Dragon Challenge

The blue track was originally called the Ice Dragon, but later was renamed Hungarian Horntail.  This picture shows the track's final brake run.  Neither track had any block brakes, so there was no way to stop a train once it left the lift hill until it reached the brakes located just outside the station.  Stairs and a platform allowed maintenance workers access to the brakes as well as a way to evacuate riders from a train stuck in the brakes.
