With rumors about Top Gun at PKI crashing, someone mentioned that it reminded them of a crash that happened on Iron Dragon. Does anyone know if there was ever a crash on Iron Dragon, and if so, what happened?

Top Gun did crash, its not a rumor. Go to CoasterBuzz to see that topic. Iron Dragon has never crashed.

Iron Dragon, as I recall, did strike a tree branch during a morning test run once, causing some damage to the lead car.

What Walt said.

No one actually saw anything at PKI, so unless the park says different, it's rumor.

Wow I was right about one thing. I don't remember where I found this out because back then I wasn't really into CP to much.

They didn't fix the tub. It was used as a prop for Halloweekends up until last year.

Jeff is right, but let's finish the story...

They didn't fix the tub; they built a new one or had a new one built, and filled the new tub with the mechanial bits from the wrecked one. :)
