Dragon's Fury (Chessington World Of Adventures)
Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 2:45 pm
Dragon's Fury is a steel spinning roller coaster ride opened in 2004 at Chessington World of Adventures. This ride has four-person cars that can be weighted evenly or with bias to one side, depending on the amount of spin desired. The general theme is "surviving the dragon's wrath", which is suggested by announcements made in the queue and on-ride.
Dragon's Fury features quite an expansive layout for an ordinarily compact roller coaster type, essentially traversing the perimeter of the Land of the Dragons, and features an Immelmann (vertical) turn. Theming is fairly limited, and includes 'charred' trees, a sculpted dragon head and a mechanical dragon that hides inside a small cave at the entrance of the queue line, relocated from the park's Mystic East area. The track is green with ruby-red supports. On-ride photos are available and taken at the foot of the first drop. As the car reaches the vertical turn it starts to spin.
