Dragon Slayer, Steel roller coaster at Adventureland, Altoona, US
Dragon Slayer is a steel roller coaster at Adventureland Park with cars mounted horizontally on both sides of a red track. The ride reaches heights around 112 feet (34 meters) at speeds of about 34 miles per hour (55 kilometers per hour) and takes roughly 45 seconds to complete.
The ride opened in 2021 as a replacement for the original Dragon coaster, which operated from 1990 to 2019 at the same location. This new coaster marked the end of a long era for that classic attraction.
The medieval theme shows in the castle entrance and two train sections called Knight and Squire, which offer different intensity levels for various riders.
Each train holds eight passengers seated in four across two rows. Visitors should expect freely rotating seats that create an intense riding experience.
The 4D Free Spin model from S&S Sansei Technologies allows seats to spin freely during the 770-foot course. This rotation during hills and drops makes each ride unpredictable.
