November 11, 20159 yr comment_223155 Surely they would have said something if the ride was up for removal? Even if only in the last week, to give people the option to get their last rides on it? What could possibly fit on the Loggers site anyway? Considering that there's a massive lake in the middle of it, I can't see there being many options of rides able to fit there.
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223162 a log flume is a signature ride... it will be a shame there won't be one in 2016... but they will replace or it keep and give it a major refurb... I'm still waiting for an RMC to fit around the train track and loggers, perfect canadian theme
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223175 No! They can't get rid of Loggers Leap. For a traditional log-flume it's a soaker. You get wet enough to feel soggy and refreshed, whereas Tidal Wave is every man for himself. A log flume is a traditional staple of modern day theme-parks. I would be gutted if TP lost LL. However, I wouldn't be sad if Towers lost their Flume
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223184 If Loggers doesn't return next year, and is left to rust like CCR, I will be very annoyed. If they don't close that area, With one ride which is awesome but never attracts much crowds, I will be depressed as it would no longer look like (an unthemed) Canada and more like the middle of an abandoned village...
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223197 And there goes one of only four decent rides as Thorpe Park. What a shame, I had a bit of a soft spot for Loggers, and Canada Creek as a whole. Probably is time for an update though...
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223199 If Loggers does leave it can hopefully take The Flume down with it. Gotta say a RMC or a GCI Woodie would fit loveley into Loggers place.
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223201 Well they could always re-drag up the 'proposed' B&M flyer that was to swoop over the lake (yeh right..) Loggers is such a great log flume, as already mentioned, farr better than the flume. Fingers crossed that it is a heavy fix up and clean up of theme, rather than a God awful Merlin re-theme/modernization.
November 11, 20159 yr comment_223208 Loggers Leap - Sponsored by Imperial Leather. Climb aboard a bath tub with synchronised audio - FEATURING REAL DUCK QUACKS! 100% more shower heads 100% more plastic ducks 100% less Canada Creek 100% less bears 100% more money for merlin help please no
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223211 Time to whip out some fireworks TPM nostalgia. Estimated creation year: 2009. The lumberduck makes it
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223214 Of course this could mean it's just closed for 2016 and coming back in 2017. But it goes backwards.
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223219 Chiapas style replacement with inter-twined GCI please... Failing that, an Aquatrax...
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223222 After tweeting them yesterday saying RIP loggers leap... Thorpe have replied saying it should only be closed for 2016 season....
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223230 Thank god they are only closing it for 2016. it must be having a massive refurb to make it cleaner and more reliable
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223231 But why are they closing it for the whole of 2016???? Cost cutting probably, much rather it be Loggers than Slammer/X!
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223234 It's probably due to its unreliability and to give it a proper refurb.... But going by Merlin, and chessington's runaway train / scorpion express project... Loggers will probably stay closed all of next Season with no work done to it, and then everything will be done last minute the following closed season.
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223235 Loggers is an old (OLD) ride now, so I'm very happy for its closure next year! Besides, it must mean we'll be seeing a tunnel in 2017!
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223236 Sad to see it closed for a year as I really do like loggers hopefully they'll give it a bit of a clean, it has got a tad grubby
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223237 Its good to see its not totally dead. Not a fan of Log Flumes but Loggers Leap is one of my favorites. Its better than The Flume anyway..
November 12, 20159 yr comment_223241 I can understand it having some time out for maintenance, but a year seems excessive. Hopefully it'll be more than just a cleanup and involve a complete overhaul - I'm expecting a lot if it's going to take a whole season!
