We’ve seen some pretty outlandish conveyances in our day — such as the octopus tank and this spider ride — but these two 50-foot-long, fire-breathing serpents by Jon Sarriugarte and Kyrsten Mate are something else.

Based on the respective Scandinavian and Australian Aboriginal legends of the Jormungand and Julunggul serpents, these rides also boast 2000-watt sound system in their heads that blast reptilian calls that Kyrsten designed at Skywalker Sound. Here’s a video of these two rigs weaving around the deserts of Burning Man and some photos of the design process.
