somehow that putting it in the right place.
