Ice Mountain Splash is open around 2-3 days a week. They close it early a lot, so this really isn't much of a suprise. As for the water being drained out, I have no idea.

They probally closed it for the rest of the year cause summer peak is over all they need is logger's run along with roaring rapids as the water rides in that section of the park.

I think they used to use both drops, but it ended up being a safety issue because there was a possibility of logs or boats crashing when merging back into one. Thats why they only use one now.

well there are those things that come out to stop the boat, before it drops sometimes...they should just alter those so and put sensers at the bottom, so one boat doesnt go until the next boat passes that point...i think the lines would speed up

They used to alternate using both drops. Now they don't do that anymore and just use ONE drop for safety reasons.

no comment for most of the stuff, but as for it being drained, it does that whenever the ride shuts down. When the pumps are turned off all the water drains back into the pond.

Generally also Yankee Clipper is only used Memorial Day-Labor Day.

It is also not as popular as it once was. It has become more of a hidden ride due to V2.
