- Loggers Leap was a Mack Rides Log Flume that opened at Thorpe Park in 1989. When it opened, Loggers Leap was the tallest log flume in the UK and featured a unique double drop. The ride closed at the end of the 2015 season with the park stating that it would be redeveloped. On 20th February 2019, Thorpe Park confirmed that the ride would be removed from the park.
We look back on the history of this classic Thorpe Park ride in the following video: • Goodbye Loggers Leap! ...

Why did it close ?
jxssicaa. It was an old ride that was hard to maintain.
CHCoaster oh ty
jxssicaa. Also they would make more money if they replaced it with a scarier ride
Memories of this ride. Such a shame it will be gone, a truly thrilling log flume!
It's sad that this ride closed unexpectedly, since it's been closed for the whole of the 2016 and 2017 seasons, it's very unlikely that it will re-open in 2018.
This was my favorite ride I pray it returns to its exact self
I think it will return
Loki Tops if you look at there Twitter there hinting something
🦀LOGGER'S LEAP IS GONE🦀
So sad
Loggers leap was my favourite when I was a kid the only thing thst scared me was the dark section and that red light inside thought we was gonna stop or something lol
+Jack Sparrow It's a good fun log flume!
John Clark first time i went to thorpe park was 2016 fright night but loggers leep was closed for area 51 and now its closed i wont be able to go on it
I blew up The toilet but they took it out and now even prob close the ride for ever wAs there plan there not sure what there gonna do with it
I blew up The toilet
Who's watching this in 2023 just as it has been demolished for project exodus. Good Times!
Project exodus is hyperia right
@FrenzyFields yes that's correct. Back when I posted this we only knew the project name :)
Who is watching the day before hyperia (project exodus) opens
And now it’s closed
anyone else notice the hyperia logo (well sort of) at 1 min 37 seconds
Miss this ride, however, project exodus was 100% worth the closing this for. Looks sick af
HOLD ON TIGHT FOLKS! THIS IS THE WILDEST RIDE IN THE WILDERNESS!
I laughed at that bit so much!
Rainbow Lazerz It's such a disney knock off but it's funny!
Thats what i thought
Same
Sydnie CJ had to relook at the caption to make sure it wasn’t Thunder Mountain
Thanks for all the days, Loggers! Heck, even when me and my dad visited in 2005, we *actually* rode this *4* times in one day! No joke/lie! Especially since my dad could not withstand the new rides/direction the park was going in (from an family-friendly alternative for Chessington to an adrenaline junkie paradise when the 4 major UK theme parks came under the same ownership). *Gone,* but thanks to these POV videos available on YT, *not* forgotten.
How I remembered it from a memory when I was five:
At first, it's a slow ride around a few turns until the dark section. Once in the tunnel it goes down and tilts a lot, its pitch black apart from one red light. Once out it's instantly up and straight down, very quickly. And then it's over. But it's very slow.
Honestly, after seeing this it's wild how much I forgot. This was my first rollercoaster.
Yes my boy I went in this when I was 6 I was scared
So 2 years in the future lol
i’m actually really sad that this ride is now closed
Loki Tops It didn’t it got removed from the park as of last year 2019
Sup dude? What did we do?
Look at the profile pic
I went on this with my cousin, shes only 7 and she loved it!
+Jack Does Roblox Awesome!
The best ride ever of thorpe park, I renember riding it as an young child with family. It was very amazing and fun, I'd been going to the ride many years I can. Shame it's really gone now, I hope they get another log flume ride, refurbish loggers leap and not another flipping large rollercoaster again
You will be missed loggers leap tons
Rest in peace
This didn’t age well. The area where the ride will be removed just might have a flipping large coaster in it’s place
Great times with this ride my favourite ride of all time loved it through the 90s and still to this day gutted it's going time to enjoy memories onli r.i.p loggers
If I had it my way, I would’ve removed Depth Charge instead of Loggers Leap.
Thank you for watching! On 20th February 2019, Thorpe Park confirmed that the ride would be removed from the park. We look back on the history of this classic ride in the following video: th-cam.com/video/7FHPGqagLdM/w-d-xo.html
Why though? It was a much loved ride and holds nostalgia for myself and probably many others, it should have been announced way before it closed so lovers of it had the last chance of riding the wildest ride in the west
@@liannejackson6582 Im heartbroken and gutted the mermioes of ride thrope park will never be the same again rip loggers leap
@@liannejackson6582They spent the refurbishment money on derrem browns ghost train
I miss this ride so much, bring the log back, including the first tunnel
I miss that ride logger leap that was my favourite water ride when I was little back in 2014
I miss this ride. Science the fright night that I have been on today and platform 15 the new horror attraction goes around this And the outskirts of the park and you can see that no work has been done on this nor has any work been done to the station of it either. The most recent thing happen to it is platform 15 which goes around the outside of it and uses the que space for it
Gutted loggers leap made my childhood I loved the que to the ride as well
I really miss Loggers Leap, I wish it was still there
Miss this ride so much. As much as i love coasters, you can't beat a log flume for me and this was my favourite one in the UK.
I do miss this, but TP needs to hurry up and build somthing on the land. Wasted space.
Well this aged well…
@@hbxnnick0823 seconds ago now way did we find this video at the same time lol
I'm not sure if Tidal Wave is better than Logger's Leap. If you looked at the splash factor, there'd be no contest. However, Logger's Leap is longer and has the airtime bump in its drop. What do you you think?
I think tidal wave is better, it's short but the drop is so much better!
***** Personally I think tidal wave gets you too wet! It looks awesome from the outside and the drop is great but it was as if I'd been swimming fully dressed. My clothes were wet for the rest of the day!
Alex Pinkstone Logger's Leap. Purely because it has more content than Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave is boring. Even though Tidal Wave is bigger, Logger's Leap is a longer ride. There's more to it than just the archaic long slow ascent followed by big fast drop into water and then the action is over.
That’s the point of a water ride is getting wet it looks better to me as this one is ruined with dark area which means you can’t see what’s coming and no one likes not seeing what’s coming
If this ride was better lite or even better had no tunnels than maybe it would be but this has dark spots where people can’t see what’s ahead which of course isn’t fun
I miss the logger leap ride it is a shame that Thorpe Park couldn't have done it up instead and made it look brand new
so sad to see this ride gone r.i.p
Oh wow I remember this ride so well back when Thopre Park was more for family with the river boats, the train ride to the farm and the large model town. Once got to Loggers Leap as the first riders and the ride operators let me go round three times!
I remember going on this numerous times and my dad lost his straw hat on it XD
I miss the Thorpe park train and how I'd see people waving at us just as we're about to go up.
When riding Hyperia if you sit on the right hand side, when going up the lift hill and look down you can see the blue channel still there!! My favourite photo of this is when Princess Diana rode it with William and Harry.
RIP Tunnel 😢
Possibly the best ride in the park
Man , I loved this ride. Especially the drop in the dark !
When this pops up on your recommended and you wish you can just get back on this amazing ride...
I know but it is being demolished now
when I went on this I had to hold on sooooo tight coz I was in the middle and someone was behind me and I had no chair back so I was slipping backwards 😂😂
+ECMWildChild 101 Such a good fun water ride!
One time when I rode this there was a frog in a log! I also had to evacuate this ride from the top of the lift hill one time as well! Good times
Wow last time i went to Thorpe Park was the year 2000, and went many times during the 1990's. Tidal wave had just opened as a new ride there the last time i was there i think. The river rapids were still called Thunder River and the farm, which you had to cross a lake to visit, was still there. The queue for Depth Charge would get big at the end of the day when people started moving towards the dome to wind down/go home, everyone lined up for one last ride. Loggers Leap was an iconic ride and everyone went on it, you just didn't visit Thorpe Park and not go on it. Sad to think it's gone now I've heard the park has changed a lot since i was last there and maybe not in ways i would like. Part of me wants to go back one more time after all these years but i think if i did i would be disappointed. Sometimes it's best to leave things the way you remembered them in the past.
Thanks for sharing!
Loggers leap wasn't there when I went yesterday(wednesday
I was looking forward to it
I think they are refurbishing it
Yep, it's open again in 2017.
Captain Ah Vong nope
Well, that's what was on the site when I last checked in July 2016. Is there something new on the site to prove my statement wrong?
No, but the ride is decaying and rotting away, and is still blocked off from clear view unless you look over fences or go on SAW, Samurai or Colossus. There is a new scaffold structure with a metal safety barrier next to the drop so there is development happening in the ride area
Who else is here because they miss this masterpiece of a ride
leovo is is gone?
Zahra Choudhary well it’s still standing it just hasn’t been in operation for around 3years
Me
I miss this ride 😢
I really miss you loggers you was my favourite I can't believe you left so soon 😢😢😢😢😢
Apart from leaves and KFC drinks in it, the ride looks in alright condition but when you see the second drop when your at the top of the colossus left hill it looks horrible
I have been trying to find this ride all day! I remember going on colossus at like 11/12? And i saw it in the back, with no water on or anything, and i was really confused. Cause it had pieces of the ride missing and i showed my step sister. I remember going on this ride a lot when i was younger. So next time you go on colossus, at the top right after going up the conveyor, look to your right and toward the back past saw! You can see it! (Unless they demolished it. But last time i went was 2019 and its remains were there :D )
Shame the dark section has been removed. Hopefully it will come back. They're making changes to it this year so!
+Late_Bloc_Party also, shame it's been closed for the season
Joecake Gamedev - Probably closed forever and left to rot.
Dev3LM I think it is
Crazy to think hyperia replaced this ride
RIP Loggers Leap....
...but hello Exodus :)
I miss this
I miss Rocky Express
Rip loggers leap
Sooo sad to see it go
1989 to 2015
You know, it would be nice if Thorpe Park built a new log flume that would pay homage to the former Logger’s Leap.
I'm so sad this ride is gone. How could they do this. 😢
Watching this 2 weeks before its replacement, Hyperia, opens
I am going today so excited for this
its a shame that i never actually got onto this ride, it was my first time at the resort this year May
Miss the good old days
i went on it once the thing that moves you up stopped and other carts crashed into behind us and we had a massive centipede going down the hill, i was terrified
derptoad bubblefilms that happened to me but just before the first climb me and my mate were slowly capsising lol it was on fright night as well lol
lool
Remember going on this soon after it opened. I'd have been about 6.
I went Thorpe park yesterday and I went on samurai a couple times and every time I went on I saw loggers leap with no water or nothing being changed rip
I last went to Thorpe Park 14 years ago; this was my favourite ride from then (weren't allowed to go on some of the wilder rides :( ). Sad it's since closed!
Should never of closed this ride was one of the best log flumes
I miss loggers!
Great pov rip
Ugh I miss this ride😫
I only went to the park annually from 2015, so I never got to ride this. Looked fun 🙁
Before 2015 Thorpe park had mini trains that would take you through the park and across the lake to Thorpe farm which was also part of the attraction (like Chessington Zoo). You could also take the Thorpe Park Ferry back too. The train would pass you as you were on Loggers leap and people would wave as you nervously waited for the steep climb. It was one of the nicest rides because it was long and truly worth the queue.
It was the tallest log flume in the UK
“my legs were crushed by the restraints” teen trauma!!
THERES NO RESTRAINTS
Wildest ride in the wilderness?
*Wait. That's illegal*
RIP Loggers, ride of my childhood!
It really was such a classic
We will miss you loggers leap one of my favourite rides and I only went on it once 😭
I love this ride
Cant wait till it opens in 2017 wonder what has changed on the ride?
Damo Coaster - Still closed
its no longer there its now this shitty ride thats so lamr
it is still standing but not operating
Yk since the end of last year all new comments have probably been about Exodus so I’m just gonna say it looked like a good ride
the dark section drop always got me.
Well it's now creek freak massacre 😅😅
This ride is insane!!!
Loggers leap and CCR should’ve been rethemed to Saw as you can hear the Jigsaw laugh
Still sad that i never got to ride this 😩
Admittedly I would prefer riding Valhalla
Closed in the same year as the flume
Good old days
I miss this ride
If this was still open when I went to my Thorpe trip with school I would of gone it defo , I went July this year so obviouslyyyyy it wasn’t open and hasn’t been for a long time but it looked so fun
Remembering video on loggers?
Can't wait to go on this next year! if it reopens since its in refurbishment
Now look at it!!! Hyperia Opening Day!!!
Omg this video is so old!
I personally believe its better in the summer because all the trees leaves have grown so it doesn't look dirty and old
I miss Loggers Leap :(
I'd appreciate the park much more if it was brought back pretty much the same as it was then
They're going to be building a new ride where it once stood. Very sad
Fair well Loggers Leap you will be surely missed
I went on this ride and I nearly flew out 😂
Rip 😭❤️
You can still see this ride when at the top of collossus, it looks very creepy now and they haven’t even bothered removing it.
It’s such a shame!
R.I.P loggers leap
replaced a mack with a mack.
I don’t see how the accident happened
Went on this once when i was a kid and got stuck in the dark bit right up the top when we were about to go down ill never forget the screaming and hollering noises i made because i was so scared
Rip loggers leap
It can't be that hard to restore and run again
You should see the state of it now
The height the ride went up and the amount of time it took to get to the top i wouldve thought the drop would have been bigger.I still would have been scared tho 😂 and I guess they didn't do a bigger drop as its a water park
Almost 3 minutes of just slowly floating in the water? And then such a lame drop with a hill in it? I guess, it's still a good view... Didn't ride it, just crossed up this POV... Also, what's the coaster in the background named? Looks thrilling!
The coaster in the background is called saw and when riding it look to the right you can see this ride abandoned and derelict :(
