History
_2016_01.jpg)
Scrambler opened at Willow Grove Park, later known as Six Gun Territory, in 1962.[1] The ride closed with the park in 1975 and was then relocated to Kings Dominion.[2]
At Kings Dominion, the ride opened in 1976 and was originally known as Witch Doctor.[3]
In 1981 or 1982, the ride was relocated within the park to the International Street section and was known as Scrambler.[4] It remained in that location through at least 1992, but was relocated to The Grove section by 1994.[5]
Scrambler was relocated to the Congo section (later renamed Adventure Village) in 2003 to accommodate the addition of Drop Zone: Stunt Tower.[6]
The ride was renamed Arachnidia for the 2022 season.[7]
