Etymology: "Superachtbaan Looping Star" is Dutch for "Super Roller Coaster Looping Star".
Facts: The trains on the Looping Star were swapped with those that once ran on the Looping Star at Loudoun Castle (Galston, UK).  This is why the trains now have a western theme and "Thunder Loop Express" written on them.
  Until the 2006 season, the original "Looping Star" sign was still in place over the loop.
