How do you fancy having a log flume boat in your back garden?

Alton Towers has put its famous water attraction for sale on eBay !

There are 39 lots up for grabs, meaning you could buy one of 30 individual boats, the ride’s former height board and even the signage saying “mind your head” and "no splashing please".

All money raised will go to Merlin’s Magic Wand, supporting disabled and disadvantaged children worldwide.

The sale started on Monday (September 4) with lots starting at just 99p but the bids quickly rose to £200 for a boat and £40 for a sign.

Auctions will continue until Thursday, September 14.

It was the longest log flume in the world when it first opened at Alton Towers in 1981.

And, on April 17, 1994, the Staffordshire amusement park received some very special visitors when Princess Diana went on the log flume with William and Harry, not worrying a bit about getting their hair wet.

The flume was de-commissioned in 2016 to make way for the Resort’s latest attraction, Secret Weapon 8 (SW8), which is due to open in 2018.
