Residents of Sheffield were surprised to find an Alton Towers log flume boat washed up on the river bank this morning. The boat, which typically carries riders through a water flume at the popular theme park, was found abandoned near a local park.

Authorities are investigating how the boat ended up in Sheffield, as it is quite a distance from its original location at Alton Towers. Some speculate that it may have been stolen and dumped in the river.

Alton Towers officials have been notified of the situation and are working to retrieve the boat. In the meantime, residents are enjoying the unexpected sight and speculating about how the boat made its way to Sheffield.
