Dueling Dragons (Fire) Roller Coaster Review

Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando

Even this HD video cannot prepare you for this incredible steel roller coaster. Dual tracked suspended dueling coaster the fire ride is 3200 ft long and the drop is 115 ft. I am scared of heights but after this exhilarating ride I am addicted to the combination of  speed and excitement.  Definitely worth waiting an extra  20 minutes to get front row seats.

The Fire and Ice dragon coasters dual each other 5 times, feels incredibly close at times (18″). Have ridden both coasters many times but hard to pick a favorite. One enthusiast managed to ride Dueling Dragons 64 times in one day, presuming he had an Express Pass!

In awe at the level of detail Universal lavished on the dragons castle. I went in October when the queues where minimal and confined to the final boarding area. Can imagine the wait in the peak times stretching back through the claustrophobic creepy corridors to the castle entrance, however this is one amazing ride which should not be missed.

Dueling Dragons (Ice) roller coaster review

Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando

Awesome dueling roller coaster located in Islands of Adventure, Orlando. Choose between Fire and Ice, this dual tracked coaster passes each other (within 18″) 5 times. Exhilarating coaster (sit on your flip flops or lose them) which reaches 55mph is one of my favourite rides in Orlando.

Five inversions, corkscrew, vertical loops, worth getting there early and avoid the queues to get front row seats.  125ft high, 2 minutes 25 seconds pure adrenalin rush, one ride will not satisfy if you are into big thrill rides.
