History

Following the closure of Wonderland Sydney on April 26, 2004, the roller coaster was dismantled and shipped to Visionland (since renamed Alabama Adventure).^[1] It was painted on arrival, prior to assembly at Visionland.^[2] Following a "Name the Roller Coaster" contest the ride was named "Zoomerang",^[3] and it opened on May 8, 2005. In February 2012, Zoomerang was put up for sale.^[4] Alabama Adventure had recently been sold to new owners who only opened the water park portion of the property from 2012.^[5]
