History
Arrow Dynamics built this steel coaster in 1989 as a new addition to the Valleyfair lineup. It represented an important development in the park's attraction collection at that time.
Culture
The ride takes its name from the legendary sword of Arthurian legend and brings medieval themes into the Valleyfair experience. Visitors sense this mythological connection as they move through the attraction.

Height requirements are checked at the entrance before riders board. Visitors should secure loose items or leave them at the station before the ride starts.
Did you know?
The coaster uses a wooden support structure beneath the steel track, which is an unusual choice that blends traditional construction with modern ride engineering. This hybrid approach is uncommon in roller coasters from this era.
