TTP Review:

Logger's Leap is a log flume, themed around the Canadian Rockies, with 2 thrilling drops, one of them in the dark. Riders board their 5-seater boats, and meander round until they reach the tunnel section. You are taken up by a conveyor belt into the darkness, and then plunge down through the first drop. That was your taster...

Riders come out of the darkness, to do some more winding round scenery. Watch out for the leaking cascade of water! Then you come to the next conveyor belt, which takes you up to about 55ft. You just have time to admire Thorpe's skyline before you hurtle downwards, flying over the "bump" halfway down, which gives great airtime, and splash down at the bottom.

Logger's Leap doesn't give as intense a ride as Tidal Wave, it isn't as high as Tidal Wave, and definitely doesn't create as big a splash. But it's a great ride in its own right, and at over 20 years old, is one of Thorpe's most loved.

Positives:

• Good indoor drop in the dark.
• Lots of airtime to be had on the main drop.
• Doesn't get you *too* wet.
• Entertaining Country and Western soundtrack!

Negatives:

• Dull cattlepen queue system.
• Can be quite cramped if 5 people are all in one log.

Your Reviews:

"WOW!! Logger's Leap is the best water flume I have ever ridden, especially the big drop outside - my stomach had 100s of butterflies! The drops should get you wetter, though."
Brandon, London, UK.

"I loved it, it was the best ride that I had been on all summer holiday!"
Miley Brestidge, Austria.

"When I was queueing I thought it was just going to be a nice and calm boat ride. However it gave me such a thrill because I didn't expect the drop. Good ride."
Carys Harkins, Hastings, UK.

"Logger's Leap always has a long queue time but is really awesome and is worth the wait."
Jamie, UK.
