I hope you Enjoy!

Now that I remember it, Drachen Fire area was one very cleverly laid out area. The supports had stone work on the bottoms, and the gardens sprawled out under the track. The station was/is also very ornate. Too bad it hurt people...

Even though Drachen Fire was one rough coaster, it was still incredible to ride...especially at night. I think, if you were a kid, the restraints gave you much more wiggle room, but as an adult, you got off with a headache! The trains just weren't rider friendly.

Looking back, I often wonder why BGE just didn't have the trains redesigned a third time. An updated train with a newer restraint system and making the rider the center of gravity might have made the coastermore rider friendly.Drachen Fire, at the time, was expensive to build and it's sad more alternatives to tearing it down weren't investigated.

Arrow's OTSRs suck serious bawlz. If they could have just thrown some lap bars on there and it would be fine. Or they could have given Arrow the Tampa contract...

Pretty Cool footage. I would like to see a B&M version of Drachen Fire exact layout.
And the trains just looked awesome

we all want to see a replica of DF made my B&M but its never going to happen unfortunitly

Awesome footage...I've never seen the DF station before (inside) while the ride was still there. Great footage...and your hilarious, "I wawnt to go againnnn!!!!"

I suppose if you're a yank it's rare to be able to get that close... Looks a lot like Colossus' groundwork actually.

I seriously think this ride looked lame and you all only miss it cuz it's gone, type thing.

And the colour of it makes me wanna hurl.

HURRAH!

Seriously cool footage though. It's so neat to see old home footage. I should upload my videos of the Auzzie parks.

Thank you everyone for you comments, I am glad that you enjoyed the video.

Drachen Fire: Resurrection!

Thanks for sharing the footage Ryan. It brings back memories.

yeah... i remember standing at that same place(begining) when i was a kid watching my Mom and Brother ride it... they closed it the year i would have finally gotten to ride it...

You didn't miss much. Really.
