Opened August 16, 2009

The park was opened on August 16, 2009.[2] In the beginning of the park's operation, many people didn't like it because of long waiting times and being dangerous. Most of the rides were broken, the lines were too long, and many people were hurt not only from riding the rides, but from walking around the park. Three people were hurt when a big sign board fell on top of them.[3]

The park currently has six roller coasters. Five of them were opened when the park began its operation while the mine train coaster opened in October 2009.[2]
