As an interesting fact, Samurai was previously operated at Chessington World of Adventures from 1999 until 2003.
Originally in a red and black colour scheme, when Samuari was moved over to Thopre Park, it was then re-painted into a minaly blue colour.
As part of ‘Project Sparkle’ during 2023/2024 closed season, Thorpe Park then gave Samurai some much needed love and returned the colour back to its previous red and black.
The ride can be found near Fearless Valley, bewteen Hyperia and SAW: The Ride.
