I have never been a big fan of Arrow's looping coasters primarily
because they tend head bang, be a bit rough compared to modern coasters
and don't age the best but Dragon Mountain was a pretty smooth ride.
I have to say that outside of a couple of their mine trains like Thunderation
at Silver Dollar City and Adventure Express at Kings Island or the Magnum
XL-200 hypercoaster at Cedar Point Dragon Mountain ranks up there as one
of the best rides that Arrow Dynamics designed and built.
I really like Dragon Mountain's cool lead car. Dragon Mountain is
a mine train looper hybrid and in the end really a lot of fun.
I was told to take the Magic Experience for a ride because it is a one of
a kind ride. Unfortunately being early in the season it was down from
being completely rebuilt over the winter season. If you go to Marineland
when it is put back together and running take it for a ride as the experience
has been descried to me as a "suspended scrambler" and sounds really fun.
At the center of Marineland sits its tallest ride and one of the tallest
of its kind; the Sky Screamer.
