This is an older coaster and isn't really much when compared to newer rides. It's not very high, long or fast. Not a bad way to start the day off though if your at Canada's Wonderland. One good thing is that the line is generally short so if you just want to get on a ride quicklyduring peak hours, this is a good option.

For how old Dragon Fire is, it is a decent ride. This ride is also a very good beginners coaster.

Better than "The Bat", a roller coaster similar to Dragon Fire . On Dragon Fire, the wait is short, except on weekends, when there are huge crowds, and you can choose where you want to sit without running for the seat that you want. On "The Bat", it's a different story. The wait line for this coaster is always long. Also, there is no choice seating on "The Bat". If you want the front seat on "The Bat", then you have to run for it. If you don't believe me, check out "The Bat" yourself and you will see what I am talking about. Finally, "The Bat" is much more intense than Dragon Fire. When I used to go on "The Bat", which I no longer do, I always came off with a headache. But on Dragon Fire, I am always looking for another ride without stepping into the queue. If I see an empty seat on Dragon Fire's exit platform with no one in the queue, I always move into that seat. I have as many as 5 rides in a row on Dragon Fire. When I got off "The Bat", I always ran for the exit when the ride was complete. So, go on Dragon Fire, not "The Bat". Politically, "The Bat" is like the former communist soviet union. Dragon Fire, however, is like a democratic country. When I compare Dragon Fire and "The Bat", Dragon Fire always burns "The Bat"!

And I can't believe Wonderland took a train out of Dragon Fire and put it on "The Bat". The park should have bought a new train for "The Stupid Bat"!

On my latest visit to Wonderland, I went on Dragon Fire close to 30 times, with 7 and 8 ETR when I decided to go on Dragon Fire after getting off Drop Zone! The short lineup and the thrills on this coaster kept me from going on to other rides until I wanted to go on SkyRider, my second-place favourite coaster at Wonderland.

My first inverted coaster. Definitley a good one for beginners. Has been a rough ride as of late though. Painted purple in 2005, doesn't look that bad.

I used to like Dragon Fire until I rode Dragon Mountain and SFDL's Viper. Now, I won't visit PCW again.

Dragon Fire is a good roller coaster. And to those of you who don't like it, at least it was built by a company that is creative. 4/5

One of my favorite coasters. Yeah, it's short, but the front seat is amazing on this classic arrow looper. Thanks to the really short lines, I sometimes ride this coaster at least 30 times in one day.

This coaster is ok for a classic Arrow Looper, but the track could use a new coat of paint.

This ride is pointless, and it should be replaced with a really unique B&M Floorless.

Worthless piece of crap. Can't believe PCW hasn't removed it yet.

What a waste of a coaster! Not just boring, but rough as hell too.

Pretty good ride, mildly rough. Not too exiting, but those corkscrews are PAINFUL!
Also, anyone who thinks this ride should be replaced by something else... WHY?!
This ride is a piece of history, a classic Arrow and one of Wonderlands first coasters.
Besides, there is plenty of room for another coaster in the park WITHOUT demolishing DragonFire.
