Drakon is a major roller coaster ride located in Paultons Park’s Valgard: Realm of the Vikings land. This custom Euro-Fighter roller coaster isn’t just a ride; it’s the high-octane centrepiece of an immersive Norse realm, offering a heart-pounding experience that truly lives up to its mythical name.
Drakon Ride Theming
The coaster itself is themed around facing the wrath of a powerful dragon-like creature. Every detail, from the heavily detailed weathered station building with its distinct Nordic roof to the rugged rockwork in the queue line, reinforces the atmospheric and action-packed Viking aesthetic. To add to the visual drama, the coaster’s steel track seamlessly intertwines with Raven, creating a chaotic and thrilling skyline.

A Great Introduction to Gerstlauer Coasters
If your children are too nervous to ride The Smiler at Alton Towers or SAW: The Ride at Thorpe Park Resort, then Drakon is the perfect introduction to the Gerstlauer rides featuring a vertical lift hill. It’s also a great ride for younger members of the family to experience their first inversion on a roller coaster (going upside down).
Where to Stay: Local Accommodation
Travelodge: For those prioritising proximity and reliability, Travelodge Southampton Central is a fantastic choice, located just 10 miles from the park. It’s perfect for getting an early start to beat the crowds at the Valgard gates.
Booking.com: If you’re looking for more variety, ranging from boutique New Forest cottages to budget-friendly city stays then Booking.com offers an extensive list of local properties to suit any group size.
