I was excited to ride Iron Dragon because Id only been on one other suspended coaster (Big Bad Wolf). The lagoon setting and Asian theming at the station were cool. The opening half is pretty mundane, just a slow trip through the small wooded area in between Mantis and TTD. Its weird how Big Bad Wolf opens with a short 50 ft. lift and after you drop you pick up crazy speed. Maybe on Iron Dragon you dont even drop 40 ft. because you whiz through the trees you dont fly through them. Anyway, the second half saves the ride from being a total waste. The finale over the foggy pond is what suspended coasters are all about. Some nice tight swinging turns in an interesting setting. Its very fun and that section is fun for onlookers too. Iron Dragons a good coaster for kids, beginners, and grandma. Final Rating - 4.5 (Below Average-Approaching Average)
