The Log Flume at Alton Towers Resort opened in 1981 and was the longest log flume attraction in the world at the time of opening. It was subsequently de-commissioned in 2016 to make way for the Resort’s latest attraction, Secret Weapon 8 (SW8), which is due to open in 2018.

Among the 39 Lots, items listed will include 30 individual flume boats, ride signage and the ride’s former height board.

Alongside the auction of the flume boats, the team at Alton Towers Resort have created a top ten list of possible DIY uses for a former flume boat:

* Garden planter

* Period bath tub

* Red Bull soap box entry

* Emergency sledge / Bobsleigh

* Themed bed

* Children’s ball pool or sandpit

* Dog bath

* Trailer or storage unit

* Fish Pond

* Giant BBQ
