The name Dare Devil Drop was entered in a "name the ride" contest by Wesley Orr, a fifteen-year-old resident of Leonard, Texas. Orr said he thought of the name while reading about the new Evel Knievel roller coaster opening at Six Flags St. Louis that same year. Dare Devil Drop opened on May 24, 2008.</li> <li>Dipsy Doodle is the junior coaster that was replaced with the Wisdom Dragon Coaster in 2016.</li> <li>In 2018, Joyland added the X-Factor Extreme. This is a pendulum-type ride and the gondolas rotate. The ride swings in a 200 degree arc giving the riders feelings of both positive and negative G-forces. With the rotation of the gondola, no two rides are alike.</li> <li>In 2019, Sand Storm, a Cavazza Diego Blizzard model, was installed.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right"
