History
Logger's Leap, opened in 1989, was manufactured by Mack and is located in the Canada Creek area of the park. The ride is themed around logging in the Canadian countryside and, as with others in the Canada Creek area, had a soundtrack of country and western music including 5,6,7,8 by Steps, Cotton-Eyed Joe by Rednex and 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton which plays outside the ride, in the outside queueing area and in the ride station itself. However, as of late 2011, the soundtrack has been changed to more current songs, featuring Lady Gaga amongst others.
Logger's Leap visitors also hear a range of messages recorded by an enthusiastic announcer including one declaring Logger's Leap to be "the wildest ride in the wilderness", a feature which was added in 2004.
