With the animals from his zoo and his handful of rides Santa's Village
Azoosment park was reborn and since then the park has added more and brought
back the old Three Worlds of Santa's Village magic back for new generations.
Back in the day The Three Worlds of Santa's Village had a few coasters.
One of them was an Allan Herschel Little Dipper. In 1985 The Little
Dipper was replaced with a powered coaster called Dracor that lasted for
a decade before it was replaced by The Dragon Coaster which was sold when
Santa's Village closed.
That Dragon Coaster was replaced by this Dragon Coaster in 2011 which happens
to be the forth coaster on the site and third dragon coaster with the two
previous ones being two Zamperla "Dragon Coasters". This one is a
Wisdom Rides "orient Express" model.
Amber and the twins had never been to an amusement park before and had never
been on a coaster. Out of the three of them only Amber was tall enough
to ride so The Dragon became her first coaster.
She was a little nervous about it but after the first lap she was all grins
and loving it.
