Historie:	The loop was enclosed for the 1999 season to reduce noise. 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 in for the 1982 season.
