Reader reviews of Spinning Dragons

Typical spinning coaster, similar to the Big Spin/Pandemonium coasters found at several Six Flags parks. If you can get the spinning action working, this coaster is pretty fun. It is also a ride that benefits mightily from darkness, so be sure to ride it at night. Please note: despite having up to five cars running at one time, Spinning Dragons is a notoriously slow loading attraction (probably because it is the only non-kiddie coaster in the park accessible to children under 48" tall). - James Rao

The longest wait of the day for us (only 3 cars running), but it was a nice spinning coaster. Nice theming. 7/10 - Blake Nieman

A fun ride, like Tony Hawk’s Big Spin (SFSTL). It had no shade though, or as nice a setting as THBS. The ride did have a surprise drop towards the end which was nice. Tony Hawk gets a higher ranking in my book because of the setting, but I give both the same rating out of 10. 7/10 - Jake Jones

Love this ride, ride with a larger companion if possible. lol - Dakotta Hagar

I'm not a huge fan of spinning, but this was decent after dark. - Carl Stovall
