Iron Dragon

Does anyone think that Iron Dragons trains should be changed like Chessington World of Adventures, Vampire?

Personally I think so, these trains would be cool to try.

Read the history section then check out the photos.

That would significantly reduce the number of people that would ride it. There's no point in changing it.

Thats wierd, I was thinking about how it would be cool if Iron Dragon got new trains today also. Those trains seem really cool, I think that it would make the ride experience a bit better.

Jeff's right. ID has a certain "rider type" audience being that it only requires a rider to meet 46" in height. Like the Mine Ride or Disaster Transport, it's a great "training coaster."

I think the ride is good the way it is. It works well as a family coaster. Many people don't like the floorless design on rides, don't know why but that's their opinion. I also don't think the cars swings enough to make those type of trains cool.

Iron Pumpkin is fine like it is. Leave it alone.

People like it for how it is now. Don't fix something if it ain't broke.

S. Eagle is right, look what happened when they decided to paint it, just imagine how horrid the new trains might be

The new paint is awesome, if you look at old pictures of when it was red and grey/silver it looks so bad.

That's your opinion, I personally think the revised color scheme is nauseating. Check this out:

Iron Dragon was rusting and looked very pale and old looking. The new paint made it look like new again. The bright colors attracted more people to it and it looks great by the Winners Circle by TTD's exit. The only thing I'd like to see done is repaint the trains. The blue or teal color doesn't go with the new orange supports.

I agree with you Gomez, if theres one thing about that I don't like its just how close the colour scheme is to Dragster's.

Vince, that's exactly whats wrong with it. They should have gone with a more subdued paintjob that would help it blend in with the trees that used to be there. Red track with forest green supports would have been good and without it looking like its got TTD Envy.

Blue and/or would have looked great, but I guess it looks better now than it did before.

not really.....they should change the name to Eyesore Dragon

I kind of liked the rusted old look. It made it look like the logo and a Iron Dragon. I don't want Ronald McDonald in my park. Next thing you know, there's going to be a McDonalds stand in line.

I'm curious as to why people don't like the new colour, is it because it's the same scheme as Dragster?

^ I'm guessing yes. If it makes it look new and attracts more ridership, then painting it was a good decision. I think some people just like to whine about every little insignificant detail about a park that they can.

Yeah, that's it Coasterfury, we're just a bunch of whiners.

fury, I would hardly call repainting an entire coaster an insignificant detail. It's too similar in color to a coaster that's near-by, its just, well for lack of a better word, tacky. Can you imagine if Blue Streak was repainted Green when Raptor opened? Or if Gemini got painted red and gray when Magnum opened? it would just be tacky.
