Sea Dragon at RCDB

The Sea Dragon is a junior wooden roller coaster located at Jungle Jack's Landing in Powell, Ohio.

The coaster was built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company and began operating in 1956. It recently celebrated its 50th birthday in 2006. The Sea Dragon was originally called Jet Flyer, but changed its name sometime in the 1970's (?).

The coaster has one four-car train. Riders are seated two across with two rows per car, giving the coaster a capacity of 16 riders.

A very old picture of the Sea Dragon when it was named Jet Flyer. The carousel in the picture still runs, now at the connecting zoo.
