subculturehero Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Also, how depressing does Logger's Leap look when it's empty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perks Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Ok closed today - Stealth, Bannana Boat, Slammer, Loggers, tidal wave - and I think that was it none of the rides closed for any huge amount of time so all in all a really good day. Stealth wasnt being worked on which is a shame really love that ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Rush Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just saw that on the website .

It's not been open yet this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Does anyone know what's wrong with Loggers Leap?. It's not been open yet this seasonAs far as I am aware, nothing is wrong with it. It just hasn't yet finished its winter maintenance. As far as I know, the boats are currently being added to the track. I heard somewhere that it should be open by the end of this week. Also, it appears as though Slammer will also become available by the end of this week. Give TP a couple more weeks, and we should hopefully see the first day or two of the season with everything available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I hope Loggers is open for my trip the good old double drop I have missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimR Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 This is a complete rumour that I have heard, if three people sit in front and nobody sits in the back the log lifts off the track on the double drop, but arent the cars attached to the track?

The cars are not "attached" as such in the main body of the ride, but they are more so on the drop than anywhere else. Despite this, I know that Thorpe Park do try to spread out people in each log, as to avoid possible problems like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 The logs arent attached, the current just pushes them along, and the wheels also guide the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Rush Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The logs arent attached, the current just pushes them along, and the wheels also guide the boat.Is that why they can't stop the ride to let guests board?. I'm thinking that if they stop it, it freezes the current and there for requires it to be fixed. There must be some kind of logical reason behind it.Is there a Loggers Leap topic?. I think this is going offtopic as the thread's meant to be about closed rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The conveyor in the station can be stopped but only for a very short time before it will shut the ride down. The boats will just stack up on the entrance to the station, then on the lift hill.Or something like that anyway. Thats how it worked on Dragon Falls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks James, always curious about things like that and the workings behind it. One day all my Thorpe questions will get valid ansers.

Paul Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Tidal Wave is back up and running . I can still see Slammer on that unavailable rides list , to be honest I don't really want to visit again until Slammer & Stealth are both fixed, I love them so much and havn't ridden either of them for ages .

TimR Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 When I next visit, it will be because of SAW, but there is a rumour that Slammer will be open at the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Logger's Leap will be back up and running soon. I know it's not a thrill ride but I love it and a visit to Thorpe Park isn't complete without a ride on it .

Rich Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Tidal Wave has been at least working since yesterday. Slammer raised and then lowered straight away yesterday and today Loggers had water going round.Engineers were around Stealth area today.
