American Plunge is a Log Flume at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. The queing-line of this ride is parallel to the path to Silver Dollar City's one and only steel looping coaster, Wildfire.

[edit] History

The American Plunge notably replaced Jim Owens Float Trip, a boat ride around a man-made river with animatronics. Some sections of the original ride's man-made river were reused for the log flume.

[edit] Rider Experience

In this ride you travel through different scenes, including a man that appears to be drowning. After all of the scenes, you go through a tunnel, up a lift-hill, and down a steep drop into water. Then you slowly float around the exit path back into the station.
