Land of the Dragons model

Land of the Dragons is really coming together now - with one tree house complete, and another going up shortly. Dragon's Fury made its first successful test run on 17th Feb, using a test car from Maurer Söhne that was also used to commission Spinball Whizzer at Alton Towers. This car had the spinning mechanism disabled. The coaster has very quick lifts and each block brake hardly slows down the cars at all. Should be a great ride.

Currently most of the work on Land of the Dragons is theming the area, with the two smaller rides installed shortly. Dragon's Fury is still going through its commissioning process before it's ridable.
