Drakon

Drakon is Paultons Parks Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter in Valgard, met verticale lift, beyond-vertical drop en twee inversies.

Drakon is de eerste achtbaan van Paultons Park die over de kop gaat en vormt het scherpste randje van Valgard. De custom Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter klimt recht omhoog, duikt voorbij verticaal naar beneden en gebruikt zijn twee inversies als Vikingproef voor bezoekers die klaar zijn voor een echte thrillcoaster.

Typical wait time: around 10 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 15 min.

See more than 15 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
