Dragon

This ride uses dozens of motorized tires to propel the train up the first hill.  These squeeze tires are used in lieu of a conventional lift chain.

This picture shows the coaster in its original location.  When Cypress Gardens was converted to Legoland Florida, the ride was positioned about 500 feet further south to a new location in the park.
