Construction began in January / February 2010. Due to bad weather, work began later than planned, which is why the inauguration, which was originally scheduled for April 10, 2010, was postponed. A second inauguration date in mid- June was also postponed because of the TÜV opening roller coaster at first not approved. On 9 July 2010, the railway was opened without further notice.
