Dragon is a double loop steel coaster located on Dragon Island. According to the Adventureland website, it opened on May 12, 1990. It was the only looping coaster in the park until the Monster opened in 2016.
According to Mike's Adventureland Pages, the Dragon was custom designed and costs $2.5 million. It climbs to 100 feet and drops through two 70-foot loops at 5.5 G's before slowing through a double reverse spiral.
(A note from Mike's site claims the Dragon replaced Convoy, which used to be on Dragon Island before it was relocated next to Frantic Freeway. I am trying to confirm.)
Trivia
Haunted House tracks
The queue area was originally built to house a haunted house dark ride acquired from Rirverview Park. On the concrete floor you can still see places where the track was installed, as well as tire marks from where the ride cars used to travel.
Shields
The shields you see hanging on the wall in the queue area represent ... Something. But what?
Mirror Maze
The ride exit goes through a small Mirror Maze which was once a larger standalone attraction.
