It has been through a number of changes, such as: the on-train sounds were replaced by on-ride sounds and a large section of the queue line was cut off for the temporary Fright Nights attraction, Freakshow 3-D. In 2007, the ride was refurbished and now has a storyline added and the robot dummies from the original queueline have been put on the third animation block brake run of the ride.

  • It's a backward rollercoaster in the dark. There are many sudden drops, stops and starts. My advice is to only ride it once: the second time you do it, it's just not as unpredictable.
  • It's No Longer Backwards. It's Now Called Simply X.
