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 nearly 20 years old, is one of Thorpe's most loved.
