Two people were taken to the hospital Sunday following a ride malfunction aboard the log flume at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson.
The two riders were taken to a hospital: one for arm pain and the other for leg pain.
The log flume is one of the park's original rides in the Frontier Land section. Riders go up a steep lift, and then ride on an elevated river around the tree tops before two small drops. At the end, one more lift takes you up to the final drop before you splash back to the finish.  
The ride was shut down last night for inspection.  
In a statement, a spokeswoman for Six Flags says, “Our First Aid staff assisted several guests who were in a Log Flume boat that did not complete its cycle. The safety of our guests and employees is our highest priority. Two guests were transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The ride will remain closed for a full inspection.”
