Mulan is a Caterpillar built by German manufacturer Mack Rides currently owned & travelled by Italian showman Parisi.

History

The ride was originally operated by German travelling showman Aigner from 1981 until 1990, after which the ride was sold to Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach.[1] He replaced the ride with a HUSS Breakdance - Break Dancer.[2]

During its first few seasons at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach the ride operated under its original name of Die Raupe, which is German for Caterpillar[3]. Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach removed the ride following the 2019 season.[4] It was replaced with the Lightning 360.
