The Dragon is a steel roller coaster located at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa, near Des Moines.

The Dragon made its debut on May 12, 1991, during Adventureland's sixteenth full season. It cost an estimated $2.1 million dollars to build The Dragon. It is still Adventureland's only coaster which loops completely upside down.

Layout

The train traverses a few bunny hops and a 90-degree right turn as it coasts from the station to the lift. Cresting the lift, it makes a small dip, a roughly 90-degree turn to the right, and drop down and into the two back-to-back loops. Following the loops is a right turn into a figure eight segment and then some curves back to the station.
