History and details

 
The dragon in the evening.

The dual-tracked roller coaster, built in the place of the 2009 demolished wooden coaster Pegasus, features two tracks, named 'Water' and 'Fire' respectively. A total of five Millennium Flyer trains with 12 cars each are used, although only four trains are used at once for maintenance purposes. Riders are arranged two across in a single row for a total of 24 riders per train, totaling a capacity of 1750 riders per hour.

The attraction's theming, including a 12-metre-high (39 ft) fire-breathing animatronic dragon, was designed by P&P Projects.[1]
