Renaming of Fire Dragon edit

The President and CEO of Lagoon, Dave Freed, told me personally that Magic Mountain contacted him and asked him to change the name of the ride so it wasn't confused with their wood coaster Colossus. Lagoon bought the old "Fire Dragon" Sign from Zamperla and the "Dragon" is the same sign used on Zamperla's Dragon Coasters. Linearinduction (talk) 11:51, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ride Cycle edit

Fire Dragon's Ride Cycle (Dispatch to Brakes) is 76 Seconds to 80 Seconds. If Fire Dragon reaches 32 Seconds from the Top of the Lift to the Brakes in the Rain, the ride is shut down. Linearinduction (talk) 11:51, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Unforunately, none of this information comes from a reliable source. The link you posted above is a personal website. Being told something personally is considered original research, which is not permitted for inclusion on Wikipedia. If you have reliable sources that support these claims, then let us know. Until then, we will continue to use information from RCDB.com as we have in the past in roller coaster articles. See WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:OR for more information on these policies. --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:51, 20 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
