Dragon Mountain is a steel roller coaster located at Marineland near Niagara Falls, Ontario. Built in 1983 by Arrow Dynamics, it was the tallest roller coaster in the world before the opening of Bandit at Yomiuriland in 1988. It was also the last time that a coaster designated "tallest in the world" has had inversions (in this case, 4).
