History

The ride initially opened on 18 April 2003 as Vilda Musen ("Wild Mouse"). It operated under that name until 2025, when it had to be temporarily dismantled to allow for the removal of the nearby Jetline coaster, as the two rides were intertwined. It is slated to reopen in 2027 as Vildare Musen in a new location with several redesigned portions. It will share a support structure with another new coaster called Fenix.

Incidents

  • In 2019, the coaster had to be evacuated after one of the cars stopped moving.[1] It was later found that a hat had fallen on the tracks, forcing the ride to stop.[2]
  • In 2022, the ride became unexpectedly stopped once again, and four passengers were escorted to safety.[3]
