Yankee Clipper Overview
Flume ride. Guests are loaded continuously via a turntable loading station. The ride begins with a lift hill, followed by a few twists and turns at ground level. A second lift brings the course to its high point, where the flume zig-zags high in the air. The ride finishes with a large straight drop. The ride in fact has two drops in parallel, with a split in the channel at the top and a merge at the bottom of the splashdown. This allows boats to be sent down alternate sides, thereby increasing capacity.
The ride is intertwined with "Loggers Run" flume ride, with final drops that fly by each other, and a section of flume which runs opposite in parallel to the other ride.
