Dragon Mountain

There is a POV on Worlds Greatest Coaster Thrills... I think it's either the first or 2nd. I got the video on DVD, but it gives you a first hand POV on the ride...

I loved this coaster, it is very good! Like the above post said, you have to go about a mile to get to it.........seriously! The last elements are my favorite, it is called the bowtie element. I also love the tunnels!

"I was looking at the stats of this coaster. If the stats are true why would you have a 186ft hill and the train only goes 30mph? It just doesnt seem right. Are you sure that the height of this coaster is correct? I never heard of a coaster that tall back in 1983. You mention the trim brakes so are they installed on the descent of the hill?"

Actually, according to rcdb.com the maximum speed is 50mph.

I have only ridden this coaster twice, when I was around 12 years old. I remember it is a very impressive looking ride. But unfortunately the pacing was very slow thanks to all of the trim brakes. I remember after are first ride my Dad said something like ‘How can a ride that looks so good be so dull’.

Dragon Mountain is much faster than 30mph. I think it's a great coaster. One of the better Arrow loopers. I love the pretzel "boomerang" loop coming out of the last tunnel. Granted the tunnels are just straight track, but it's pitch black from what I remember. This park needs more coasters because it is too bare. I'm sure Six Flags will look into it one day (not sure if that's good or bad).

I love this ride! Its verrrrrry long and very smooth on some parts. I love the bowtie loops very disorieting. The Lift hill is very long and boring though.
