In 1980, this was the first major rollercoaster to be installed at Alton, under the leadership of John Broome. It was the prototype Vekoma Corkscrew with bayern curve (the spiral toward the end). There are now numerous clones of this ride worldwide, one in the UK at Flamingoland. The ride here at Alton used the same logo, until Festival Park was revamped to Ugland, when new stone age artwork was adopted. At this time the ride received new Vekoma trains.
