Shoot the Chute rides continue to be built today. Log flumes are a variant of the chute rides and old mill rides that were popular in the United States in the early 20th century. 14 March 2022.Walter Knott and Bud Hurlbut ride the Timber Mountain Log Ride at Knott's Berry Farm in 1969 ^ "Planning Application: Redevelopment of 'Old Town' area within Thorpe Park".Archived from the original on 22 February 2019.

Assuming permission is granted by the council, the plans would see Logger's Leap demolished to make way for the new attraction. The main focus of the application is their proposed new roller coaster code-named 'Project Exodus'. On 14 March 2022, Thorpe Park submitted an extensive planning application to Runnymede Borough Council detailing their proposed redevelopments of the Old Town area of the park. They followed by stating that "the area that Logger's Leap once dominated will be forming part of our long term development plans." Since the official closure, however, Thorpe Park stated on their website in 2019 that "situations can change and as plans develop they often move in different directions". Thorpe Park initially claimed via social media that they were "hoping for it to make a splashback soon". The boat descended the drop into a splashdown, then meandered back to the station across the edge of the lake. This hill, the biggest of the ride, featured a steep drop with a double dip.
The boat exited the tunnel amongst woodland at the back of the park, where it crossed the main lake and made its way to the second lift hill. The boat was then lifted up into the tunnel before descending the first drop in complete darkness. Once the boat left the station it meandered towards a tunnel. Each Logger's Leap boat held up to five people - two in the front and three in the back. Riders queued up in one of five queues at the front of the station. ĭuring Fright Nights 2019, the old station was used as the venue for a new scare maze, "Creek Freak Massacre". In February 2019, it was confirmed that Logger's Leap had permanently closed and ride parts were to be auctioned in May, however no auction ever took place. The park announced via social media that the ride was "under redevelopment". Logger's Leap did not open after the 2015 season and stood not operating. In 2013, the tunnel enclosing the first lift and drop was removed due to poor structural maintenance over time. A dedication plaque was erected next to the attraction following her death. The ride famously featured in press photographs of the Royal family with Princess Diana in 1993. Following the closure of American Adventure, Logger's Leap regained its record. The ride was the tallest log flume ride in the UK upon opening, although this was surpassed by "Nightmare Niagara" at American Adventure theme park near Derby. The attraction featured a 'country and Western' pop soundtrack including 5,6,7,8 by Steps, Cotton-Eyed Joe by Rednex, Southern Nights by Glen Campbell and 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton. Logger's Leap opened in 1989 on the lake at the back of the park, along with a new themed area 'Canada Creek'. Logger's Leap was a log flume ride at Thorpe Park, UK.
