Description

Antique view postcard 
Circa 1910
Postmark Salt Lake City UT

109 - Nice and relaxed ? 
Summertime fun at a seasonal amusement park in Utah's largest city. Swimming Corgi!  

Shoot the Chute is an amusement ride consisting of a flat-bottomed boat that slides down a ramp or inside a flume into a lagoon. Unlike a log flume, a Shoot the Chute ride generally has larger boats and one single drop. Since its invention in Chicago Illinois in 1884, the ride was widely copied and "Chute" rides were found at many amusement parks throughout the United States by 1900.

No lift car on those either! Had to walk to the top yourself on most of them. ...waterparks haven't improved much at all, come to think of it. $65 to get in and you still gotta climb ten flights of stairs....
