My brother, sister, grandpa and myself went on this ride back in 98. It was so live, it was also at night but 4th place was crowded. My brother and I got in trouble because we kept tipping the log in beginning through that make. Just good times :) and we still have the picture that it takes automatically when you'r going down the slide.
I remember going on this ride when I was probably 9 years old and had to wear glasses. (For the record, I now wear contacts) Even now, I hate roller coasters/steep drops so I was super hesitant to go on this. I ended up going on and had a panic attack mid climb and couldn't back out because it was waay too late. I literally held onto my glasses at the drop because I was terrified. It's a pretty steep drop actually, and I haven't been in a long time.
Did you or your parents pay for the picture they take? You're right its extremely steep so much that you run into the log infront of you at the end of it.
