Log Jammer was a log flume at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.[1] It opened with the park on May 29, 1971 and closed on October 31, 2011.[2][3][4]
History
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, 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
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.
