Adventureland today announced plans to open Dragon Slayer, a 4D Free Spin coaster, in 2021.

The Iowa park unveiled their plans via a Facebook post:

While the park did not release specific details about Dragon Slayer, from the video included in the post, the coaster is very obviously an S&S 4D Free Spin coaster — likely the “110” model which has been installed at seven Six Flags parks across North America.

According to the S&S website, the 4D Free Spin coaster “utilizes magnetic technology to induce and control spinning” across “three layers of vertically stacked track (that) feature speed bumps and two beyond vertical raven drops.”

Dragon Slayer will likely be a 110 model of S&S’ 4D Free Spin with the following specs:

Track length: 1,016 feet
Height: 109 feet
Max speed: 38 mph
Mag G-force: 2.8
Number of vehicles: 5
Riders per vehicle: 8
Capacity: 720 people per hour
Ride time: 50 seconds

Parks can make adjustments to control how often each of the coaster’s vehicles flips. The layout diagram below highlights the locations where cars have the potential to flip:
