	This type of ride is commonly known as a Himalaya ~~Type Ride~~, although the ride's manufacturer, [[ZIERER]], calls it a Dragon Ride. The ride is very similar to the [[Musik Express]] at Lagoon. One notable difference is that Jumping Dragon begins moving in reverse about half-way through the ride. Musik Express did this in the past as well, but now it only travels forwards. Jumping Dragon also features divided seats with individual lap bars while Musik Express features open seats, seatbelts and a more simple, shared lap bar. The experience of being "crushed" up against your ride partner(s) that is common on Musik Express, will not occur on Jumping Dragon.

			'''Jumping Dragon''' is a Chinese Dragon themed [[Family Rides\|family ride]] located at Lagoon.

	~~For 2009, Lagoon installed~~ a ~~new~~ dragon~~-themed [[Zierer]] Roundabout~~. ~~The~~ ride ~~is very similar~~ to ~~[[Musik Express]]~~, ~~but towards~~ the ~~middle~~ of the ride ~~it starts moving backwards~~. ~~It also features seat dividers and~~ is ~~slightly less vigorous than [[Musik Express]], making it~~ a ~~bit more family friendly~~.		==Ride Details==
			Riders sit in a large circular dragon train that appears to chase its own tail. After your lapbars are lowered, the ride accelerates and speeds around in a circle at speeds of up to 13 rpm (15 mph), flowing over hills and dales up to about six feet in height. The ride then slows down and moves backwards for the remainder of the ride. The upper part of the ride is enclosed in a highly ornate 40 foot tall pagoda.

	Jumping Dragon is located ~~south~~ of [[the ~~Bat]], where~~ [[Putter Around the Park]] used to be. The ride itself looks like a giant 15 foot dragon that chases its tail around in circles. After your lapbars are lowered, the ride accelerates and speeds around in a circle at speeds of up to 13 rpm (15 mph), flowing over hills and dales up to about six feet in height. The ride then slows down and moves backwards for the remainder of the ride. Part of the ride is enclosed in a fantastic 40 foot tall pagoda.		Jumping Dragon is located in the center of the former [[Putter Around the Park]] mini-golf course.

	~~Jumping Dragon also has some beautiful scenery nearby~~. ~~Behind~~ the ride ~~lies~~ a ~~tunnel that looks like a giant dragon that you can walk into~~. To the ~~west~~ is ~~a pretty garden where parents can rest and watch their kids~~ ride. ~~The ride queue line~~ features ~~detailed sculptures that fit well~~ with ~~the theme~~. The ~~entire~~ ride ~~area~~ is ~~very well themed and appealing~~.		==Compared to Musik Express.==
			This type of ride is commonly known as a Music Express, although the ride's manufacturer, [[Zierer]], calls it a roundabout. The ride is very similar to the [[Musik Express]] at Lagoon. One notable difference is that Jumping Dragon begins moving in reverse about half-way through the ride. Musik Express did this in the past as well, but now it only travels forwards. Jumping Dragon also features divided seats with individual lap bars while Musik Express features open seats, seatbelts and a more simple, shared lap bar. The experience of being "crushed" up against your ride partner(s) that is common on Musik Express, will not occur on Jumping Dragon.

	~~Despite it being~~ a ~~"kiddie"~~ ride~~, it~~ is ~~still~~ a ~~very fun~~ ride ~~for all ages~~. ~~If you haven't ridden it yet, you should try it out~~ the ~~next time you are at the park~~.		==Theme==
			Jumping Dragon has a Chinese Dragon theme and travels through a giant pagoda. Behind the ride lies a tunnel that looks like a giant dragon that park guests can walk through. To the west is a garden where parents can rest and watch their kids ride. The ride queue line features detailed sculptures that fit well with the theme.

	For 2009, Lagoon installed a new dragon-themed Zierer Roundabout. The ride is very similar to [[Musik Express]], but towards the middle of the ride it starts moving backwards. It also features seat dividers and is slightly less vigorous than [[Musik Express]], making it a bit more family friendly.		For 2009, Lagoon installed a new dragon-themed [[Zierer]] Roundabout.

	Jumping Dragon is located south of [[the Bat]], where [[Putter Around the Park]] used to be. The ride itself looks like a giant 15 foot dragon that chases its tail around in circles. After your lapbars are lowered, the ride accelerates and speeds around in a circle at speeds of up to 13 rpm (15 mph), flowing over hills and dales up to about six feet in height. The ride then slows down and moves backwards for the remainder of the ride. Part of the ride is enclosed in a fantastic 40 foot tall pagoda.
