Rumors have always circulated that the dueling will return, only increasing following the addition of metal detectors to the ride. Note: they never did. Why did it close? Read our analysis here. What replaced it? Universal has announced that a new Harry Potter roller coaster, family-friendly though still thrilling, will open in I think this is a fantastic coaster.
I rode it four times in a row on DEC When it is running smoothly--and it was that day--there's not a better coaster in the parks. The workers and many riders will tell you that the blue coaster has more inversions and the red one is faster. A quick look at the Roller Coaster Database will tell you that they both the the same number of inversions 5 though they are different types, and that the Chinese Fireball goes 60 mph, while the Hungarian Horntail runs up to 55 mph.
The second-best coaster in Florida, imho. Sheikra is tops on my list. I absolutely loved this ride and highly recomend it. I think Fire is smoother, it is factually faster, and has I think one more inversion than Ice does.
And again, you see all of the near misses.. Fire and Ice start at the same height, but Ice has a shorter drop by 20 ft. Both are the same lenth and take the same amount of time to run their course. Both have 5 inversions. Fire in 5 seperate elements, Ice in 3 seperate elements and one double one.
I don't like the way those things feel. From Mark Walker Posted May 13, at PM I'll be the first to say I rate them both the same, and both sides are on my top ten attractions list. Dueling Dragons is my favourite coaster coasters?
Although the ice dragon has my favorite inversion a zero G roll , fire is still better with the two immelmans. While I do think the Chinese Fireball side is fun but I don't think it is really as intense as the other one.
The immelmans were fun, I think this side kinda lacked something I didn't ride it while dueling so I can't say my opinions about it while dueling. If I go to Universal next time I really don't want to because they're being lazy with their new rides lately , I will be looking forward to Hagrids to see how it counters with this ride.
Theming Capacity Layout. Inversions Location Fun Harness. So I'm not gonna hate on this. At least I'll never dislike it. It never left off a bad note.
Hagrid's does look better but a lot of people are gonna miss this ride. This was the better side of the 2.
Theming Intensity Duration. Pyrock was a long invert, with two whippy flat spins and two forceful immelmanns. The dueling was amazing, the layout snappy, and the theming excellent. I'll truly miss this awesome Invert, as Dueling Dragons was the best coaster on Universal property.
Pace Layout Too short. Pace Intensity Layout Dead spots. I've done five different inverts as of now and including these two both sides of Dragon Challenge are joint as my least favourite. Intensity Smoothness Layout Pointless. Fun Intensity Rattle. Ahh I loved both Ice and Fire! Was much better as dueling dragons before the harry potter take over in my opinion.
They were awesome! It was something special when on the front row and you came face to face with the other train, crazy! Such a shame they had to stop them dueling because of safety reasons.. I think once they stopped them dueling there wasn't much point in keeping them together like that..
Theming Nice surprise! What more can you want then 2 rollercoaster inverting at the same time. I did both colours 7 times Inversions Fun Intensity. Inversions Location Intensity Theming.
