Steel Dragon is not as intense as it looks, but it is laugh-out-loud fun. Every ride is a different experience, but I love going up the lift hill and down the first drop backwards (the ride doesn't spin until the second hill). The hairpin turn has a decent jolt to it, but it doesn't take away from this fun ride.

This was my first real spinning coaster experience. It's quite a zippy little ride, and very fun. Yes there are several clones out there so the ride may not be special, but it is definitly worth visiting the park for this ride I think. That's why I went and I was not dissapointed.
