| Theme: | The theme of this powered coaster has changed three times during its history. The first theme was a space ride during the Space Station Zero years. In 1990, the enclosure was removed making the Flying Fish with a swamp theme. The cars were blue and green monster fish. When the ride was reintroduced in 2007, the name did not change, but the theme became beach / surfing related. The train was repainted red and orange train at this time. |
| Facts: | The Flying Fish was removed to make way for the Stealth and stored for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. For 2007 it was setup in the Amity section of the park. |
