History

The attraction was closed in 2015 following an accident on The Smiler at Alton Towers so that Merlin could install new safety protocols.[2]
Design
Layout
The car leaves the station and makes it up the first 15.5 metre chain lift hill before entering a curved drop under a bridge and transitioning into the horseshoe element, for the rest of the ride it makes its way around the "Land Of The Dragons" area and includes multiple hills, helices and a second lift hill.
Trains
Single cars. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 4 riders per car. Each row sits back-to-back and faces away from each other.
