Oh yeah.sorry.I found on the computer Drachen fire is in the recicleing bin.
What is really cool ... ( 11 months ago by Coasterwiz)
What is really cool, is the fact that B&M designed Drachen Fire. They were busy with the Batman rides, so the design was given to Arrow Dynamics. That's the reason it was so cool, but so rough. B&M puts the heartline at your heart (realitively) while Arrow put it on the front of the train.
Drachen Fire opened ... ( 9 months ago by Teqsinterrier)
Drachen Fire opened in 1992 and closed after the 1996 season. It was left up for a few years while BG tried to sell it--almost sold it to Paramount--but in the end they had it melted down.
LOL. Sry to be ... ( 9 months ago by Teqsinterrier)
LOL. Sry to be nitpicky, but technically Drachen Fire was DISMANTLED, not demolished. If you "demolish" a steel roller coaster, people are gonna die.
I understand some ... ( 9 months ago by Platformz)
I understand some of your point but don't quite understand the people dieing part of that last sentence. I believe you're right in that it was carefully taken apart when removed, but ultimately it was sold for scrap metal. - TheRapidsNerd
Ah, some times I ... ( 9 months ago by Platformz)
Ah, some times I mistakenly use "demolished" too interchangably with "removed" "taken down" etc. Teg had a good reminder here I should be more careful in wording, especially for historical accuracey. :) - TheRapidsNerd

It closed in July 1998 not 1996.
Guess again. (I had ... ( 9 months ago by Teqsinterrier)
Guess again. (I had season passes to BG in 1992, and then from 1997-2007. The first and last opportunity I had to ride on Drachen Fire was the one day I visited BG in summer 1996, and I rode it 6 times without getting off.)
I was just saying ... ( 9 months ago by Teqsinterrier)
I was just saying that to "demolish" a structure like Drachen Fire would have implied physically knocking it down; the pieces of the coaster would have fallen willy-nilly all over the place and it likely would have become unstable at some point and fallen over on the demolishing crew--something like that. (I was just messing witchu.)
The dismantling process had to be almost as meticulous and planned out as its initial construction.
Okay...according to ... ( 9 months ago by Teqsinterrier)
Okay...according to Wikipedia and a bunch of other sources you are correct...however the statement from Wikipedia, "Drachen Fire continued to operate without incident until it mysteriously closed July 11, 1998" is FALSE. I visited BG easily 30 times between 1997 and 1998 and Drachen Fire was NEVER open.
Can someone confirm that they were able to ride Drachen Fire during the 97-98 seasons?...

Ah, now I get where you were headed with the rest of it. No worries. - TheRapidsNerd

Many thanks! Yeah, the second corkscrew is little janky, along with the helix. - TheRapidsNerd

Good thought. I have a copy of the professional PoV ride and seen the stuff here as well as several reference photos. Close as I could get to the real thing. No worries, somebody will come along and do it better. That always happens. Lol!- TheRapidsNerd
