The Dragon Roller Coaster At Adventureland, Altoona, Iowa

After speeding down The Dragon's eighty-five foot drop and twin loops it finishes off with a wicked set of helices.

The ending twists and turns are not taken slowly.  No, this is where The Dragon's real coils are.  It's a fun layout that could be drastically improved with some new trains that are ergonomically designed and maybe some lap bars instead of shoulder harnesses.

Here's the best part of The Dragon...it's finish.  Now that I got that over and found out that my opinion of this ride had not changed since 2000 it was off to better things.

But first on my way out of The Dragon's station I stopped off at the mirrors for a little self portrait.
