Between the remains of The Dragon and the parks venerable Tornado
coaster sits the parts for the Dragon Slayer. The Slayer is a 4D
Free Fly coaster by S&S Sansei Technologies. It is the same
ride as The Joker at
Six Flags Great America or Batman The Ride at
Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
The Dragon Slayer will sit inbetween the Tornado and the lake.
The Dragon was a rough and painful ride partly due to its horribly
designed ergonomic-less trains. I would gladly pay to have them
run the Dragon one last time and let the train speed off of the track
here right into the foundation pit where there would be cement truck
after cement truck lined up and ready to entomb it to keep the coaster
riders of the world safe for all eternity.
Like The Monster was Dragon Slayer is going to be another wonderful
addition to Adventureland that brings the park up a few notiches.
If you like a nice Summer Shandy the Samuel Adams Saloon is for you.
It was pretty hot when we visited Adventureland and a spin on the Raging
River was on our list of rides to hit but sadly it was down.
