In early 2015, large portions of the ride's track were dismantled in order to be filled with sand. This was to reduce noise for both park guests and nearby residents. Other sections, including its lift hills were altered to reduce noise after complaints from guests riding the Tiny Truckers attraction.[citation needed]
In June 2015, following an accident that left a guest in critical condition on The Smiler, Dragon's Fury was temporarily closed whilst safety was being evaluated.[3]
Descriptionedit
Entrance of the ride
