- Take a ride on Loggers Run at California's Great America! This flume ride originally opened with the park in 1976 when it was originally known as Marriott's Great America. This was one of two flume rides that the park had, with the other being an Arrow Hydroflume called Yankee Clipper (removed in 1998). The mid-course layout between both lifts was modified in the late 90's to accommodate the addition of the world's first flying coaster, STEALTH, from Vekoma (that ride was removed and relocated to Carowinds in 2003.
Enjoy, hold on, and you MAY get wet!
THIS RIDE IS CLOSING ON OCTOBER 29.

![Logger's Revenge Log Flume 4K On-Ride POV - Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk [Arrow Bonus Content]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9agrhP0QgH8/mqdefault.jpg)
My best friend and I rode this on a super chilly night and the operator just let us keep going around…over and over again. Needless to say, we were soaked and our moms were not happy. But it was one of the best nights of my life 😀
My dad said the same thing happened to him when he went there on New years or the 4th of july
I remember this ride, and I also remember holding on for my life since there were no belts or anything but bars you hold on for life. Scary times, but good memories.
Rip 1976-2017
I wonder which Manufacturer could recreate the traditional log flume ride like this one.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudley_Do-Right%27s_Ripsaw_Falls
Arrow made Loggers Run...but sadly they are out of business.
Intamin probably wouldn’t do it after the whole Shoot the Rapids fiasco at Cedar Point.
So idk what manufacturer could create a new version.
Sad that it's gone. Really happy though that Six Flags Great America still has both Yankee Clipper and Logger's Run standing and operating.
My grandma was 87 when she first rode this. It's sad it's gone.
The last time I rode this ride was in September 1986, back when the park was still called Marriott's Great America. I was there to see the Monkees concert in the Redwood Amphitheater. 🙂
Rip another arrow log flume
Lets Hope the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk keeps Loggers Revenge going strong for many more years to come. It's even more unfortunate because the sister park in Gurney still has both their Loggers Run & Yankee Clipper going strong.
The problem with the Santa Clara Park as to why so many original Mariott Attractions have been removed over the years is because the park is Landlocked, and parts getting more and more scarce, but very great things will come to the Santa Clara park thanks to the MASTERPLAN ;D but if you still want to ride a good classic arrow log flume, come to Santa Cruz.
Yeah Cali summers can get pretty hot so it was nice having this. Sad that it’s gone it was the best water ride imo
This was the best water ride and they took it down😭😭😡
Aw I was gonna go on here on Tuesday ;-;
You guys can come to Illinois and ride our Loggers Run
I miss this ride so much!!!!!
Come to Six Flags Great America to see it again!! :)
Removing this ride in my opinion was a bad move.
While I never been on this one, I have always ride on the clone at my home park Six Flags Great America and it’s a fun ride.
So I feel really bad for whoever loved this ride. It could have lasted just a few more years if taken care of well.
I get log rides are hard to maintain as time goes by, but this is one of CGAs classic rides from its beginning, now they lost both classic log flumes, they should have gotten rid of White Water Falls as its smaller and not original. But hopefully the sorely missed classic will be replaced with something better like a B&M Hyper.
Supposedly we're supposed to get a hyper for 2023
TigerRocks503 Aka: Chase I loved it and I’m sad they took it out
I loved this ride.
I’m still mad they got rid of this ride, it was one of my favorites that I’d go on over and over again
@@zacharyyamashita8554This aged horrifically…😞
The sound of the water in this makes me thirsty!
I remember I rode the last time in 2017
My favorite ride.
Well, I didn't get wet from the ride, but I almost wet myself (with my eyes)...this video is so quiet; it makes it feel like the world is so empty without Arrow (which it is). How many more of these are they going to be? Every time I see one it just gets me all sad again. :-(
whos arrow
@@poopoofarter ur moms
@@TS_Mind_Swept noactually
@@poopoofarter wanabet?
@@TS_Mind_Swept yes
my mom is not present at the moment
so i won the bet, it is not her
You are the best
this ride has always been one of my favorites at CGA, and I think I'm gonna be salty about its removal forever
You can at least come down to Illinois as Six Flags Great America still has theirs along with Yankee Clipper (Now Aquaman Splashdown)
I don't understand why newer log flumes lift you up before the drop now. This did just fine with water at the top going down the drop with the "log". Weird
I would guess it's a safety feature so that logs can be more easily stopped (and spaced out) before going down the drop.
Are you talking about the gate that stops you?
@@sfmman2000
In a way you're sort of right, if you're talking about the gate, there's photocells down at the very bottom and photocells in the chute area, if the log going down hasn't passed the photocell while a log is in the chute area the gates will close until the log passes the photocell at the bottom, then they automatically open, same with the 2nd gate, there's photocells there also, so if a log is in the chute, and the gate shuts, than the 2nd gate will shut also, if it doesn't, and you get two logs in the chute, than you have to shut it down, because if the gate opens and both logs go down at the same time, well, you can figure out what can happen, that actually happened to me one time, scared the crap out of me after the fact, no one told me I had to shut the chute down, I got two logs in the chute at the same time, but when one went down, the gates shut again and stopped the 2nd one from going down, and then I realized after the fact that I should have shut the chute down, then you call down to the station, tell them you have two logs in the chute, they shut down the entire ride and call the mechanics and a supervisor.
And there you have it, tricks of the trade.
@@armybeef68 Thanks for sharing the story! Always interesting to learn how rides worked before PLC systems.
I havent been here in years, they tore this down?
mixboy79 ye
Sadly yes rip
They tore it down, and is using that space for Southbay Shores, an update and addition to Boomerang Bay
@@bryanjung1997 ugh
They tore it down to expand the waterpark
I sorely miss this and HMB Endeavor. I hope Six Flags Great America forever keeps their version open.
Our version is showing age and is not always open, but when it is its lines are massive especially on hot days. I feel like it will stick around along with Aquaman Splashdown (Formally Yankee Clipper) for as long as possible.
We're going to be there on a Thursday this summer (not sure if we'll arrive the moment it opens or after 1pm, one friend can't get there til after lunch). Is it worth getting a fast lane pass ($45 per person I think)?
On a Thursday, no.
My sister went yesterday, and this ride was open. But aquaman splashdown (yankee clipper) was closed for the day. Maybe Loggers run is re-opening.
The one you see in this video was the one that California had.
I was looking for this ride a month ago and I swore to my friends that there was a log flume. They told me I was probably just imagining it but Its true, there was a log flume! they shouldnt have removed it, i remember riding it when i was very little.
If it makes you feel better and exact copy of this ride is at Six Flags Great America
I had rode this 20 times rip
F
That was my best water ride and they took it down 😡😡
I remember when 2 kids tried to jump off the ride.. Well one made it the other one didnt.
To this day CGA's most confusing death
this ride needs to be cleaned
3:28. It’s hard to see but on the left in between two trees, you can spot some old Stealth footers remaining.
At 3:31 here’s a better look.
At 0:29 you can see Stealth's old station. It's the building that the stairs leading to the waterslides are coming from.
They closed this ride down?! What the FUCK? First The Log Jammer at Magic Mountain in 2011 and then this in 2017. Why are the heads of amusement parks shutting down my flume rides? This makes me mad.
As much as I miss this ride, they needed room for a waterpark expansion since Boomerang Bay was terrible.
I was about to fall on this ride
Well why were you standing up?
No you weren't. Unless you were standing up. In which case you're an idiot, because a kid got injured and another died on this after falling/jumping out. So...
Marc Weiner - thank you for not being the GP 👍
Marc Weiner yes back in 1989
Marc Weiner queen
Sad another one is gone but they didn't maintain the lower level at all. That thing is furry.
