Drachen Fire, Steel roller coaster in Busch Gardens Williamsburg, United States
The Drachen Fire track extended 3,550 feet with a height of 150 feet and included five inversions through its blue-painted steel construction.
Arrow Dynamics manufactured this roller coaster, which operated from April 1992 to July 1998 before its complete removal in 2002.
Comedian Dana Carvey participated in the preview opening ceremony on April 3, 1992, as part of the promotional campaign.
The coaster trains carried 28 riders in seven cars, arranged two across in two rows, reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour.
After the 1994 season, engineers removed one corkscrew inversion and replaced it with a straight track to reduce passenger discomfort.
