History
The ride originally opened at Pleasure Island Family Theme Park in 2001 as Hyper Blaster.
When first installed at Pleasure Island, the ride originally had no tower cap, but this was later installed with a yellow banner featuring the ride name. In 2010, the banner was removed only leaving the tower cap, which was also eventually removed in 2011.[2]
