Absolutely loved this ride(s)! Rode both but apparently you can't compare both tracks with each other as they are
completly different ride experiences!

Went on "fire" in april - had been looking forwarding to riding the DD's, but was really disapointed. Didn't seem to
duel like they should. Good theming, but ride no way near as good as B&M's Montu at nearby Busch Gardens Africa.

the edge to fire tho

Simply brought tears to my eyes these coasters were so good. My sister and my cousin both like Ice side better, but I
think Fire was the best. Front seat will give you one of the most magical feeling on any roller coaster. Especially with
that crazy vertical loop portion. The themeing is magnificent. I love anything about dragons, but the themeing just blew
me away! It made me feel like there was a background story to the 2 dragons.

These are my favorite rides in all of Florida! The dueling aspect as well as the theming and capacity make these rides
stand out.

Love this ride to pieces! The 1st drop is superb, this is almost as good as Alpengeist and Montu at BG. This is a
definete 3rd because it combines a great 1st drop, with awesome inversions. SO WORTH THE LINE!!!!!!

My top five inverts: Alpengeist Talon Deja Vu Montu DUELING DRAGONS With number three getting moved far
away, the dragons may move up a notch. Fire is a little better; it's taller faster, and I got to love those Immelmanns
(my favorite inversion).

Oh, and is it true that they are transforming tha Lost Continent into a hogwarts land? Where they are going to replace
dueling dragons with a quidditch tournament rollercoaster.. but keeping the same layout? Ive herd quite alot of rumors
about this.. please tell me its not tru

Yeah a great coaster. I live in England, im 14 but ive still ridden it at least 20 times. The queue is fairly short and
the near misses are amazing, especially at the front. I prefered ice, fire was a bit rough near the end.

Must have ridden it well over 50 times in the past 8 years (not bad being from Scotland) but I still can't decided which
side is better, Still a great coaster and the guy who came up with the idea is a genuis.

Fire is better, but I like ice just as well, they both create no nausea whatsoever and better than Nemesis. But
Alpengeist tops this ride!

Best Dueling. The theming is superb, I wish I had a photo of the entryway to post. This ride is supposed to be rethemed
to the New Harry Potter area that is set to open late 2009. Hope they reverse this decision, The dragon motif is
probably one of best theming Ive ever seen. The close calls are excellent, and each dragon is a completely separate and
unique thrill.

I love the theme. The que line was way longer than it should be, but otherwise, I liked the red dragon more then the
blue dragon

Fire I give a 9, Ice I give a 8. I liked how fire went faster and had more airtime, unlike ice which had little airtime
in my opinion.

great inverted coaster!!! the theme is awesome and both coasters are amazin. great inversions and the lines are usually
very short (hulk and spiderman have the longest lines) hard to pick a favorite but i usually ride the fire side so im
goin to lean toward that side. but both are very good.

Dueling Dragons gets a 10 from me. The close near misses are perfect! I love the near miss loops. A interesting part
which is still great is instead of a inversion to start the ride off like fire dragon, the ice dragon decides to do a
banked turn.

Everything about this ride is perfect and heres why:1. the themeing of this ride is immaculate - the queuing structure
throughout the castle really sets the scene up - at one point it was really difficult to decifer where you had to go
until you that booming voice asking you which dragon to ride. Atmospherics were perfect.2. Queuing and ride times are
impeccable - this is thanks to Hulk at the other nd of the park taking the brunt of the custom. Tip: wait til about 6pm
to ride this - the queues will be non-existant. (even in August)3. The ride itself. still to this day I have no
preference on which dragon was best, and where on the dragon to ride - it was all so good. The interaction between the
two dragons is unlike any coaster out there. That point where you literally pass eachother on the loop by just 12" is
incredible. 12" from inevitable death, nothing gets the adrenaline going than that. nothing. as well as that - there is
multiple passes/near collisions between the two trains. Ok, now im salvating so i should stop and book my tix to Orlando
:) 10/10

The dueling effect is pretty cool, but capacity has a tendency to falter because they often don't run both trains on
each side. The forces are good and the layouts VERY unique.

great ride...the duelling is just great and it packs a big punch (esp. ice dragon). i prefer the fire dragon to the ice
purely because i found the ice dragon a bit over-powering. themeing is great too!!

This ride has such a cool layout but I remember it being not too great of a ride.... Really not worth a que longer than
the hulks.
