Merlin's Mayhem

For the 2014 season, Dutch Wonderland opened the new prehistoric-themed Exploration Island park area, which cost in excess of $1 million to construct and saw the addition of 15 animatronic dinosaurs and various activities associated with them.

This was attributed to various construction setbacks and a longer-than-anticipated approval process,[8] reportedly due to the coaster's interactions with the park's Sky Ride and other attractions.

The train dives into a tunnel under the Wonderland Special Narrow-gauge railway, hits a final right-hand turnaround, and enters the brake run into the station.

It was designed by former GCI engineer Joe Draves, who had also worked on projects such as Steel Curtain at Kennywood and Lightning Run at Kentucky Kingdom.
