One of the first suspended coasters in the world, it was built by Arrow Dynamics in 1987. This ride is fun, but at 40 mph, a bit on the slow side when compared with its peers. The final tangle of track at the end is pretty good.

A fun ride, just dont expect big thrills on this one, had a ridiculous height req of 46 inces - Steven D

The ride was better than I expected but still not very good. My 6 year old brother loved it though. Intensity: 3.5/10 - Will Gibson

A couple fun parts but kind of a boring ride. Gotta love the mist on a hot day and the short wait though. 7/10 - Bob Miller

One of the few "family" rides the park has to offer. It's a little slow, but it's pretty smooth and has a nice helix over the lagoon at the end, made even better when the mist is working properly. - Jamie Bennish

An okay ride. More of one to get your friend who is scared to death about rollercoasters :P - David Steinhardt

7-Good. This coaster is simply pleasant. It isn't thrilling, per se, but it does provide a nice riding experience with some decent landscaping. If the line is short, you've got nothing to lose. - Joshua Counsil

My 10-year-old daughter gave it a double thumbs-down. I'm sure it was pretty cool when it first opened. Now, it's just boring compared to everything else CP has to offer. If you're looking to relax, this is a good ride. Not a thrill to be found. - Roger S

I only rode Iron Dragon to ride all CP coasters. The really short ride makes the ride worth it, I guess. - Bradley Keith

It's not anything to write home about, but as with most of CP's smaller coasters, a fun little ride. I think it packs a bit more punch than the late Big Bad Wolf. - Beth Bickar

The ride is boring at the beginning, much better after the second lift hill with more swinging. It is constantly broken down though. - Mark P

I think CPOint has the coaster just to have a swinging coaster. Its ok.. It takes up space. But, Over all it is enjoyable. Just don't expect it to be on any ones fav anytime soon. - Jason Skaggs
