Adventureland has Completed Dragon Slayer's Layout

Adventureland Theme Park in Iowa has completed the main track and supports for Dragon Slayer, their new S&S 4-D Free Spin roller coaster. With the ride completed, we're able to see that this appears to be a slightly smaller model than what we've seen installed at various Six Flags parks (and a few other locations). It looks like one hill was removed from the highest layer, and a dip or so was removed from the middle layer.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, as it is possible that S&S has streamlined the ride's layout to get the most bang for the buck, and as we know with these rides the amount of overall intensity and flipping is up to the park.

You can get a good side-view of the completed ride in this post on Reddit, it allows for a nice comparison to the larger rides. The ride's trains have also already arrived, seen above in the photo from the park. Dragon Slayer replaces the park's Dragon coaster, a Hopkins ride that opened in 1990. As of now it appears as the park will be leaving the Dragon's famous double loops standing.
