Balloon Race

Debuted in 1987, the Balloon Race was a Zamperla Balloon Race which operated similarly to a Wave Swinger, but large four seater baskets were used. The ride operated all the way until 1997 where it was then sent back to Zamperla in Italy, and after a few years the Balloon Race's area was then replaced by Maelstrom.

The Balloon Race was the large 12 car version.
 
The balloon ride was just like the Flying Dutchman ride but was more used with families so they could ride together. After it’s removed in 1997 it was replaced by the flying Jumbos until the end of the 2001 season with Maelstrom opening in 2002.
