Log Jammer was a log flume ride located at Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in Valencia, California. It debuted with the park at its grand opening on May 29, 1971. Log Jammer closed on October 31, 2011, and was removed prior to the park's 2013 season.[1][2][3][4]
History[edit]
Log Jammer opened on May 29, 1971, with Six Flags Magic Mountain.[3] On April 5, 2006, Log Jammer was lightly damaged because a forklift truck hit one of the turning points, damaging several electricity cables.[4] After a few days the attraction was ready for use again. Log Jammer was closed on October 31, 2011 Halloween, at the end of the seasonal event Fright Fest.[2] The ride was removed to make way for the 2013 attraction, Full Throttle.[5]
Ride[edit]
Log Jammer had two lift hills and three drops. This was possible because of Log Jammer's terrain layout.[1] Log Jammer left the station and travelled through an s-bend. It then began its first lift hill. After a small dip, the flume made several right turns. After a straight piece of track, the flume then made another s-curve. After several bends it then climbed its second lift hill. After the lift, Log Jammer went through several turns, then it went down a medium-sized drop. Then after more bends the flume went down its largest drop into a small lake, before returning to the station.
