TAYLOR'S COASTER BREAKDOWN As the resident coaster nerd here at Harr Travel I feel the need to explain the ride experience on the Dragon Tail Coaster. If you haven't ridden an alpine coaster before, these are incredibly unique experiences. You can ride as a single rider, or double rider so it is great for families with smaller kids as well. However, only the "driver" has control over the speed. This is another reason these style of rides from Wiegand are such fantastic family options. Because of the speed control thrill seeking teenagers (or people like myself) that want to go NO BRAKES, or a family who just wants a scenic ride at a slower pace can have a great time on the Dragon's Tail. The German manufacturer Wiegand is the premier creator of alpine coasters. In fact their Gen 1 coaster model has over 274 custom layouts spread all over the globe. However, I would argue this has one of the most scenic layouts. Dragon's Tail Coaster has also received some major upgrades in recent years, from braking, track work, and updated cars. The braking system mentioned earlier has been modernized and still uses the basic friction braking in the center of the track. The updates include electronic braking that keep cars a safe distance apart, and specific speed zones on sections of track that might be too intense or harsh at full speed. Track maintenance on this ride is constant, and you can really tell with how smooth it runs. The layout features multiple downward helix elements turning both to the left and right, all with great laterals if you choose the no brake option. As you traverse underneath the lift hill and across the mountain there are also some great slalom sections that can provide some great laterals, and even some little pops of airtime. Heading into the third downward helix there is a great little drop that can give a little ejector airtime as well. The second half of the ride is where it really picks up a lot of speed. And right before the final downward helix you can reach top speed with a quick right that can absolutely toss you out of your seat (you have seatbelts don't worry) and send you right into that last lateral filled left hand turn. Of course you can control your speed at any time, and the subtle banking on the turns make a slower ride really comfortable. For an alpine coaster from Wiegand this ranks really high up on my list. The combination of views, forces, and creative elements create a very re-ridable experience. One final tip, if you want to go full NO BRAKE I would highly suggest stopping at top right after the lift hill where the brakes get activated. You won't have as much speed going into that first helix, but you can guarantee that you will not catch anyone. I hope you enjoyed this full break down of the Dragon's Tail Coaster from the coaster nerd here at Harr Travel. If you got through the full description and are still reading, let me know if you enjoyed this type of breakdown and I will try my best to do more coasters reviews in the future. Cheers, Taylor
