History: The loop was enclosed for the 1999 season to reduce noise.  The remainder of the ride was enclosed for the 2013 season.
Facts: There are some discrepancies with the Sirocco's opening year.  Some say 1981 while others say 1982.  It seems the ride was built in 1981 and intended to be sold to a park in Japan or China that year.  That order was canceled and the ride was then sold to Walibi who installed it for the 1982 season.
