Ride Experience
Riders queue up in one of five queues at the front of the station, four for ordinary guests and one for Fastrack guests who have paid extra. Each Logger's Leap boat holds up to five people - two in the front and three in the back - meaning during busy periods small groups may be asked by a ride attendant to share boats to speed up the queue. Boats do not stop in the station unless there is an emergency and guests must take their belongings with them, apart from cuddly toys won in the park or photographs from other rides.
Once the boat has left the station it drops down a small hill and turns around a sharp right corner before making its way, past the queuing area and alongside SAW – The Ride, to a tunnel. The boat then rises up a hill in complete darkness before dropping down the smaller of the ride's two hills and eventually exits at the back of the park where it makes its way to the bottom of the second hill and begins to climb. This hill, the biggest of the ride, is split into two drops with a short flat section in the middle and houses the camera used to take pictures of the riders. The boat then makes its way back to the station past two coin-operated water guns. Once in the station guests are helped out of their boat by an attendant, collect any items left behind and leave through the photo shop.

Famous quotes containing the words ride and/or experience:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Not the less does nature continue to fill the heart of youth with suggestions of his enthusiasm, and there are now men,—if indeed I can speak in the plural number,—more exactly, I will say, I have just been conversing with one man, to whom no weight of adverse experience will make it for a moment appear impossible, that thousands of human beings might exercise towards each other the grandest and simplest of sentiments, as well as a knot of friends, or a pair of lovers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
