Marvin the Martian Camp Invasion is a Junior Flying Carpet built by Italian manufacturer Zamperla currently located at Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri, USA.

History

In 1996, the ride originally opened at Six Flags AstroWorld as The Martian Maggot in Houston, Texas, USA in the newly rethemed Looney Tunes Town children's area.[1] It contained a futuristic-themed backdrop.[2][3]

It would operate until the park closed permanently on October 30, 2005.[4]

Six Flags would relocate many of the park's rides to other properties, including the children rides in Looney Tunes Town. The Martian Maggot was relocated to Six Flags St. Louis in 2006 and installed as part of the new Bugs Bunny National Park area. It was repainted and renamed to Marvin the Martian Camp Invasion.
