Matt 236 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Very happy about Depth Charge's refresh, shame about Loggers though. (Let the merlin bashing begin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Let's not bash. Merlin are wonderful. Loggers looks better than ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project LC Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wouldn't go as far to say merlin are wonderful. There are still many things they could be doing better (get rid of VIP for one). However for the time being it would seem Thorpe have done a good Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattgwise Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Anyone know what's up with Loggers? Been down since Friday according to the queue-times site. Unusual for it to be down nearly a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 It was only open for an hour that last day it was open. I assume they are just doing maintenance to it/ waiting for a part. I doubt it will be much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt10 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Over the last month or so it has been breaking down quite a lot with the water draining while the ride has been running and then it has had to stop running and evac most of the time so might be a water pressure problem or a drainage one...

lewumbrajumbos Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 There were parts for something which arrived outside of Samurai on Friday night and were gone on Saturday don't know if it was for Samurai or Loggers but during Saturday members of ride staff were looking at the empty trough before the rip tunnel lift hill for a considerable amount of time .. ?

Matt10 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Might suggest a sensor fault or there might have been something stuck in the conveyor or another conveyor related incident or the actual trough may be broken.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt10 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Underneath the latter of the outside area of saw, there are a load of water pumps connected to loggers leap suggesting there are water pressure issues or a system failure, or the tunnel area and surrounding bit may have flooded as in these areas the water level beside the trough was high in the tunnel and after there was a lot more water on the land then usual after the tunnel, which could mean the actual ride itself has flooded or a pipe was/is broken that is used to fill up the trough after the first drop or take water from before the hill.

GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 does anyone know what's happening to loggers next year?? is it staying, or is it undergoing a huge refurb or is it being removed????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just in case the rumours are true and loggers has leaped its last I took a final ride on it yesterday with a little tear of nostalgia in my eye. Hopefully the rumours prove to be unfounded, but as a betting man my money is remaining safely in my pocket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I went on Loggers, Slammer and X with the mindset that it could be my last ever rides on them yesterday, but realistically I think that Slammer is the only one which is likely to go this winter. I don't fear for the future of Loggers - it is one of the best queue shifters on park these days and a good log flume (it would be so much better with some TLC though, and bring back the tunnel!) pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I did Slammer twice and Loggers twice on Sunday in case they are unavailable next year. X I'm not bothered about tbh so I didn't ride it. lots of rumours flying around about Loggers and it will be sad if it's not open next year but if it needs work doing on it then so be it (it is very old now!) - I personally never bother with Tidal Wave during the summer as it gets me too wet whereas Loggers gets me nice and refreshed wet (though it tastes nasty!). The other water rides bar Tidal Wave are pointless going on if your intention is to get wet - would be good if they did something to Rumba so you actually do get wet rather than the odd bit of splash if your lucky pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I really hope Loggers doesn't go, log flumes are such a signature attraction for me at a theme park GladiatorFanKyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm not expecting Loggers to go anywhere yet, however should it be receiving a major refurbishment next year, I will expect it to shut down in September time [which would make more sense considering it gets colder an darker then]. Â Slammer & X might be going [however the latter seems unlikely]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 If the talk is true of Thorpe have some rides down all season and Loggers being one of them, I seriously hope to see a big clean up of the ride.. I'm not talking BTM at Paris style, but an entire season down means they better be up-keeping (aside from the ride hardware it's obviously lacked with Tussauds/Merlin) one of the best log flumes around.. that includes the tunnel !

pluk Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015  I don't want to worry anyone, but there's something missing from the ride line up page...  https://www.thorpepark.com/rides/  X is there, Slammer is there, everything else is there. Loggers ... is not.  Should I be moving this topic to another area of the forum?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Removing Loggers would be a terrible decision. Â Really hope that's just an error. holtjammy16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
