Dragon Flier • Dollywood

Comfort Intensity Smoothness Too short Capacity

I think I'm more susceptible to greying-out than the average person, but let me say I absolutely did here. That first overbank is actually quite wild for a family coaster. Comparing this coaster to Kiddy Hawk at Carowinds (which is one of the worst rides I've been on) it is immeasurably smoother, has much more intense and fun elements, and possesses indescribably better restraints; they give such a good sense of freedom. The only negatives are its tiny layout and awful capacity; this was not the best choice for a park as busy as Dollywood. 6.5/10 - this is the quietest roller coaster I've ever seen in my life

Comfort Fun Smoothness Disappointing!

Fun family coaster with some decent Gs, but it kind of disappointed me. I get that it's for families, but the line is way too long for a very mild ride.

Nice surprise! Comfort Fun Capacity

This rise was a pleasant surprise. It is a family coaster that gives little ones a nice introduction to inverted coasters and this ride doesn't disappoint. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Only reason it loses half a star is capacity. Only runs one train and the way Dollywood handles their fast pass riders, the wait can get very frustrating for a short family coaster.

First Drop Nice surprise! Fun

This is the world's best family-coaster in my view...or at least, the best I've experienced. If you took the tingling sensations of your typical amusement park swings added a dash of extra intensity and turned it into a roller-coaster...you'd have Dragonflier. Quite a pleasant surprise, and so long as the lines can be avoided, it's a ride you can go on again and again.

Fun

It’s fun but sort of a transition ride between kid and adult coaster. It reminds me of those old Arrow coasters with the hanging cars that would swing sideways.

Lap Bar Pace Smoothness Capacity

This is a great family coaster. It's not too intense, but it's not boring either. I love the open train design, and the first overbank was really fun. My one main issue is the fact that this coaster can only run one train, which leads to some very long lines.

Solid family coaster, just doesn't do much

really intense for a family ride

Fun Smoothness Too short

This ride was a nice surprise to me. It’s a little more family-oriented, but is still a good time for anyone. The turns are thrilling, first drop was nice and fun, and the speed is legit for a ride of this caliber. I only wish it were longer, as I felt it took twice as long to leave the station as the duration of the ride.

Fun little forceful family suspended coaster with some nice turns

Nice surprise! Fun Smoothness Too short Capacity

Another great family coaster at Dollywood. Although it is a short ride, it’s butter smooth and just pure fun. That first turn also caught me off guard with how intense it was. Overall it’s just a family coaster and nothing too special but it’s good for what it is.

Fun family coaster, a step improvement over the earlier vekoma family inverts. Fast and smooth, while not being a total snoozefest.

Fun family coaster with a fairly intense first turn

Nice surprise! Intensity

ファミリーが喜ぶかは分かりませんが、コースターマニアは大喜びです。

Comfort Fun Smoothness Capacity

What an amazing stepping stone for children to ride as a “intermediate” coaster. This is a smooth and fun ride even for an adult enthusiasts. These new Vekoma rides are amazing. 5 stars for what it is!!!

Nice surprise! Comfort Smoothness

Please make this in adult size please. Very smooth and fun little ride. Don't sleep on it when you visit the park.

First Drop Nice surprise! Comfort Theming Capacity

Great Family Invert. I rode front and back on opening day. The back right seat provided the best ride. The restraints are also very well done. The front seat provided a nice pop of ejector airtime, which is rare for an invert.

Lap Bar Intensity Smoothness Capacity

Unlike the other Vekoma Family Suspended coasters I’ve ridden, this one is enjoyable. It’s really smooth with a nice graceful feel throughout the layout. The first turn has some surprisingly good Gs and the rest of the layout is just fun. Restraints are really comfortable too. Just wish Dollywood would’ve gotten it Custom to add a second train so the lines wouldn’t get as long.
