Background

Dragon was Adventureland's O.D. Hopkins-built double-looping steel coaster — the park's only inverting coaster until Monster opened in 2016.

Opened May 12, 1990 on Dragon Island, it climbed roughly 90 feet before back-to-back vertical loops and a helix, running until its final 2019 season. Dismantling began in 2020, with its signature loops left standing briefly as marketing banners for the incoming Dragon Slayer before full removal by 2022.
