Hat Loft is a short offshoot feature from Chimneys. A climb up the steel takeoff platform will allow one to get more than enough speed. Before dropping in, ensure that there is no traffic coming on the short, shared section with Chimneys. The jump itself goes over a section of Chimneys that goes around the takeoff jump. The landing is nice and smooth and a berm is provided to bring riders back onto Chimneys to ride it all over again.
