History

The roller coaster opened on May 24, 1997 as Mind Eraser.[1]

In 2017, Samsung Gear VR virtual reality headsets were used to offer the Galactic Attack Virtual Reality Coaster.[2] The next year, the track was repainted green, the supports were repainted yellow, new trains with vest restraints were added, and the ride received its current name.[3]
