The bonus disc of the Final Destination 3 DVD set includes behind-the-scenes footage shot on and around the coaster, documenting the challenges involved in shooting the scenes.
As of March 2019, it was no longer listed on the park’s website and has been sold to an unannounced purchaser. Following its closure, it was dismantled by Clearview Demolition Ltd. and removed from the site to make room for Playland's planned renovation and expansion. [1] [2]
