  • Dragon Fire


    Dragon Fire represents the first generation of coaster inversions. This classic Arrow looper takes riders through two vertical loops and two corkscrews (a total of four inversions) and then concludes with a helix. Although the layout seems plain, it was very characteristic of the era. Dragon Fire was one of four roller coasters original to Canada's Wonderland when it opened in 1981.
