It opened in 1990 in the new Transylvania area (now renamed "Wild Woods")[1] and is the only Arrow Dynamics suspended roller coaster still operating outside of North America.

The station was dressed as a castle ballroom with flaming chandeliers, Gothic murals and a large pipe organ stage piece, with dramatic lighting and audio.

The famous theme music in the station was composed by Graham Smart in the style of an organ overture with a Gothic rock sound, alluding to Phantom of the Opera.

Towards the end of the ride, the coaster takes a sudden drop into a tunnel, before entering into the anti-rollback devices then the brake run.

In 2008 The vampire rolled back inside its tunnel during its test run due to not having passenger or water dummy weight.
