Le Fils du Dragon - French for "The Son of the Dragon" - is a kiddie coaster opened at the historic Jardin d'Acclimatation in the centre of Paris in June 2023.
The ride is at the amusement park to fill the gap left by the closure of the classic Dragon Chinois rollercoaster, which was removed to make way for a more modern Gerstlauer Family Coaster.
Fils du Dragon is a simple wacky worm kiddie coaster from Turkish manufacturer Kılıç Lunapark, although it wins many brownie points for its exceptional theming: the train is a highly decorated red chinese dragon, and the track has a beautifully rich red and gold colour scheme.
The ride itself is smooth - a pleasant surprise and very welcome for a wacky worm! - but being a kiddie coaster is not particularly exciting.
While it is firmly oriented at young children, the level of theming and quality presentation of Le Fils du Dragon elevates it above typical kiddie coasters ... and all this for a temporary ride!
