Iron Dragon is a steel suspended terrain roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. It was built in 1987 by Arrow Dynamics. The ride has cars that hang beneath the track allowing them to swing side to side, similar to Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
In 2016, virtual reality was trialled on Iron Dragon. Guests have to sign a waiver prior to riding.
