Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) and designed by Alan Schilke, the ride opened to the public on 14 June 2014.

[1] Medusa was generally well-received, ranking several times in the top 50 among steel roller coasters in the annual Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today.

As part of this process Premier Parks would add 13 new rides, including a wooden roller coaster named Medusa.

The park's parent company, Six Flags, immediately began looking for other rides in its chain which would benefit from a similar overhaul.

[7] On 1 July 2013, Six Flags México announced that Medusa would be closing on 18 August 2013,[8] leading to speculation that the ride may be next to receive a transformation from wood to I-Box steel track by Rocky Mountain Construction.

[9] On 29 August 2013, Six Flags officially announced that Rocky Mountain Construction would be converting the wooden roller coaster to a steel track, in a similar style to that done on the New Texas Giant and Iron Rattler.

[14][15] Prior to the conversion to steel, Medusa never ranked in the Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards among wooden coasters.
