Dragon Coaster
Dragon Coaster was built by Frederick Church.  It is about 75 feet tall and 3,400 feet long.  Sadly, only three Fred Church coasters are still in operation today.

Church partnered with Thomas Prior on several coasters.  Prior & Church also designed and patented the racing carousel known as the Derby Racer.  Only three Derby Racers remain today -- one at Cedar Point, one at England's Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and one here at Playland.
