Description

Dragon Fire is a steel roller coaster located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It was manufactured in 1980, but it was opened when the park made its debut in 1981 under the name Dragon Fyre until it was later renamed. It was one of the four original coasters at Canada's Wonderland.The ride is built at the east end of the park in the Medieval Faire section. It is located adjacent to the parking lot, so it is one of the first coasters that is seen. The coaster has a green and yellow track with purple support poles. Since the removal of Drachen Fire from Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Dragon Fire is also the only Arrow Dynamics coaster in existence to have counterclockwise-turning corkscrews.Dragon Fire was designed to operate with three trains, which is made evident by the fact that the ride has a set of safety brakes following the corkscrews and before the helix. However, due to the ride's short duration, it would be very difficult for the ride staff to load a train in the station without having one train stop in the middle of the ride. Because of this, Dragon Fire never used its third train. In 1987, the third train was modified for use on The Bat.Leviathan, which was constructed for 2012 season, towers just above Dragon Fire dwarfing it by 228 feet (69.5 m).
