Dragon

The coaster used to have one blue, green, and yellow train, but now it has two green and yellow trains.  A dragon's head and tail were added to each train.

This viewing angle shows some of the mechanisms under each car.  Notice how the wheels are placed only at the back of each car.  Each wheel assembly consists of two large "Drive Wheels" above the track, two "Guide Wheels" positioned beside the track, and one "Up-Stop" wheel placed under the track rail.  The long metal plates under the cars are grabbed by the "pinch brakes" at the end of the ride.  There are no block brakes or trim brakes on the course.
