You know, I've been wondering about the Dragon for quite a while. It's pretty old, and we all know how rough it is. Both times I went to Adventureland this past summer (June 7 and July 17), it was closed. It was probably a coincidence because I haven't heard anything about a temporary closure, but both times I noticed from the high platforms at the Bay that the top of the loops were brown (rust?). I'm not sure if they were trying to fix it or what. Either way, we know it's not in the condition it once was. It also isn't as impressive in the park itself next to the much smoother, longer, and more impressive Monster. My point is, I'm wondering if we'll see a closure of the Dragon in the near future. It has a unique location over the lake, making it a perfect spot for a new water-based ride. After the absence of the log ride for 5 seasons, I sure am feeling the withdrawl of the ride. The main drawback of the log ride was the upkeep of the wooden structure, and now Adventureland has more resources to build a better structure for a new water ride. Additionally, I have reason to believe there are future plans of some kind for the Dragon. I know the daughters of one of the higher ups at Adventureland. When I asked them if there were any plans for the Dragon, they got all whisper-y and secretive with each other. Obviously not proof of anything (confidentiality and whatnot), and it could be a simple update to the ride, but I'm just really curious about the Dragon.
