The Green Dragon coaster is a fun little kiddy coaster. More importantly though, it's unique. It's actually powered by the people riding it. Don't worry, it's not quite as much hard work as you would think.
The riders climb up to be level with the (empty) station, then get into a tram (funicular to use the correct term)
The funicular starts to decend under the weight of all these people (full of the locally served burgers).
A system of pullies brings the empty coaster car, on it's track, up the hill.
The track "slots" into the station, and the coaster car is pushed using traditional tyres into the staion.
Unfortunatley, the riders are now all at the bottom of the hill. It's a short walk to the top again where you can ride the coaster back down to the bottom. As you walk up, the empty track comes down and raises the Tram back to the top.

Great idea this coaster, strange having to walk up the hill twice before you get to ride it. Short run but nice helix towards the end.

I really like this coaster. It gets quite fast when you get into the helix. It's also good for the enviroment, and good for you with all the walking. But definatley a good coaster!

Fun little kiddy coaster, with lots of interesting stuff going on with the whole funicular part.
