The steel dragon ride video

11/15/2006

| | More

The video is available:

Here is a brief description of the ride:

  • it starts with the climb, which I find really scary. It takes so long to reach the top, you have plenty of time to realize how high the dragon is taking you!...Then, upon reaching the top, the train slowly stops at the edge. It's really impressive when you're sitting at the front, because you're already facing down...
  • the drop is awesome!!!
  • next comes a second hill which is nearly as tall as the first. The speed allows for great airtime at the top!
  • the third hill is not as impressive as the first two ones (but it's still 210ft high!). The next series of curves are not scary but go extremely fast and provide amazing sensations!...
  • the ride ends with the dragon's tail, it's actually a series of hops with lots of airtime!

I think the video is much less impressive than the actual ride (you don't get the actual feel of speed and height), but let me know what you think!

And make sure you watch the video until the end, and that you hear what Jeannie says...

C clair, carrément monstrueux, rien que lorsque le train stoppe au sommet de la première "montagne", ça fout la trouille rien qu'à voir la verticalité... ;-p

Tiens c'est bizarre, le son est décalé !...Ca vient pas de l'encodage, ma vidéo n'a pas ce problème. Si quelqu'un a déjà eu ce genre de souci en postant sur youtube, merci de me rencarder...

Thanks for the video. Rachel is my daughter too and I'm glad that I didn't know beforehand that (a)she was going on the ride and (b)a wheel came off a couple of years ago and the ride's only just re-opened.xx

J'ai mis la vidéo en plein écran pour m'y croire plus... et ce début, cette montée interminable, c'est génial justement ! Ca nous file un stress !! Mes zygomatiques se sont contractées automatiquement ! Bref, les sensations visuelles nous donneraient presque les sensations physiques... Waouhh !
