Dragon Slayer is a 4D coaster, which rotates riders independently of the orientation of the track and was built by S&S Sansei Technologies.
The testing of the roller coaster will continue for a number of weeks with different configurations in weight, speed, and weather conditions.
The park opens on weekends for season pass holders starting May 1 and for the general public on May 8. Dragon Slayer is slated to be ready sometime in June, and while there is not yet a firm date, work has been running slightly ahead of schedule.
