    History

    The original Rapid River ride opened up in 1996 as ''Die Unendliche Geschichte'' (The NeverEnding Story). When the park was sold to StarParks in 2004, the rights to the intellectual property of Warner Brothers were lost. Unendliche Geschichte was modified to Mystery River, an IP-less fantasy themed ride. The ride was rethemed again in 2018 to Excalibur – Secrets of the Dark Forest, giving it a new storyline.

    Rethemed versions:

    • Unendliche Geschichte (1996-2004)
    • Mystery River (2005-2017)
    • Excalibur – Secrets of the Dark Forest (2018-present)
