History

The attraction first opened in 1999 at Chessington World of Adventures. It had a red and black colour scheme to fit in with the nearby Beano Land area of the park. It was closed in 2003 and moved to the nearby Thorpe Park for the 2004 season. During the relocation the red and black colour scheme was replaced with a mostly blue one. In 2024, the ride’s 20th/25th birthday, the ride’s colour scheme was returned to red and black.
