History
The ride was originally built in 1968 and travelled with German showman Röper until 1981. The ride was then sold to German showman Franke which travelled with it from 1982 to 1984.
The ride was later sold to Heide Park Resort in Soltau, Lower Saxony, Germany and opened in 1985 after a major refurbishment using parts from another identical ride that was owned by fellow German showman Hans-Jürgen Tiemann. It operated there until 2009.
It was then left standing but not operating from 2010 to 2017 and was later put up by the park for sale, being subsequently sold to US operator IB Parks & Entertainment. It was sent to Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World where it currently remains in storage waiting to be set up since 2022.[1]
