Take A Final Ride On Kennywood's Log Jammer

The iconic water ride closes permanently after Sunday. If you can't get to the amusement park, Patch will help you relive the ride now.

PITTSBURGH, PA - Kennywood’s surprise announcement Thursday that it is retiring the Log Jammer water ride after the amusement park’s season concludes Sunday left many people upset and angry.

There were many laments on “Kennywood: Behind The Screams” Facebook page that Kennywood should have announced the Log Jammer’s impending demise sooner so people could have the chance to ride it a final time. If you don’t ride it on Sunday, you never will again.

For those people who can’t get to the amusement park today, Patch offers perhaps some small solace with this video of a Log Jammer ride. When Kennywood opens for the 2018 season, such archival videos will be all people have left to remember it by.
