Joris en de Draak

Joris en de Draak (Dutch: [ˈjoːrɪs ɛn də ˈdraːk]; English: George and the Dragon) is a wooden racing coaster in the theme park Efteling, based on the legend of Saint George.

History and details

The dragon in the evening.

The dual-tracked roller coaster, built in the place of the 2009 demolished wooden coaster Pegasus, features two tracks, named 'Water' and 'Fire' respectively. A total of five Millennium Flyer trains with 12 cars each are used, although only four trains are used at once for maintenance purposes. Riders are arranged two across in a single row for a total of 24 riders per train, totaling a capacity of 1750 riders per hour.

The attraction's theming, including a 12-metre-high (39 ft) fire-breathing animatronic dragon, was designed by P&P Projects.[1]

Awards

Joris en de Draak was ranked in the Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards for best new ride of 2010 with 4% of the vote, to come in fifth place.[2]
