Design[edit | edit source]
| Elements |
|---|
This ride's track looks a little like a Wild Mouse, with single-car trains and tight turns. This coaster was the world's steepest roller coaster in the world, however it lost this status in 2011.
Trains[edit | edit source]
Single car trains. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 4 riders per car.
Name[edit | edit source]
According to park owner Gordon Gibb the name "is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek description, poking fun at the way other theme parks exaggerate their new rides and attractions. We’re not talking mumbo jumbo - our new rollercoaster is definitely the real deal!".[2]
Incident[edit | edit source]
On the 3rd May 2011, a car got stuck upside-down in the dive loop element. Two female passengers were trapped for 20 minutes before being rescued.[3]
