On this episode of the Airtime Misfits Podcast, we're discussing The Dragon. Making it's debut on May 12, 1990 at Adventureland in Altoona, IA, The Dragon was the first coaster in Iowa to feature an inversion (two back-to-back vertical loops). Not only was The Dragon the only looping coaster at Adventureland, it was also the only looping coaster in the entire state of Iowa for over 25 years. All the way until 2016 when Adventureland debuted The Monster, a Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster featuring five inversions.
The Dragon gave its last rides to guests on September 29, 2019. A portion of The Dragon was removed to make room for Dragon Slayer, a 4-D Free-Spin Coaster from S&S. As of the summer of 2021, a large portion of The Dragon is still standing, including the very picturesque back-to-back vertical loops.
