Iron Dragon
Iron Dragon is a whole
lot of fun. There really isn't any other way to describe suspended
flying through trees, over water, and through mist. The coaster starts
up a 76 foot hill, tame in comparison to many other Cedar Point
coasters, and begins a series of wide turns, hills, and dives,
culminating in a large helix over the Cedar Point lagoon. Iron Dragon
is unique in that it is a suspended coaster. Instead of its trains
sitting on top of the track, they hang from it. This means that every
turn allows the cars to move up to the side, making for a very
enjoyable ride. Iron Dragon is another coaster that is great for new
coaster riders. Iron Dragon possesses the elements of a great coaster,
without a terrifying hill.
