THE IRON DRAGON

NAMED AFTER: A mythical beast of long ago

TIME: 2 min

SPEED: 35-40 mph

CARS: 3 trains with 7 4-passenger across cars

MY COMMENTS: This was the first hanging coaster I ever rode, and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. It is still a little fun, but it is not thrilling at all. It's more relaxing than anything else.
