An artist's impression of Energizer, before it was installed at the park.

Energizer in its original incarnation, located in the Festival Park area (which would become Ug Land).

With the creation of the X-Sector area in 1998, the ride was given a new paint job and relocated to the area.

Energizer in the X-Sector.

It would remain here for 3 years in total.

The ride was moved back to its original home to make way for Submission at the start of 2001.

Festival Park had been rethemed as Ug Land in 1999, and Energizer was given another new paint job to fit - as well as a new name, Bone Shaker.

The ride operated here for another 3 years, before reliability problems saw its premature demise at the end of 2003.

The ride having been dismantled, the pillars that the moving arms were attached to lies on the ground.
