Dragon Slayer is a steel roller coaster at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa. It was built by S&S Worldwide, designed by Alan Schilke, and opened in 2021 in the space left by the park's Dragon looping coaster, which closed after the 2019 season.
It is a 4D Free Spin model: riders sit in seats on either side of the track that rotate as the car travels. Cars climb a 112-foot vertical chain lift, and the 770-foot course reaches 34 mph. RCDB counts no inversions of the track, although the spinning seats turn riders upside down. Each car seats eight riders, four across in two rows. The park uses magnets on the ride.
The park lists a rider height range of 48 to 77 inches.
