Dragon, Suspended roller coaster in Zator, Poland
Dragon is a suspended roller coaster at Energylandia in Zator, Poland, where the cars hang freely below the track and riders' legs dangle in the air. The track runs through a series of curves and inversions that swing riders sideways and downward throughout the ride.
Dragon opened in 2015 and was among the first major rides added as Energylandia began growing beyond its initial lineup. Its arrival helped the park build a reputation as a serious destination in Poland.
The ride sits in Energylandia's medieval-themed zone, where castle towers and dragon figures shape the scenery around the track. The name fits naturally into this setting, drawing on the kind of folklore that has appeared in European stories for centuries.
There is a minimum height requirement for this ride, so families with younger children should check before joining the queue. The ride runs throughout the year, but visiting on a quieter day helps avoid long waits.
On a suspended coaster, the cars are not locked onto the track from above but swing freely to the sides, which creates a feeling quite different from a standard roller coaster. This sideways swinging is most noticeable through the tighter bends in the course.
