history & info

On this ride, kids can ride a dragon, elephant, bee or ladybug. It rotates clockwise and kids can move their car up or down as they wish. Also known as Scalawagger.

      It's very possible this ride was a replacement for the Flying Elephants, which opened in 1982. The manufacturer, Zamperla, also makes a ride like this with only elephants. 

      Zamperla is based in Italy and specializes in smaller, portable rides often found at fairs and traveling carnivals. However, they have recently begun to build larger and more permanent rides. Other Zamperla rides that have operated at Lagoon include Moonraker, Red Barons and the Flying Elephants.
