Opening
The coaster opened on May 30th, 1988 to a crowd of over 25,000 guests.

Modifications After Opening
In 1994, the tops of the loops were replaced to reduce stress. In 2003, the tunnel at the first drop was removed due to stress forming in the tunnel.

In 2018, the restraints were replaced with more comfortable restraints developed by Toronto Amusements that have the comfortability of a pillow.
