Dragon's Cave was a Dark ride located across West 15th street from the Thunderbolt. "It had a dragon's head above the entrance that moved back and forth and had smoke coming from its mouth. The entrance was through a large clown's mouth with swinging doors. The clown had a lot of little red lights on its big red nose. Next to the clown's head was a Laughing Sal', and then the exit doors which looked like the outside of a cave. It was a very long ride that traveled through quite a few swinging sets of doors into 5 or 6 different rooms."
