The Green Dragon was a wooden roller coaster located at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut.[1] It opened in 1914 but was later replaced by the Wildcat.[2] It was the first electrically powered roller coaster at the nation's oldest continuously operating amusement park.
This roller coaster was demolished in 1927 to make way for the Wildcat.[3]
