Steel Dragon is a steel spinning roller coaster located at Waldameer & Water World in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] It was manufactured by Maurer AG and opened in 2004.
Steel Dragon opened to the public on July 2, 2004. It was in continuous operation since opening until 2025, when it remained closed at the beginning of the season due to the delayed installation of a new control panel.[2] The ride reopened to the public on July 4th, 2025 following the successful installation of the new control system.[3][4]
