history
After the King Kobra roller coaster and Lion Country Safari roller coaster were removed, Lake Charles and what is now the Congo area of the park freed up large amounts of space, and Shockwave became the park's only roller coaster with inversions. Construction work for Anaconda began in late 1990. The lift hill section was built on the previous side of King Kobra, a flywheel accelerated shuttle coaster . Anaconda opened on March 2, 1990. In 1993, half of Lake Charles was filled to make way for the Hurricane Reef water park , now known as WaterWorks . In the spring of 2006, the Backlot Stunt Coaster opened near Anaconda .
