History[edit | edit source]
The ride was originally located at Wurstelprater where it operated under the name Speedy Gonzales. It was then relocated to Alton Towers where it was renamed Alton Mouse. It was removed from the park due to an accident in 1991 when two trains collided and because it could be seen outside the park.
