Loggers Run vs. Yankee Clipper
Loggers Run vs. Yankee Clipper
Which flume do you guys like better? Whether it be the flumes at SFGam, or the former Yankee Clipper and semi re-routed Loggers Run at GA.
I went on Yankee Clipper at GA back in 1997, the year before they took it out for Stealth so I don't remember it that well. But, I would have to say Loggers Run is better. I have heard that YC doesn't get you that wet compared to LR.
*And does anyone have any footage of Yankee Clipper at either park? (POV or off-ride). I have searched everywhere online and can't find anything.
And this kind of bothers me. Why in the world would SFGam paint their logs black? Have you ever seen a black tree before? (Besided it being burnt).

I would have to say that I like Logger's Run a bit better, because of the double-dip drop! I just wish they would go back to using both sides of the drops on both rides, as they were designed. And, I wish that Yankee Clipper was open all season.
What a day, what a place! What a smile on my face! My first visit was June 21, 1976, when I was less than a month from turning 21!

Loggers Run
I prefer the Loggers Run. The wavy shape of the drop is more enjoyable, and the splash is bigger, which is good in hot weather. I'll give points to the Clipper, though, for the jump at the bottom of its drop.

Only ridden LR. I love the double dip drop as it provides some nice floater air coming down. Closest I got to riding YC was standing in line near the station when the ride went down. I recall seeing on of YC's boats floating in a pond, randomly spinning around and thought it was funny at the time. (I was young and thought random things like that were funny)
