JackDee Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Anybody know why Loggers is down atm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subculturehero Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Unless you count Thunder River, then Logger's is the oldest. Or Sunken Garden. If you counted Thunder River then by the same token I guess you'd also count Flying Fish (from when it was Space Station Zero). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 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.On Loggers Leap however the ratchets are not all the way up the lift hill and so there are only a odd few. From 2.15 in video you can see that not the whole of the lift hill has the ratchets. When on the ride you can see that the ratchets are there but have got stuck inside there casing. However Dragon Falls has them all the way up both lift hills. See 2.07 in this video. How does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Is loggers actually down or is the thorpe park website lying again?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossafc Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I love this ride...mainly because it hardly ever has a big queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Loggers leap is down.And just because they are not all out, the anti rollback ratchets are not "stuck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Loggers leap is down.And just because they are not all out, the anti rollback ratchets are not "stuck".The Logger's Leap operation and technical teams were working efficiently today. Logger's Leap opened around 11am, and suffering another technical problem later in the afternoon about 3ish, the technical team were quickly at hand to rectify the problem, and have the ride running like clockwork again by 4.30pm.

Tomnorthi Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 It never has a big queue?!On my last visit when Loggers Leap was open. It said the queueing time was 60 mins!!!The queue normally depends on the weather conditions, if it is sunny more people will queue for it, where as if it is tipping it down with rain the queue will be basically non-existent.

subculturehero Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 When it's busy, it's really really busy (cattle pen full), but when it's empty it's really really empty (letting you go round more than once). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam P Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 The biggest queue I have seen for loggers was on a hot day and the queue was 20mins thought it was a nice amount of time thought it would of been longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Rush Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 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?The ride's always reminded me of Ripsaw Falls at Islands of adventure, I guess the layout of how you sit is kind of the same. I've often wondered about falling out, but I usually sit at the back so if there was a chance of it happening, what ever's in front of me will protect me. I doubt the log could go back down the hill, that wouldn't be safe to run.I've also often wondered about people getting injured on the ride, I'm sure it's happened at least once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I doubt the log could go back down the hill, that wouldn't be safe to run.No, it definitely couldn't fall back down the hill. The anti-rollback catches would always prevent this from happening. If there have been any injuries on the lift hill or the drop, it would only be due to the fault of the riders themselves, I.e.: standing up or doing other things they have been told not to such as trailing their hands in the water.

subculturehero Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've personally never heard about any injuries on Logger's , although you can bet that if anyone has been injured on it, it would have been through their own idiocy rather than a ride fault.

EdH Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I couldn't agree more. The only way that you could possibly get injured is if your boat has loads of heavy people on and you go down the big drop at the end and it gets a bit of air and hits. That hurts your bum but thats the height of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkmad Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Loggers Leap has to be the best log flume I have been on!I love the amount of air time you get on the last drop and still gives he an adrinaline rush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Loggers Leap has to be the best log flume I have been on!I love the amount of air time you get on the last drop and still gives he an adrinaline rush! Same!, if you actually push yourself up a bit so you are out of your seat but not standing up on the drop you get so much airtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 If you jump into a roller coaster ride area, you get such a rush of wind as it races by.Please remain seated, or you will end up in the Sun; 'young boy falls out of theme park terror flume ride' and worse, your death will mean Loggers downtime and probably the addition of an uncomfortable restraint system for everyone else, not to mention, you will never see the next roller coaster addition at the park.
