You cant assume straight-line inflation. It could've easily been much cheaper in the past, and only spiked relatively recently.
But regardless, I'm guessing there's also quite a difference between what you **can** build a basic flume ride for, and what it costs to build one commiserate with a park like Carowinds. They're not going to build one just so they can say they have one, it would be something that dresses up nice and can be highlighted as a centerpiece. And that's a lot more substantial than most random small parks have.

Very unlikely. How many small parks over the years could have afforded a (adijusted for inflation) $30 million dollar log flume.
