Dragon, Steel roller coaster at Adventureland Park in Altoona, United States.
The Dragon featured multiple twists and loops throughout its 2,100-foot track, reaching speeds of 45 miles per hour during its operation.
The Dragon operated from 1990 to 2021 at Adventureland Park before being replaced by the Dragon Slayer, a modern 4D free spin roller coaster.
This roller coaster marked an era of traditional steel coaster design at Adventureland Park, contributing to Iowa's entertainment development.
