It was closed in 2012 and reopened in 2014 as Scorpion Express, after a refurbishment. HistoryOpening in the 'Calamity Canyon' area of the park, Runaway Train had a Old Western theme. It featured an extensively themed area and queue, primarily designed by John Wardley, taking guests above buildings, around a lake and down into a small mine. The coaster was a steel-powered model bought from Mack Rides.[1] It closed at the end of the 2012 season and remained closed through 2013. The ride was renovated and renamed Scorpion Express, which opened in 2014. The coaster was originally designed to travel in and out of a cave feature, which enclosed half the track and hid much of the structure, creating an interacting rocky landscape. However, due to its semi-temporary construction and prolonged lack of maintenance over the years, the cave feature was removed in late 2012 and the ride closed. To avoid spending on maintenance for such a feature in the future, Merlin redesigned the ride without any interacting structure and rebranded it as a new coaster. The ride's track and train were unchanged, apart from some new colour schemes and new surrounding theming.
