The Dragon's layout is very much inspired by the Shockwave that is
at Six Flags over Texas with two loops and a figure eight finale.
Here's a picture of Bond's first conscious ride on a carousel. He
had been on the Carousel at Paramount's Kings Island but he was a sleep
for that and he did not ride on a horse.
He wasn't exactly sure what to make of it but there were many neat colorful
things to see from there so I think he enjoyed it. The carousel is
new for this year and the park has placed it in the middle of their town
square for a nice old time county fair feel to that section of the park.
One of the dangers of going to a park with a large number of enthusiasts
is Sourboy. Sam Ulrich, seated on the fence has a strange taste for
anything sour and he likes to have other people try his latest find.
In the next few pictures you'll see Mark McKenzie's reaction to the sour
concoction.
