Nostalgia at the Parks


Recommended Posts

I saw it hit the O in its final legs, I also saw it struggle to hit the F, it’s reach was variable. It was really only at the beginning of the rides life that it hit close to the very top and kiss those brakes. If what I’ve been told is correct, it was a struggle to get it that high during those early days.

I completely forgot about the lift. The splash down was the part where you go down the ramp in the log correct?

From memory, the lift went up, stopped, then the rear raised and rolled you forward. The track turned left, through some fog and into the splash down. Unload was just around another left hand bend.

The good thing is the way the drop was designed, you didn’t get wet from the splashdown. There was also a waterfall effect which “threatened” to wet you as you approached the lift.
 

Man, so glad I got to experience this awesome ride, wish it was still around for future generations to enjoy.
