Dragon Mountain at RCDB

Dragon Mountain is a steel roller coaster located at Marineland of Canada near Niagara Falls, Ontario.[2] Built by Arrow Huss, it opened to the public on July 16, 1983.[3][4] At its opening, it claimed to have the longest ride time of 3 minutes and 30 seconds and the longest track length of 5,500 feet (1,700 m), though both of these statistics were exceeded by The Beast four years earlier.[5][6]

Dragon Mountain reaches a maximum elevation of 186 feet (57 m), which is considered the total difference in height experienced throughout the course of the ride, as the roller coaster's support structure follows closely to the terrain.[4] The ride covers 30 acres (12 ha) of land and is considered the "world's largest" roller coaster on that basis; however, The Beast at Kings Island opened four years earlier and travels across 36 acres (15 ha) of land, meaning that it never actually held that record.[6] It is also the only roller coaster with a bowtie element.

Upon the opening in the early 80's, the ride was missing the proposed volcano facade around the helix, and the miniature waterfalls built around the stretch of track after exiting the first tunnel. These unthemed parts of the ride had nothing but the framework, which was constructed along with the track. In 2006, Marineland decided to complete the volcano to improve the ride's appearance.
