    History

    Originally opened on the British fair circuit in 1966 under ownership of Duggie Drake. Bought by Alton Towers in 1976 and operated at the park until 1979. The ride was sent to Harry Steer Engineering after closing at Alton Towers, where it remained in storage untill October 1981. It returned to the fair circuit afterwards, under the ownership of Charlie Wright. Its final year of operation is unknown, but it is known that the ride was scrapped eventually.
