2019 Update: From a post card photo, it looks like it was where the Splash Over sits today. "replaced by" might mean they removed it the same year the Sky Wheel was added, or RCDB could just be wrong.
Apparently, it was the same ride as [[Rallye Racers]] which means it really opened in [[1974]] near where [[Splash Over]] sits today. Two seasons later, it was moved to the new Alpine Village area. Check the Racers page for more details.

This makes it one of several rides that has existed in multiple location in the park, and one of a few that have been given different names.
