CrazyCoaster Design & RLRides Presents
The Red Dragon
Re-Make Background
I originally released this ride on No Limits 1 5 years ago. It's the first ride I've made using Newton2 and was a result of home sickness in university after growing up in Wales. CrazyCoaster assisted with scenery and the music comes from How To Train Your Dragon (obvious choice I guess). The track was imported from NL1 but every support, and all the terrain has been done completely from scratch with additions made to scenery & train textures and area audio.
Theme
This ride is based on the tale of Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon), the national symbol for Wales.
In the Mabinogion, The Red Dragon fights with an invading White Dragon. His pained shrieks cause women to miscarry, animals to perish and plants to become barren. Lludd, king of Britain, goes to his wise brother Llefelys in France. Llefelys tells him to dig a pit in the centre of Britain, fill it with mead, and cover it with cloth. Lludd does this, and the dragons drink the mead and fall asleep. Lludd imprisons them, still wrapped in their cloth, in Dinas Emrys in Snowdonia.
The dragons remain at Dinas Emrys for centuries until King Vortigern tries to build a castle there. Every night the castle walls and foundations are demolished by unseen forces. Vortigern consults his advisers, who tell him to find a boy with no natural father, and sacrifice him. Vortigern finds such a boy, Merlin, who is supposed to be the wisest wizard to ever live. On hearing that he is to be put to death to solve the demolishing of the walls, the boy dismisses the knowledge of the advisors. The boy tells the king of the two dragons. Vortigern excavates the hill, freeing the dragons. They continue their fight and the red dragon finally defeats the white dragon.
