You could go on it about 5 times in a row without queuing, pretty cool, if you like the ride hahaWhilst I wouldn't run straight to it; I view it as the best Log Flume in this country and second best water ride I've been on in the UK after Tidal Wave - so I can understand people running to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still chucks you about a bit, but in a less painful way than before, if that makes sense.LOL...Just... LOL... I would go on, but that should be kept to the Colossus topic...Loggers Leap though...

Benin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 ^My problem with Tidal Wave is that it gets you TOOOOO wet... So isn't really that rideable unless it's a day like today, which of course are pretty rare in the UK...Loggers is more rideable in the colder parts of the season, so it just edges it... Especially with the double drop... Best drop in the UK by far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.man Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 The dark section has a massive gap at the top so its not dark when your going down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.man Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I know, it stinks! I could smell it on me all day, Storm Surge is chlorine infected so its clean, but this and Rumba are discusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've never found the water that bad - could be better, but it's not terrible.There was that dodgy smell after the tunnel mind, though I haven't actually noticed that this season at all..

Ryan Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Today I had such an awful taste in my mouth and it stunk so much, not the only person in my group to notice this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I agree with you all it's pretty horrid and I hate the smell I allways carry deodorant to make me smell fresh lol but I still love the ride it's epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 That's a good idea Dano :DIt's never really bothered me that much, I've just adapted to it and it's now just become part of the experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I think that would be a change I would be willing to accept for an e-coli free Loggers Leap experience.(note Loggers Leap water doesn't actually contain e-coli) I am really glad that you added that extra bit at the end, just imagine what the Daily Mail would do if they came across a post about e-colit!

Phill Pritchard Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yes it is not very nice, but I think I have got used to it after all these years. I think it would be really strange if the water was suddenly chlorine treated, just out of the blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippy Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 ive always wondered inside the first drop what is the little red light thats infront of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 'trippy said: I've always wondered inside the first drop what is the little red light thats infront of you?The one inside the tunnel is an infra-red light so that the security camera which is above it can see what riders are doing and can see the ride etc. Mer and TP Daniel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I believe it's an infra- red camera so they can see that the ride and guests are behaving themselves.Edit: Luke beat me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
