October 24, 200816 yr comment_37193 Probably was American Adventure then, couldn't really remember and TPJ is down so I couldn't check. I'm sure the BPB flume was either the longest or tallest though.
October 24, 200816 yr comment_37262 Ahh loggers, what a ride Great length and very enjoyable final drop! One thing I like about loggers is the peacfulness and awayness from the rest of the park. Well the section between the first and second drops anyway. I will miss that next year with the noises of SAW.
October 24, 200816 yr comment_37263 Loggers was definitely broke down when we were there! People in queue had to leave. It was open last time at FN.
February 11, 200916 yr comment_44353 I love Loggers Leap.I have been on log flumes in the UK and USA manufactured by Mack and Loggers Leap is still my favourite!
February 23, 200916 yr comment_45597 I love Loggers Leap.I have been on log flumes in the UK and USA manufactured by Mack and Loggers Leap is still my favourite! I agree it is good but I think it has had its day and now needs to go
February 23, 200916 yr comment_45604 Seriously?! Getting rid of a very good and very popular ride seems a bit of a dodgy idea to me. What would you replace Loggers with?
February 23, 200916 yr comment_45625 Number 9, don't be daft! "what would you replace Loggers with?" An S&S Piratge's Plunge, of course.No, really Loggers Leap is one of the very best log flumes around. The day that goes, will be a very sad one indeed.
March 19, 200916 yr comment_49252 Does anyone think it will be open by the weekend, it really does eat up some queues and also is a good ride to get away from the rest of the park.
March 19, 200916 yr comment_49254 does any one think it will be open by the weekend, it realy does eat up some queues and also is a good ride to get away from the rest of the park.It's anyones guess. I would say that it has a good chance. It has been filling up this week, but I havn't seen any boats going round the track as of yet.
March 19, 200916 yr comment_49255 It was testing with boats today, I don't think they have all been put back on yet though.
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49302 Yeah I saw that, if the weather stays nice, that's gonna go down well with everyone at Thorpe
March 20, 200916 yr comment_49303 Yeah I saw that, if the weather stays nice, that's gonna go down well with everyone at Thorpe Weather is looking great for saturday and sunday but its going back on monday, its good that loggers is open no day at Thorpe is complete without a ride on Loggers.
April 30, 200916 yr comment_54417 I love this ride sooooo much. I once went to thorpe park and spent the WHOLE DAY on this ride lol
May 2, 200916 yr comment_54496 I love this ride sooooo much. I once went to thorpe paqrk and spent the WHOLE DAY on this ride lolNo offence but that seems like a waste of time.
May 2, 200916 yr comment_54562 No offence but that seems like a waste of time.True but that was before I was into the bigger rides so much. Nowdays I just tend to go on it a couple of times per visit but I always make a point to get on it every time lol
May 2, 200916 yr comment_54563 I love this ride sooooo much. I once went to thorpe paqrk and spent the WHOLE DAY on this ride lolAh but did you ride it all day for Charity?
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56704 Logger's Leap is now unavailable according to the TP website. Hopefully it will be up again soon.
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56706 Damn. Going thursday and if Loggers and Slammer are down thats two of my favourite rides unavailable. :PWhat exactly is wrong with Loggers?
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56707 Damn. Going thursday and if Loggers and Slammer are down thats two of my favourite rides unavailable. :PWhat exactly is wrong with Loggers?I'm not sure, but usually it's just something minor and the ride is back up and running shortly.
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56711 So I was having a think earlier,Is it possible to fall out of Loggers Leap on the drop?In some ways I think it's quite possible. Last time I went hands free I lifted out of my seat on the big drop.However, you will only fall out if you are being stupid, for example standing up.Have there ever been any incidents on the ride?Also, is it possible for the log to fall back down the lift chain on the main drop?
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56712 It is possible to fall out, I.e.: if you are being stupid and standing up, or jump. And no, it is not possible for the logs to roll back down the lift hill on the main drop. As you travel up the lift hill you will see and hear the little catches on the side of the chute clicking. These hold the boat in place and stop it from falling down.
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56713 You are correct in the fact that you will only really risk falling out if you are acting like an arse and standing up. If you are holding out (which you should really be) then you will be fine.The boats won't roll back down the lift hill because they have the little ratchets on the side of the drop which will catch it if the lift stops, the same way rollercoaster chain lifts have the little metal catches on the lifts. I hope that makes sense.As far as I know there have never been any incidents on Loggers Leap or any other Merlin log flume for that matter.Edit: Paul beat me to it!

Obviously if you muck around and start standing up and getting out of your seat then theres a chance you might hurt yourself. Same for Rumba Rapids you could freely jump out if you wanted but if you follow instructions you wont. A bit of a silly post to be honest.Its not possible for the boat to fall back down as there are ratchets all the was up the hill which spring back when the boat passes through it so if the lift was to stop it would be completely safe. Thats what the clicking noise is when you travel up the lift. It's the same principal for Rollercoaster lift hills.EDIT: Paul and James beat me to it
May 25, 200916 yr comment_56721 I may be completely wrong but is this the old attraction left in the park?
