Dragon Challenge Review

Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure now open to muggles.

Dragon Challenge is the worlds only dueling inverted coaster.

Universal’s  Dueling Dragons roller coaster is being transformed into Dragon Challenge and will be based on the Triwizard Tournament from Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

The queue area snakes through the claustrophobic castle passages as you await your challenge.

Choose your dragon, either the ferocious Hungarian Horntail or the aggressive Chinese Fireball. The laden dragons are weighed before the tournament to ensure the timing of the duels provide the near miss experience. The dragons climb the lift hill and then split into two opposing rides reaching speeds of 55mph.  The roller coasters duel each other 5 times passing within 18″ in places and narrowly missing castle walls.  Enjoy the feeling of gliding towards the ground and then suddenly swooping up into another inversion  on this magical rollercoaster.

Five inversions, corkscrew, immelmann loop, cobra roll, vertical loops, near misses with dueling coaster,  worth waiting for front row seats.

Dragon Challenge is my favorite coaster in Orlando, ridden both dragons many times, still don’t have a favorite. I am addicted to the smooth exhilarating speed and thrilling ride of these  unmissable coasters.

Dragon Challenge is 125ft high with drop of 115ft. Awesome 2 minutes 25 seconds unique roller coaster, not to be missed.
