2007 was the year where a number of smaller parks built their largest rides, with little of note happening the larger (now) Merlin parks. Camelot launched Knightmare, Adventure Island launched Rage and Pleasurewood Hills debuted Wipeout, a ride with an interesting history.
To promote their new investment, the park began teasing the ride not long after purchasing it from the closed American Adventure park. It debuted on 28 July 2007.
