Dragon Slayer, Steel roller coaster at Adventureland, Altoona, US
Dragon Slayer features spinning cars mounted horizontally on both sides of a red track, reaching heights of 112 feet at speeds of 34 miles per hour.
The attraction opened in May 2021 as a replacement for the Dragon coaster, which operated from 1990 to 2019 at the same location in Adventureland park.
The medieval theme incorporates a castle entrance facade and two train sections named Knight and Squire, offering different intensity levels for various rider preferences.
The ride accommodates eight passengers per train with four seats across two rows, completing its course in approximately 45 seconds with multiple inversions.
As a 4D Free Spin model manufactured by S&S Sansei Technologies, the coaster allows seats to rotate freely during the 770-foot journey through hills and drops.
