Duel was originally a haunted house ride where riders would go on a ghost train type adventure. In 2005, the ride was revamped and renamed "Duel". Duel is a still a ghost train type ride but this time round you get to fight back. Using a blaster, riders shoot little LED type targets to see who can get the biggest score.

Zombies, spiders and other ghouls will try their best to scare you!

The exterior and interior queue-line is really well themed. Duel is the only notable attraction in the Gloomy Wood area of the park.

For some odd reason I absolutely loved duel! It was incredibly fun and the music rocked! Even though the effects were
cheesey it has a certain cooky charm to it. Would love to try duel live!

This ride used to be great, a 10, the best Ghost Train I have ever been on. It was a feats for the eyes. Then in 2005
they ripped out half of the cool stuff and replaced it with small green lights and a boring light gun game. What a
waste. I hope it is returned to it's former glory one day.

Love this ride. One of my favourite dark rides. I've been on it so much I know the layout off by heart. It's deffinetly
worth doing but gets popular when it's raining so do it in the morning when it's quiet.

It was such a relief to get revenge on that big bloody spider, after the ride stopping when the ten year old
arachnaphobe version of me was underneath it. Bit of friendly rivalry is always fun XD

It would be quite funny if Lordi was in there singing the songs from "Rock Heavy". My family and m yself loved this ride
but I decided to give the ride an 8.

I was genuinely scared on this because I'm really jumpy and hate it when I'm not aware of what might happen. Even
though it's a kids ride. I found it really hard to shoot the LEDs, even after the third time in a row, where nothing
bothered me anymore, i couldn't shoot the damn lights!

Although I liked the ride on Duel recently more than my previous rides, I still can't help think that it was a far
better ride as the Haunted House. Duel is simply a random shoot em up where you could simply shut your eyes and score
points, you spend so much time mind numbingly blasting at small LED's that the whole Haunted House surprise and shock
emotions are completely lost. Not a bad ride by all means, I just think it is less a ride than it was.

Duel is so much fun and is very well themed as it is situated in gloomy wood. It is a fun ride for all the family, well
maybe not little kids who may get scared but still.The only thing i find wrong with duel is you're arms begin to hurt
about half way round the ride and becomes very painfull and as the ride seems like the ride it is never going to end
this doesnt help much.7/10 fun but too long.

I'm not too fond of it now that it has been changed-possibly I'm subconsiously angry that my friends always beat me.

When i visited the towers a few months back with my mates, having previously not been since the construction of Air i
had high expectations for this interactive ride. It wasnt to busy either when we visited so we could reride as much as
we liked. I have to say i loved it, you get a good long ride and even though the monsters may not be the most scary
villains in the world it made for an exciting experience. The competitiveness between me and my friends was great, we
went round at least 6 times in a row. (yeah, quite sad i know)I never did win! For my first and to this day only
interactive dark ride experience i think it was brill.

This ride has a brilliant atmosphere and an interesting gameplay idea. The animatronics are a little dodgy but that
doesn't mean it's a terrible ride. Luckily for people like me, it doesn't scare too much and stuff doesn't get in the
way of the gameplay.
