Pascal's principle states that when pressure is applied to a confined liquid, this pressure is transmitted, without loss, throughout the entire liquid and to the walls of the container.

Archimedes principle states that any object (that floats) will displace a volume of fluid equal to it's weight.

Bernoulli's principle involves the movement of a fluid through a pressure difference. Suppose a fluid is moving in a horizontal direction and encounters a pressure difference. This pressure difference will result in a net force, which by Newton's 2nd law will cause an acceleration of the fluid.

Pressure + (kinetic energy/volume) = constant

Combine all of these together to consider the flume ride. This is the ride where riders are loaded into a floating vessel, which must satisfy Archimedes' principle. The vessel then leisurely moves through water an up a ramp to a "river", which is there because a pump added pressure to water in pipes to change the elevation of the water. The flume is a closed system, so the water must cycle from the lower areas to the upper areas via pumps and pipes.

Finally, when you reach the drop off area the water suddenly accelerates which obeys Bernoulli's principle in both kinetic energy and volume. Did you notice how the water on the fall is shallow compared to the river at the top and the bottom?
