Unverified Reports

3/17/2009 - Submitted by VladimierTpesh on 3/17/2009
According to the amusement park safety association, there has been no report to comfirm that the safety harness has come loose. The only problem that the ride has encountered in these circumstances is when a rider has purposefully made the harness' loose. As per the lady hitting her leg on the other roller coaster, this is an urban legend and can be found on urban legend websites. When designed, the roller coasters were set far enough apart for a 9 foot man to be able to ride and not touch the other roller coaster, thus in order for the lady to have hit her leg, she would have to be 10 feet tall and could not possibly fit in the regular or larger person chairs. This can be found on the blue prints and designs of the dueling dragons.

    I've heard from my girlfriend and one or two other friends that the safety restraints have come loose mid-ride (not sure which dragon either). I don't know if this is just an old problem that was fixed quickly (since both occurances happened quite a while ago) or if it's still a problem.

    • Follow-up:
    I have ridden both dragons around 20 times each since IOA opened i have NEVER noticed any problems with the restraints and neither have any of my friends, the fact that they hav seat belt type restraints that fix into the shoulder bars means that even in the unlikelyhood of any faliure the shoulder bars would never fully open up -- Submitted by MALAKAI on 8/28/2006

    I have never heard of this ever happening. I have been to the park at least 48 times a year since 1999, I live in the local park area and never heard or seen anything about this happening. This is false. -- Submitted by hase2$$ on 1/2/2007

    My dads girlfriend and I were riding I think it was ice last march and she was complaining that her restraints were extremely loose and she was scared. personally nothing like this has ever happened to me on these rides, in fact they are my favorite in the park. however when she got off the ride she was ghost white & she was so scared that she wont go back on them again. -- Submitted by AngelSpikez on 6/7/2008

    I rode the ride 20 times that day both sides 10 times each and nothing can happen to the lap bars because they are secured by a seatbelt so nothing can happen -- Submitted by wolfie on 1/5/2008
