The Great America Log Ride

I have come to the conclusion that the log ride sucks at Great America. A couple weeks ago we were there with some friends and wanted to go on the ride. As we were waiting in line we saw a bunch of people coming back down and realized that the ride had broken. This caused amber to have a little hissy fit since she really wanted to ride and was finally tall enough. Finally she calmed down and we did some other rides. Well we went again today and it was pretty warm so we decided to go on it before going to the water park area. After waiting for awhile we finally get on with 2 other people and get going. BUT as we got through the floating part and were about to go up the incline the guy at that part of the ride starts yelling for us to hold on tight. All of a sudden we slammed into the barricade and just stopped. Apparently somehow the ride ran out of water and we were stuck. So we sat like that for about 10 minutes before being told anything. Then the guy tells us to just sit there that we are not allowed to get out. This lasts for another 30 minutes or so. Finally as we are telling him that we are getting out when the managers finally get over there to help us. After us having to sign a paper saying we got off alright we were finally free to leave only to discover our backpack was still at the front of the line so we had to walk around to get it before doing anything else. Other than that we had a great time although we ended up sunburn, I guess my sunblock expired or something since we made sure to put a lot on
