That’s an awesome memory! A lot of people hold sentimental feeling towards this one so It was so disappointing when they announced it was closing.

The hope is that someday it will return, but the memories will always be there!

One of the classics, the rumor I heard other then their vision for Steeler country was that Log Jammer cost to repair was more than the ride itself. So it was getting to be too much to fix.
