With Logger's Run being a log flume you have to expect to get a little
wet. They used to have two side by side drops on both Logger's Run
and Yankee Clipper I guess for more capacity but some time in the mid eighties
they closed off one of the sides. I guess it really didn't add much
to the rides throughput.
Don't miss the Yankee Clipper. It's a little harder to find now that
it's entrance is dwarfed by Vertical Velocity but it's quite a bit of fun
as instead of splashing down a the bottom of the flume you skip across the
water getting wet as you go.
Across from the Yankee Clipper is a coaster that this year I have grown
to like more and more, Batman.
For me Batman has always been too intense with too little time between elements
to catch your breath.
