The top circuit preceding the switchbacks, containing a big drop and a shallower dip, was added making the ride about 1⁄3 longer at 1,266 ft.

Apparently, this change was inspired by a similar alteration of the Velare's Wild Mouse at Nu-Pike in Long Beach, California.

Following this drop, the ride went through a traditional zig-zag section, common to all Wild Mice, where the car darts forward and backward, gathering speed as it goes.

These were followed by the aforementioned turnaround out of the structure over the heads of the queue pen (possibly designed to give the impression that the car has "burst" out of the ride).

The ride re-opened in April 2017 following installation and testing of the new brakes, however appeared to experience more frequent technical issues during the rest of its operational life than it had done previously.

After this became public through unofficial channels on Facebook, the management of Pleasure Beach Resort released a statement in January 2018 confirming the permanent removal of the ride from the park: "After very careful consideration and planning, our current winter work programme has seen the permanent closure and dismantling of the Wild Mouse and the removal of the facade of the former Trauma Towers attractions.
