Added to the park in 1999 as part of the "war on lines", the Spinnaker  was a Zamperla "Polyp" ride.  The ride rarely operated, and was the third "octopus" style ride in the park, after the Pretty Monster, and Monster Spin.  The Spinnaker  was located across from the Buccaneer, where the Fantasy Fling is currently located.
