Cascabel has been at Chapultepec Park in Mexico City since 1991, when that park received it from Kennywood, and Chapultepec Park would rename the Laser Loop, Kennywood's first looping roller coaster, Cascabel, Spanish meaning "bell". Built at Kennywood Park in 1980 by the German Anton Schwarzkopf - the same man who would eventually build Kennywood's Raging Rapids in the winter of 1984, built on the site of the Dipper, removed after the season to make room for the Raging Rapids.
