It is such news about the passing of Dolly Parton. If you worked in Canada Creek in the late 90s and early 00s, Dolly's music was part of the soundtrack of your day. My favourite was always 'Here you come again'.

It may not have been 236ft tall, but at 50ft it was the tallest ride at Thorpe Park from 1989 - 1999 and the view across the park was pretty special. #LoggersLeap #OneLastLeap #LogFlume #mackrides #ThorpePark

Enterprise opened in August 2000 on the site of the schools meeting Point (now Vortex). The second hand ride was brought in to boost ride capacity for the remainder of the 2000 season following the loss of Mr Rabbit's Tropical Travels and Wicked Witches Haunt.

26 years ago, we were still adjusting to the devastating loss of Wicked Witches Haunt and the Mill Building on Mr Rabbit's Tropical Travels. Ticket prices were reduced, KFC was closed due to fire wall damage and discussions were already underway to bring in a temporary ride to boost capacity.

In May 1998 as a publicity stunt Thorpe Park decided to open for 24 hours non-stop. I started my day working on Depth Charge then was moved to X:\ No Way Out then Loggers Leap.
