Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

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.
