In 2014, the ride track was repainted orange, track correction was done and the name was changed to Condor instead of “El Condor”. The old name still persists on some in-park signage.

For the 2021 season, Condor received 2 new trains from Vekoma with the improved vest restraints to improve comfort. The ride’s location, “Exotic” also gained a makeover.
