It opened in 1960 until 2004 and was relocated to Six Flags Great Adventure where it reopened as Royal Elephants.
Royal Elephants opened in 2005 in the new children's area, Balin's Jungle Land, a subsection of The Golden Kingdom at Six Flags Great Adventure.
By the end of the 2010 season, the Royal Elephants ride was removed again to make room for the park's 2011 attraction Safari Discoveries.
On May 23, 2012, Royal Elephant reopened as Air Jumbo in the new Adventure Alley themed area.
Air Jumbo has twelve gondolas or tubs each shaped like an elephant and mounted on articulated armatures connected to a rotating hub.
