paul boyton opened paul boyton's water chute, america's first modern amusement park, at 63rd and drexel in chicago, illinois, on july 4, 1894. boyton's was the first amusement park to rely solely on mechanical attractions. paul boyton and thomas polk built another example in 1895 for sea lion park at coney island. the ride was widely copied and "chute" rides were found at many amusement parks throughout the united states, and even became the name of several amusement parks. while the original form of the ride is largely obsolete, modern log flume rides work on similar principles.
