Iron Dragon is a steel roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Built in 1987 by Arrow Dynamics It is a suspended model where the cars hang beneath the track with free lateral movement allowing them to swing side to side. This gives the illusion that the train might crash into the supports of the ride.
Iron Dragon's previous color scheme was red track with grey supports. In 2004, the supports where repainted yellow, and the track repainted the same color of red.
