Ride

Log Jammer left the station and travelled through an s-curve. It then began its first lift hill. After a small dip, the flume made several right turns. After a straight piece of track, the flume then made another s-curve. After several bends it then climbed its second lift hill. After the lift, Log Jammer went through several turns, then it went down a medium sized drop. Then after more bends the flume went down its largest drop into a small lake. Finally the flume went back to the station where the riders departed.

Damage
