The dragon is overrated. Everyone should do it at least once, but its too much work and the other roads in the area are so much better.

I'll agree with this. The Skyway is a lot of fun and there are a bunch of other roads out there that absolutely have to be driven as well. The Dragon does get repetitive after a while but it's still a ton of fun and it's really tight so it will keep you from reaching plaid speed and getting into big big trouble.

I have to say I probably have more fun driving Hellbender to/from the Dragon than I do on the Dragon itself. I don't know if anyone got zapped for this last year but on Friday or Saturday the cops set up a speed trap at the boat ramp right ahead of the bridge (on the return run to the Resort)... if you aren't careful you can get some big, big tickets right there.

I disagree that it's overrated. It's unique and challenging. It's my favorite road down there when it's not super busy.

The others are more scenic while still being fun, but I can drive roads like those in MD any day. There's no road like the Dragon up here, though.

Dragon is a Sunday drive (ask Dan). The Skyway at speed can be challenging.

Physics change on the Skyway. Jon kicked up a rock from his left rear tire on a right hand turn that CURVED AROUND LIKE A BULLET FIRED FROM ANGELINA JOLIE IN WANTED into my open driver's side window and it JUST barely missed taking my left eye out. Hit me right on the bone around my eye socket. Hurt like hell. We were probably doing 65-70 around that corner.

True story. I thought I was gonna die when you got rocked


Dragon is a blast, but really too low speed to be super challenging (which is part of what it nice, pretty hard to get in over your head). Things are just different at speed.
