Can this be deduced from the log flume? I keep watching till I’m sure, at least for today: Yes, that’s how it is. Human beings like to experience things together – and the same way. Especially the kids insist on experimenting and ultimately, after two or three rides, they’re all equally drenched through and through. Who gets more drenched? Which seat gets the biggest splash? So they have to try out the other seats to find out. They compare who’s wetter, showing off their soaked trousers and T-shirts: “Look! Look!” Then they walk or run back to the start for another ride, though sitting in a different order seeing as you might not get as wet in every seat. Laughing and still in their logs, they turn round to see whether the others got splashed too. Some get thoroughly drenched, even wetter than on most log flumes, or so it seems to me. What happens next is always the same: the passengers screech and squeal, some flinging up their arms, as the log shoots down the long slide… and – smack! – into the pool of water at the bottom with a great big splash. ![]() Over and over again, I watch as the logs are tugged at an agonizingly slow pace up to the very top of the chute, then that exciting moment as the nose of each log levels off and then tilts down for the final drop. This is an old rule of thumb, in life as in adventure movies. After all, even little adventures are best shared with one’s familiars. Families, or small groups of friends, usually share a log, but mutual strangers hardly ever do. Each log has three or four seats in single file – more on that score in a minute. The “logs” are pulled up a rollercoaster-like construction… and then slide down at high speed into a pool of water. I, on the other hand, sit down on a bench with my notebook as throngs of fun-seekers revolve around me – and that’s a good thing: I can jot down what I observe and that’ll be my column about contemporary society – at least the slice of society presented to me today. After which they go back around and start again: just about everyone here is in perpetual motion. Around me are groups of nuclear families rushing from one attraction to the next, from the carousel to the roller coaster, from the giant slide to the soft ice cream stand. It's a warm summer's day, as genial as can be: not too hot, a little cloudy, ideal weather for a day at a theme park. Sharing adventures with family and friends They’re happy with the arrangement and so am I. ![]() They don't get lost and don't usually engage in risky behaviour, so all they really need me for is to pay for the fun. They’re big boys now and pretty independent, they don’t need me chaperoning them around all day. That sort of thing is for my kids, who spend the whole time going from one ride to the next.
