You're standing at Joris en de Draak, which is Dutch for George and the Dragon, here in the Efteling. It's a wooden racing coaster in the Ruigrijk area, by the old canoe pond. First, look at the water between the tracks. That's where the dragon lives. Her name is Edna, and she's several metres tall. Watch her eyes: they seem to follow the trains as they thunder past.
