The Dragon is a steel family roller coaster at Legoland California in Carlsbad. It opened with the park on March 20, 1999. The ride begins indoors, traveling through the castle walls past guards, a royal dining room, a dark tunnel and a wizard's quarters, then climbs a booster-wheel lift and finishes with a run outside.
The coaster was built by Vekoma as a custom version of its Junior Coaster and designed by Stefan Holtman. RCDB lists 1,247 feet of track and no inversions. Two trains of ten cars each carry 20 riders apiece.
Legoland California sets a minimum height of 40 inches; riders between 40 and 48 inches must ride with a responsible rider who is at least 14 years old and 48 inches tall.
