History:	"Superachtbaan Looping Star" is Dutch for "Super Roller Coaster Looping Star". The trains on the Looping Star were swapped with those that once ran on the Looping Star at Loudoun Castle (Galston, UK). This is why the trains now have a western theme and "Thunder Loop Express" written on them. Until the 2006 season, the original "Looping Star" sign was still in place over the loop. Perhaps the park as decided to use the Thunder Loop Express name. The roller coaster is still listed as "Looping Star" on the park's website.
