Log Jammer (HD POV) Six Flags Magic Mountain California

Man I remember the line for the Log Jammer being totally insane in the late 70s/early 80s. Another classic bites the dust, and time marches on.
the sound of the log wheels underneath and rubber bumpers turning you into place -- screams in the background - sunny day - I could almost smell the water and the heat. They were kind of lame fun rides as kids(you did the coasters first) but now, I see them as part of the whole nostalgia package - Thanks for posting
This was one flume that didn't need major theming the terrain , woodsy, two big drops and lake environment was enough. It was great precursor to the thrill rides.
This was one if my favorite rides at Magic Mountain. One the best flume rides ever built.

RIP log jammer. That was one of my favorite rides when I would go there. I remember the last time I went on it was with my grandpa. And the next time I went there with him it was closed. He was so sad. Six flags magic mountain is really good at taking their most iconic rides and A altering them for no reason or B getting rid of them all together and putting in some stupid ride. Who knows what is next gold rusher or jet stream. Ride them before they are gone or you will regret it.😿

It’s kinda sad to walk by and still see the entrance to the queue still there. It’s all sealed off now and I think they might use it for storage but the structure still remains. I mean I like Full Throttle but it’s not sentimentalize Log Jammer
No fancy names...just simply The Log Ride. Yet dearly missed. Great memories of Magic Mountain when the whole park was still surrounded by nature.

@@sharpproductions yes I agree 100%. I like Jet Stream but it was nothing like Log Jammer. I guess they needed the terrain that Log Jammer occupied for Full Throttle. That would be my guess why they decided to remove it rather than Jet Stream. I kinda miss Tide Wave too
That second drop was always a kick in the pants.
Thank you for uploading this highly memorable ride. This and the log ride at Knott's were tops for a little kid in the 70s and early 80s.
This ride was always a really nice break from all the thrill rides. Miss it a lot.

As much as I love coasters you need more variety in a park and log rides are so much fun and haunted rides! Please add a new one Six Flags!
I didn't know this ride closed. I haven't been in a while but used to go all the time. I remember that part at 2:40 to 2:50 used to scare the crap out of me because it looks like you're gonna go over the edge.
Awesome video, I remember riding it in 1972 when I was a little kid, the jet stream had not even been built yet and the gold rusher was the main roller coaster.

I went on Log Jammer ever since in 2009 in my 8Th grade field trip before graduating and even last year in the summer of 2011. Together I went on this ride 2 times. I will always remember Log Jammer. If I have a time machine I can go back in time to ride Log Jammer again! That would be a great idea!
I went back after like 4yrs with family. They now changed A LOT with taking off the flash (it was my favorite childhood ride) and taking a lot off/adding a lot of things. My mom and I we’re talking about the old rides they’ve takin off and this was one of my favorites cause I remember going on it with who I thought was my dad, but it was actually my grandpa who passed. Now it makes me miss it even more. Wish I had something I could get on to remember great memories I had with a great person
If Six Flags was smart they should have rerouted the flume to go around Full Throttle because there are too many rollercoasters already, these log flume rides are a great way to cool down and or they could just transfer the log to Jet Stream

Log Jammer was their best water ride. I too wish they would have just altered the Log Jammer to fit within Full Throttle. Would have been super cool to be on the log ride and have the coaster flying by you. It's a shame considering that Full Throttle doesnt even use that area to it's full potential. Ugh.

The Log Jammer... the monorail track you pass under.... the giant redwood.... a lot of things have disappeared from the park these last 5 years. I can't say I'm pleased about it either, I love coasters as much as the next guy, but they keep removing crap to make room for MORE coasters. We already have the most in the world, why can't they be happy with that record and start focusing on building the other sort of infrastructure and entertainment the park needs sorely? Where's the live entertainment? Where are the slow "dark" rides? Where's the transit system?

BDNeon I miss this log ride. Personally, I feel it shouldn’t have been taken out for Full Throttle. I love log rides, because it’s a fun slower option to rollercoasters. After 5 or 6 coasters I need a break anyway! I hope in their new developing section in the back of the park they seriously consider a new log ride, maybe one that goes through a mountain!
Sorry to those folks whom suggest this ride should be extra Thrilling and intense. The whole purpose behind the Log Jammers peacefull atmosphere is supposed to make you feel as though your in a river, and flowing smoothly through a forrest. I Loved the fact this ride was quiet just to get away from all the metal Coaster crackling noise every once and while. There was just something peacefull and beautiful to this ride which is and was why it's soo hard to fathom of it's removal. RIP Log Jammer.
I cant believe it's almost been 5 years since this thing has been gone. I kind of miss it.

lanceflx63, They should have replaced Scream! for Full Throttle instead, Scream! is just a clone of Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure.
Log jammer always felt like it made that area of the park. The trees, water, it was so nice. Full throttle feels like it’s temporary, like it’s not meant to be a lasting attraction. It looks like it was put together for the absolute least money possibly.
This has always been my favorite ride at six flags, being able to stick your hand in the water and splash the people in your boat, freggin hilarious fun, I am surely going to miss it.
Btw it was relaxing and very much soothing

I miss that. The log jammer was SO dope:/
I grew up in the 70's and 80's going to MM, and this was one my favorite rides in the park. One of best
Really miss Logjammer, I road as the last ride, at the end of the night the first time me and the kids visited there. Right at 10 pm and they hadn't stopped the line, I thought it was closed cuz there was no line, we were so glad to get a chance to ride it. It was awesome, long and winding. 2 small drops, then one long drop and I thought it was over, then came the REALLY long drop into the pool below, we were in flume ride heaven. It was as good, to me, as riding X2 as the last ride of the day. So pissed they removed it for full throttle, which to me is a really dumb roller coaster. Logjammer was the greatest flume ride I ever rode and I have such sentimental memories of it that are almost dreamlike now. It was great to ride it at night, I wish there was a video that existed as it added an extra element of surprise and suspense. That final drop was the best with that splash in the pool. So glad we got to ride it one last time in August of 2011. We hadn't been to the park since 2008 because the great recession was really hard on us as i lost my job of 15 years in late 2009 after months of pay cuts. Bankruptcy, barely keeping our house, severely cutting back on expenses. As soon as we had the means, we got back there after the bank sent be a $6000 in a check for over charging on mortgage interest. We were so gleeful and this was the first ride we road at the park because we loved it so much. They should rip out full throttle and rebuild a 21st century Logjammer, Mark 2 with 5 or 6 drops, lol!

Ah, fond memories. Went on this 1st in 1979 with my brother, Chris. Never been on anything like it before (England back then really had very limited ride choices). I remember that last hill and thinking 'Oh, sh*t!' I got very, very wet......
RIP Log Jammer! Rode it back in summer 2004. I had just turned 10 at the time. Good times!!!! ~ c:
I missed this ride. A third water ride at the front of the park while the other two were in the rear portion of the park. Now, it's a bit of a walk to get on the wet rides when Valencia gets into the 100's is like "ugh!!!!".
This one of the coolest flume rides i have seen ... Cool.. it's a shame i live in Philadelphia so far away from it .... Well i'm happy i live in Philly and not in California
