The Fire Dragon provides some awesome thrills. First it starts in the station, with a winding queue themed elaborately, to the costumed ride ops and meticulous train art. The ride on Fire is slightly better than Ice, as I also rode this sucker twice, once up front in the day with a crazy drunk guy (see my TR for more references to this guy) and then again as night rolled in a couple days later. The best part about Fire is probably the Immelmans. The first one is good and all, but it is the second one closer to the main area and the Sinbad show that is wickedly forceful and yet still thrilling. Fire goes through the dueling inversions of the loop and corkscrew with Ice producing some nice effects, but the "airtime" hill as it is refered to (minimal if any airtime for me) is the only letdown of this ride as you see the riders on Ice enjoying a zero-G roll and you are just going strait basically. The flat spins are nice, always a favorite of mine on Inverts, and the dueling with Ice again adds a point to the score. Overall, slightly better than Ice but still not up to park with Inverts like Montu or even Raptor.
