About The Dragon
The Dragon at LEGOLAND Windsor is a roller coaster that begins as a slow-moving dark ride through Knights' Castle scenes, then transitions into an outdoor coaster section with a top speed of 40 mph. The combination of indoor theming and outdoor thrills makes it one of the most popular family coasters at the park. Ride duration about 90 seconds.
The Dragon's hourly throughput is moderate - queues typically run 30-60 minutes on busy days. Lower height limit (1.05m) makes it accessible to most school-age children. The dark-ride portion at the start is genuinely entertaining and adds value beyond just the coaster section.
The Dragon has averaged about 17 minutes of wait over recent weeks, and is typically busiest around 2pm and quietest around 10am. Over the last two weeks it has been open around 93% of the park's operating hours. It's typically quietest on Wednesdays and busiest on Sundays.
