    Dam you California, these two rides were staples of the park now just a memory. Thanks for the video and flashback to my childhood. I love hearing his excitement for the ride.

    for some reason the water makes it less scarier and it’s like the height of some other coasters just no loops

    I remember when six flags Great Adventure had something similar to this one, it’s no longer there, but they still have the classic log flume . This looks like so much fun. Wish I was there too!🤣🤣🤣

      Rexstick Adventures Rexy it's been freezing! Lol. Our two weeks of winter has bought some wonderful rain, so I did some gardening and embraced it. I didn't think we were going to get a winter this year. I've been sick though and spending lots of time looking like death in bed. Today I feel another sore throat .. It's never ending, I'm over it. Despite all that in good spirits!

    I have been on Yankee Clipper way back in the 80s as a kid. When I revisited Six Flags Great America in 2010 the Loggers Run was open, but Yankee Clipper wasn’t. I was bummed. I wanted to ride again for memory’s sake. I also remember way back in the day both respective flumes used both drop chutes; where each of the boats would alternate which chute they went down. I wonder why each ride uses only one chute these days?

    • @rexstick
      @rexstick  Před 5 lety +1

      Yeah that was my first time riding it and I have only heard of loggers run, I like this flume a lot.
      Yeah I was wondering if they used the chutes diffrently at one point thanks for the info😎 and thanks for watching, btw I like the view of the park while on the ride very cool

    • @storm9685
      @storm9685 Před 5 lety +1

      They used to have a lot more boats when they stopped having so many they welded off the second side on both flumes it is not uncommon to have a wait on both of these during peak summer days of 90-120 minutes Roaring Rapids too and before they demolished it Splashwater Falls too!
