Steel Dragon 2000

Rare card · No. 65362

Steel Dragon 2000 (スチールドラゴン2000, Suchīru Doragon Nisen) is a steel roller coaster located at Nagashima Spa Land amusement park in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Built by D. H. Morgan Manufacturing, Steel Dragon 2000 opened to the public on 1 August 2000. Its name derives from Chinese astrology and zodiac calendars in which the year 2000 represented the dragon. It broke several world records upon its debut, becoming the longest roller coaster in the world with a track length of 2,479 metres (8,133 ft), as well as the tallest and fastest complete-circuit coaster. Although its height and speed records were broken relatively quickly after its debut, it remained the longest coaster in the world until that record was broken in 2025 by Falcons Flight. With a maximum speed of 153 km/h (95 mph), it is tied with Fury 325 for being the fastest coaster featuring a lift hill.
