A fierce,fire-breathing beast lurks along an Illinois highway. A metal figure stands before the creature, gazing up at its lethal snout. At your command, and bursts of flame erupt from the 35-foot-long dragon's mouth. You don't need to know any tall Valyrian to manufacture this dragon breathe flames on command. Just purchase a “dragon token” from the nearby liquor store or the hardware store for only a dollar. Each coin buys approximately 10 seconds of fire breathing fun.
This roadside
attraction was built over a long winter in 1995 by the nearby Kaskaskia Supply and its owner, Walt Barenfanger. In 2001, the dragon moved near the highway in Vandalia, or Illinois,to its current resting position, where hundreds of visitors have paid to manufacture the beast breathe fire. It stands guard at an RV park, and so you can sleep soundly knowing you're protected by the fiery creature.
In recent years,the dragon
has sported a black top hat, giving a most dapper appearance.
