The Fire Dragon was selected by People Magazine in 1984 as one of the top 10 coaster rides in the country! Zooming through these breathtaking 65 foot diameter loops, 75% of the body's weight is pressed into the seat.... Don't even think of standing up!

Located on the South Midway area of the Park, this roller coaster is one and a half times as high as the existing Roller Coaster and twice as high as the Jet Star 2. The Fire Dragon consists of three trains; each holds 28 passengers. In operation at Lagoon, the capacity for the Fire Dragon is 1,600 passengers per hour. The ride is almost totally automated; it is run by a computer, however, 4 to 6 operators and attendants are on site to operate the ride.

The Fire Dragon is included with Ride and Season Passports.
