Dragon Flyer was a steel powered coaster built by Italian manufacturer SDC previously located at Camelot Theme Park in Chorley, Lancashire, England, UK. It had a large oval layout which ran around the perimeter of the Knight's Valley section of the park. It opened in 1986 along with a number of other attractions.[1]

The Dragon Flyer had a fuel-powered engine in the train itself and thus required a driver who occupied the first row. The ride was the same type as Dragon at Paradise of Dreams in Algeria.

Since the closure of the park, the track has been standing but not operating. The train has since been sent to Pleasureland Southport where it is used for decoration.
