While similar to the Musik Express, Jumping Dragon is a little more tame and has no minimum height requirement. Jumping Dragon also spins forwards and backwards, which Musik Express no longer does.

It’s heavily decorated and also features a pagoda over 40 feet tall, special landscaping and a vine-covered dragon tunnel behind the ride.
