History

The attraction first opened in 1999 at Chessington World of Adventures.^[1] It replaced Magic Carpet. It was closed in 2003 and moved to the nearby Thorpe Park for the 2004 season. During the relocation the red and black colour scheme was replaced with a mostly blue one. In 2024, the ride's colour scheme was returned to red and black.
