Thanks to a PhantomNik review pointing out to me that Dorney has a Chance Sea Dragon, I made it a point to hop a ride this past July. I have always found that the fewer people on the ride, the better these perform (less weight for the drive tires to push) so I was more than happy to plant my ass in the last row with my son with NO ONE ELSE onboard. The ride reached the apex of the swing in about 3 or 4 cycles and provided great air-time. After that point, the drive wheels drop and you get a few sensational free-swings before they pop back up to brake you to a gentle halt. It was a great ride. If you see a Sea Dragon, make time to take a ride as these are much better than a Pirate (sorry Huss. I love your flats when run properly, but Chance clearly beats you here.) And the shorter the line and lighter the boat, the quicker you should head for this often over-looked negative G machine.
