History:

Replaced by the Python Looping Coaster which is now called the Klondike Gold Mine.

According to the book "Drayton Manor: Memories of a Family Fun Park", the Jumbo Jet was replaced three years after it was opened by the Python in 1985. Which if correct means the Jumbo Jet operated form 1982 - 1984. Anyone have any early 1980s maps or brochures that might help confirm this?
