Log Jammer Memories

The now defunct Log Jammer, log flume ride at Magic Mountain. Formerly named "Save the Log Jammer" Fearing public outcry, at the loss of the beloved Log Jammer.

Here's a great shot from our friend Sandy Sinner! The picture of Jet Stream on the left was taken the year Jet Stream opened in 1972. Here it is again when the Dragon opened in 1974. .

The Dragon marked the Park's 3rd transportation ride at Magic Mountain following the Metro monorail and the Funicular. Later in 1975 we'd see the Grand Centennial Excursion Railroad make its debut.

The only transportation ride remaining at Six Flags Magic Mountain today is the funicular (Orient Express) renamed The Honda Express. Moreover... Jet Stream is the last flume ride at the park since the Log Jammers removal in 2011. Lots of changes since the early days. 🚩

Thinking of the parks on the other end of California and the riders who were onboard Six Flags Magic Mountain's Nina coaster. Unfortunately, this classic Arrow suspended coaster derailed, injuring 4 riders.
