Dragon Fyre is a steel roller coaster manufactured by Arrow HUSS that is located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.
The coaster is a mirror layout of Big Loop at Heide Park.
History

The roller coaster is one of four which opened with Canada's Wonderland in 1981.[1] It was named "Dragon Fyre" until it was changed to Dragon Fire for the 1997 season.[2] For the 2019 season, several other attractions in the Medieval Faire area had their original names restored, including Dragon Fire.[3]
Leviathan, opened in 2012, passes over Dragon Fyre. At a height of 93.3 metres, Leviathan's first drop is 70 metres taller than Dragon Fyre.[4]
