Dragon Wagon is the seventh roller coaster at Indiana Beach. It is slated to open in 2014 and is currently under construction. It will be a kiddie coaster, the first at the park since Little Dipper[1] which closed in 1970. It is part of four ride additions at the park which includes Rock 'n' Tug, Growler, and Baby Baron. It is located in the Kiddyland section of the park.[2]
History
In early 2014, Indiana Beach announced on their Facebook page of a seven ride addition for the 2014 season. One of the new attractions was announced as a kiddie coaster titled "Dragon Wagon". This came after the announcement that the park's oldest operating coaster, Galaxi, would be closing after 42 seasons. All of the attractions opened for the season as planned, except for the Dragon Wagon roller coaster, which was postponed due to a number of delays while constructing. By late August of 2014, construction ended and the ride opened with only a few seasonal operating days left.
