Iron Dragon

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 46 inches

About Iron Dragon

One of the first suspended coasters in the world, it was built by Arrow Dynamics in 1987. This ride is fun, but at 40 mph, a bit on the slow side when compared with its peers. The final tangle of track at the end is pretty good.

An okay ride that often has very short lines. Ride in the back for a somewhat more thrilling ride. This ride used to be a favorite of mine as a child and is still a ride that my whole family can enjoy. Top Thrill Dragster fans can also use this ride to check out the queue length of Dragster. - Erin B

I thought it was gonna be like Ninja but I was wrong. This ride is so tame and not so thrilling. Although the use of terrain surface is quite good, the ride is quite rough for its size. Ninja is way better than this one. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro

A pretty boring ride, but worth the short wait. It goes so slow through most of the ride that some people would rather look at the pictures of the scenery that could be taken on the ride than actual ride it. - Michael Berger

Gentle and boring.Nice beginner coaster. - Allan Birmantas

Kind of the equilvalent of the Top Gun at Kings Island, only lamer. Suspended closed in seats. Really no hills, just a bunch of turning. I would have liked it better if I was 12. Thrill factor for me: 1 out of 5. - Carrie Wehlage
