Scorpion Express has officially opened to the public! Today is the annual pass day where pass holders can preview what's new for the 2014 season and to our surprise Scorpion Express was ready for guests!
The retheme of The Runaway Mine Train is complete. Although it's not as big and grand as the rock work for the runaway train was we love the large Scorpion in the ride area and the fire effect of the new tower.
You no longer enter the queue for the ride via a bridge the entrance has now moved to where the fastrack entrance used to be located. Inside the queue line for the ride, a new animals enclosure has been created where real Scorpions can be seen. Although weren't present for the opening day these were later added.
The old boiler that you used to walk around in the old queue line for runaway mine train can still be seen today in the ride area. Thankfully the boiler was removed and repurposed for new ride theming, a nice little addition for theme park enthusiasts.
