Leap-Day Throwback Thursday: Last Day for Log Jammer and Full Throttle Hard Hat Tour

Since we don't really have much going on at Six Flags Magic Mountain right now, we figured we'd have a special Leap Day Throwback Thursday and take a look back at the front area of the park, which used to be home to the classic flume Log Jammer and is now home to Full Throttle.

In this update we've got some pics of the last day for Log Jammer, and a hard hat tour we got of Full Throttle on February 27, 2013. The coaster would open on June 22, 2013.

We'll start off with a look at Log Jammer, which closed on October 31, 2011. Sadly it was not announced by the park but we happened to catch wind of it. Thankfully we were able to reach out to the parks PR department and request permission to take some on-ride pics for our last rides. We are thankful that parks have gotten better with announcing ride closures so fans can get their last rides in.

Unfortunately at the time, we did not have video equipment to get an on-ride POV.

This building still exists, but with work going on nearby, wonder for how much longer.

The tree is long gone, we hope that sign still exists somewhere.

Still wish they could have found a way to make Log Jammer and Full Throttle co-exist

Did you know: Log Jammer was the most expensive ride to run at the park?

For you control panel nerds. You know who you are.

But it's so fun!!

Check out some on-ride pics in the slideshow below

Who thinks these Water Blasters could have still been used for Full Throttle?

Really miss this ride.

Fast forward a bit over a year later to February of 2013, and we were on-site for a hard hat tour for Full Throttle!

This building is also still here, although it is no longer an arcade, but a quick service restaurant.

You can kind of see where Full Throttle ended up.

Footers, Footers ...

The tour that day was for the first pieces of track being installed for Full Throttle.

Flying Track!

We also got a peek at the new buses

So clean! We hope you enjoyed this look back on Log Jammer and Full Throttle!
