When the boat left the load station it moved further forward toward the main channel before reaching a brake system. Each Viking-themed boat arranged riders inline in four rows. Riders boarded one of twenty-two, four-person boats. The station was made up of four platforms which allowed two boats to load as another two were unloading. The queue crossed part of the ride's track and into the centre of the station. Riders joined the queue which began alongside the station of the ride.

On 10 December 2016, the Viking's Revenge Flume Ride was confirmed to be permanently closed by Village Roadshow Theme Parks. Several components were removed from the ride during this period, and all signage was removed from the park. In November 2016, in the wake of a fatal incident at nearby park Dreamworld, which triggered safety audits in amusement parks across Queensland, the ride was closed indefinitely for extensive maintenance. In late 2012, the ride's course was rerouted to make way for the construction of the park's 2013 attraction, Storm Coaster, on the site of the former Bermuda Triangle ride. After a soft-opening in 1978, the ride officially opened in March 1979. The final cost of the ride turned out to be $350,000 - a fraction of what Arrow Dynamics wanted. He made several overseas trips to measure the dimensions of similar rides. John Menzies decided this price was too high and began constructing the ride in-house. American firm Arrow Dynamics was approached, however, they asked $1.5 million to construct it. In the late 1970s, Sea World set about adding a log flume to their park. Viking's Revenge Flume Ride was a log flume at the Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast, Australia. Riders are arranged 1 across in 4 rows for a total of 4 riders per boat.
