Dragon is a rather underwhelming indoor rollercoaster at La Ronde in Montréal, Canada.
The ride, a Family Rollercoaster from Intamin, sits mainly inside a odd smelling building although the ride station is undercover outdoors.
Following a booster-wheel driven curved lift hill, the ride layout is full of curves and corners as the train runs through the mainly dark envrionment. There are a few lights and special effects along the way, with the highlight (if you can call it that) being a large lit up model dragon that the cars travel past.
Dragon sadly doesn't really deliver: its layout is tame and a little boring, and the quality of the effects is very low. The experience isn't helped by the odd and not very pleasant smell which fills the building, making the rollercoaster's final moments as it breaks out into the daylight by far the best part of the ride.
