History
It originally opened in 1988 as Titan at World Expo Park in Brisbane, Australia. It closed after only one season before opening as Demon in 1992 at Wonderland in Sydney. It operated until the park closed in April 2004, where it then was relocated to Alabama Adventure.
Following the 2004 season, Southland Entertainment Group announced that VisionLand would introduce a new steel coaster for the 2005 season. Originally slated for inclusion for the 2006 season, its opening was moved up due to demand and improved attendance numbers. The name Zoomerang was announced in February 2005 and was chosen from a field of over 6,500 suggestions in a name the ride contest. The ride officially opened on May 8, 2005.
Alabama Adventure was sold to new management in 2012 that decided to close the rides at Alabama Adventure and to solely operate the water park, Splash Adventure. Zoomerang as a result has closed along with the other rides. The management has decided to sell the ride, rather than demolish it, due to its value and ease to take apart and transport.

Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
