APPEARANCE: To date this is the best looking swinging ship I have seen. Around the ride is a small pond with geysers, which add to the rides atmosphere. Also on the ride is a pirate flag, which certainly was a cool touch and not found on the other Sea Dragons Ive come across at carnivals. Also, the dragon boat as always looks very good and detailed.
WAIT TIME: Walk On- Even on busier days, this never has a line, which is cool because its one of Funtowns best rides. The non-existant line can be attributed to the rides high capacity and pretty fast loading.
RIDE: This was my first Sea Dragon and it was certainly a good ride. Compared to the other two pirate ships I have been on (Canobies and Palace Playlands), this one had the most restricting lap-bar, but even still it wasnt uncomfortable. The cycle was fairly good and lasted about 2 1/2 minutes. Like all swinging ships, the best seats are on the end as the swings provide some very good floater air-time during the whole ride.
FINAL VERDICT: This is the best of the swinging ships I have been on to date thanks to its good theming and very good ride. Sea Dragon turned out to be my second favorite flat ride at Funtown (behind Dragons Descent). Anyone who enjoys swinging ships should give this a try if theyre at Funtown.
