Dueling Dragons (Ice) Front Seat on-ride POV Universal Studios Islands of Adventure

[TheMadPsychologist]

ice!!! ICE WAS BETTER WOOOO GO HP!!!

[TheCrystalHawk]

@TheMadPsychologist FIRE!!!

[rfc123ryan]

thumbs up if you could imagine the guy saying "GO ICE GO" being fat and tanned.

[carrothaed4]

This looks fun.

[tabitha12342k10]

Lol "GO ICE GO!"

[iamstevegod]

Is this or the fire one, better than Nemesis at Alton Towers? I mean the roar that that thing makes is sick.

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@iamstevegod Not really. As far as we're concerned Nemesis is the best B&M invert (this type of coaster) on the planet.

[RaVeN85]

i read somewhere the ''dueling'' thing is no more the trains dont leave at the same time is that true ?

im going there in may cant wait

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@RaVeN85 Yes, it's true. They do not duel anymore. Two people were injured by 'flying objects' from the other train last year & they run at separate intervals now to prevent that from happening again.

[TheCrystalHawk]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom I know. I was only seven the last time I was at Islands of Adventure. That was when they dueled. Now I regret not going with my older cousin at the time. Although, I don't see why they can't duel anymore. They tell us not to bring loose items; not the park's fault if people don't listen. I rode fire on Monday, I think it's better, but the ride is too short.

[YouBelonqWithMe]

I remember this off thise one cheerleader movie, bahahah.

[Memberotto]

What's a "zero-g roll"? I can imagine that it has something to do with zero gravity? But how does it look n' shit?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Memberotto You might want to click on Inverstions under Info in the top menu on our website to see a description, photos & graphics of a zero-g roll, as well as all the other inverting elements of a roller coaster.

[samanthapearfields]

its weird how they renamed this ride so it can be part of the harry potter thing :P it could of been the same

[rfc123ryan]

coasterforce: i know this is nothing to do with universal studios but , does rita at alton towers go 62 mph or 100 mph . and have you rode it ! did you like it ? ;D

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@rfc123ryan Rita goes 62 mph & we ride it all the time, so of course we like it. ;-)

[uniquelancelot]

I couldn't chose one. I have to do both.

I met an amazing Father and Son from England on this ride, they imparted a crucial piece of wisdom to me, always sit in the very front or the very back.

[MrFunbananas]

even watching it makes me sick

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@TheCaniac28 If you go to our website & click on Inversions under Info in the top menu you'll find descriptions, photos & diagrams for all the elements found on roller coasters. you can also use this link (just put a . between coasterforce & com) coasterforcecom/coasters/inver­sions

[LeishaWS]

THIS RIDE IS AMAZING!

Went to america in august 2011, and the fire one was my first big ride of the holiday, then i went on ice, sat right at the front with my 2 brothers, when u come up to the wall u think you are going to kick the wall, its imense! much love for this ride!!!

[marciii411]

OMGGG THAT LOOKS LIKE THE BESTTTTT RIDE EVERRRR

[nascarflamerush11]

ICE STOLE FIRE!

[natethegreat100010]

When did they not make this duelling anymore? I went on March Break and they were duelling all the time!... it really loses something without it :/

[4dMuffin]

@natethegreat100010 august 2011. sucks huh

[TheIconicHD]

i absolutly f****** love these coasters, went on holiday to florida summer last year :) the part where the loops come together everyone tucks their legs in, its so funny to watch..

[canersikes]

Fullscreen.. I road dueling dragons in my living room, bitch.

[krissy5545]

omg 1:10 is lik so close

[CpZr100]

I went on this not too long ago and the Ice was faster then Fire, and they even changed the name to Dragon's Challenge.

[Cuhrayon]

o.o



[MoonLitCat]

Its not like theres much of anything difference with the ride with the Harry Potter theme... and hey thats not fair they got a head start!

[tuckerflem]

this was the ride i lost my flip flop on ......its ok they were ugly anyways ;)

[Floridagurl2018]

Haha, The guy saying "Go Ice Go", annoying but funny!

[LoganLRockz13]

To bad they changed it to the "harry potter" theme

[LoganLRockz13]

@Floridagurl2018 They did a while ago...

[NoRestTillDeth]

i would have a heart attack and die if i went ont his ride it looks scary as hell

[345isac]

ice



[345isac]

i went on oce so freakin cooll mann

[split1654]

I go with Ice cuz I Love Blue xD!

[makalakesh177]

1:23 

[msx500]

@DrNippleHair correction, ice actually frozen water, applying heat to ice would melt it

[terrance90baby]

im going with fire

[Krazyjesus]

STOP ICE STOP! ....... CRASH ICE CRASH!!

[maine7591]

I love this ride

[maine7591]

I love this ride

[jipandesal]

I'm guessing the guy at 0:46 is tryna copy Cool Runnings.

[lilycutecat]

love this ride my favorite!!!!!!! ice is better than fire

[AlexRaveloTV]

0:46 OMG SHUTUP! GO ICeee gooo :(

[BRYANFROST]

ICE! ICE! ICE COLD WATER! ICE COLD WATER! ICE! ICE! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! LMFAO!!!!!

[PerfectlyUnperfect20]

I like the way the "duel" when they come together you can almost touch the others feet. It's so awesome.

[supermariohunter2001]

If you are video game expert you would,....wait AAAhHhhhhhHhhHHhhhh the ice dragon!!!!!!

[NatalieSproat13]

this ride was so much better when it was dueling dragons. now that its the harry potter one they dont race. which totally spoils it.

[ilovehcjc3]

I went on both fire and ice and I must say I was a bigger fan of Ice!

[lululemongirl92]

Can somebody tell me the differences between the fire and ice like is there differetn stuff ? orrrrr do they do the same thing? which ones better

[GJdude8612]

@lululemongirl92 totally different layouts, but same type of coaster. As far as which is better, it depends on what you like. Most people like fire better because it is more intense

[TheKimmy106]

Thumbs up if you think "Ya! I can totally do that! There's nothing to it." Then go and get in line and be like "NO! I WAS WRONG!!!!"

[shadowaful]

GO ICE GO :-]

[RoxiiIsTheName]

It's like the roller coaster can hear you. -.- lol.

[antoniohdg]

I rode this while it was nightime so we couldt see the tracks

[SovietWalrus1]

this ride will ALWAYS be remembered as dueling dragons. I mean I love the wizarding world of harry potter alot, i went in its first month. But I will never get used to saying dragon challenge. plus in case you havent heard the coasters dont go at the same time anymore so that kills the whole effect at 1:22.

[msx500]

@SovietWalrus1 apparently i heard they don't duel anymore because of idiot kids who thought it was funny to purposely throw stuff off, i dunno whether it's true or not, just heard it somewhere

[SovietWalrus1]

@msx500 yeah unfortunately ive heard the same thing. its a damn shame and like i said it really takes away alot of excitement from the roller coaster

[msx500]

@SovietWalrus1 i couldn't agree more, fortunately i wasn't one of those kids who ruined it for everyone, so it really is a right shame

[BUllETpR00f782]

fire melts ice :P

[0294NTN]

When I went to Universal Studios Florida I wanted to get on this roller coaster but it was closed

[userwizard234]

I like ice better, but I never been on either so I can't say.

But Some elements on one is better than the other, because some are just trying to kill you or something

[JOSUELITOlive]

is this in florida?

[MsNikki4lyf]

Is it a bad idea to wear Vans Slip-ons for this ride?

[BieberBladers143]

why does one side go infront of the other

[xMRSIBO]

Ice over fire!

[DudeDie222]

This is the only way to relive the good ol' dueling days.

This ride will never duel again.

[borderlandsROCKS08]

Ice is better than fire! ice ftw!!

[Edricthecool222]

I LIKE ICE BETTER BECAUSE IT HAS MORE INVERSIONS, ITS FASTER, AND THE INVERSIONS ARE COOL!

[maddancer1002]

@Edricthecool222 both sides have 5 inversions, red side is actually faster with a bigger drop.

[Edricthecool222]

@maddancer1002 oh.....it seemed like the cobra roll made ice have 7 inversions

[MsNikki4lyf]

@maddancer1002 why is it that they make fire better? O.o

[msx500]

@MsNikki4lyf i dunno, fire would melt ice

[codybiebsluvXD]

GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! GO ICE! OH SHIT ICE DON'T GO AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[lollipop7291]

GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO!!!!!! LOL XD I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE THINKING (WOW I BET YOUR MOTHER IS SOOOOO PROUD)

[sportsygirl8]

@lollipop7291 If it was me I would be saying "Ice Ice baby" lol just kidding. 

[Pizzacentral]

ice seems faster is it

[fireflames57]

i lost my glasses here :D

[danspeedemon]

Loved this ride. When i went the lines were extremely short. It was great, we just rode these over and over. I think I like ice better.

[stewieikill]

@danspeedemon Yea is the best! I went on ice and it was awesome, and I think ice is shorter because mainly everyone thinks fire is cooler. But in my opinion I really don't think so. I agree with the guy on the ride....GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! lmfao

[IrishDancer1014]

Everyone was saying " go ice go go ice go go ice go" funny man! Which one is better fire or ice cause I'm going for a field trip only fifth graders can go to islands of adventure and I want to go on this which one fire or ice ? Comment on my videos.

[msx500]

@IrishDancer1014 when i first went on this back when it was actually called Dueling Dragons i didn't know which one to go on, so we ended up with the one that got back first, which was Fire, so we went on Fire

[clarin0]

too bad, i wasnt able to ride this one because it was closed when we got there :(

[ISoFreshhh]

Me and my friend went on that and we heard a guy say HOLY CHEEZ AND CRACKERS!!!!!!!!

[monkeylad247]

Went on this front seat in august, it's awesome!!!!!

[EpicWowStudios]

thats my favorite ride ever!

[JSonicX7]

ICE ICE ICE ICE GO ICE ICE ICE GO ICE GO GO ICE GO GO ICE GO GOOOOOOOOOOOOO XDD

[iTerabithia]

omg last time i rode this ride i kept hearing "go ice go" in my head, even if they dont race them anymore:/

[MegaKrazykris]

@iTerabithia omfg they dont why that was the best thing about them !!!!!!!

[iTerabithia]

@MegaKrazykris Noo :/ because someone dropped a phone or something out of their pocket so they stopped racing them, idk if this is just tempoary because it happened in august and i was there like 5 days after and have been a couple times since then, and they still aren't racing them :/

[MegaKrazykris]

@iTerabithia THAT RUNES THE RIDE THEN BECAUSE THE BEST THING WAS GETTING SCARED THAT U WERE GONNA RUN INTO THEM LOL NOW THERE NOT GONNA DO THAT ITS GONNA BE WEAK :/

[TheSackboyKing]

Thumbs up if you think this is the greatest ride ever!!

[TheTallMan35]

At 1:23 it looks like the two dragons are gonna collide. I see feet!!

[randomchiick1]

im sorry but i like died laughing hearing that guy said "GO ICE GO!" omfg

[StarshipRanger11]

@randomchiick1 same :'D

[maxter480]

@randomchiick1 I've been on this ride a good 20 times and every time I go on I shout that like that guy because it's hilarious

[vscanzi]

1:22 = EPICNESS

[Brotherclips]

LOL! turn the volume up and you'll hear the guy in the background saying: GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! go ice ... OH NO! OH LORD NO ICE! ICE DON'T GO! XD

[MrZombow]

The Harry Potter names on this coaster's are really fucked up. Keep the real original names!!!

[SPcoasterKidz]

@MrZombow someone hasn't read the books

[Brotherclips]

@MrZombow *facepalm* Harry potter used Dueling Dragons and Universal uses Dragon Challene so your saying the original (Dragon Challenge) is a f**ked up name

[Brotherclips]

LOL! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO! GO ICE GO!

[toonlinklogigan]

i like ice most cuz it has varied inversions

[MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

it should be called " the dueling gansters "

[MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

fire and ice is like dueling bloods and crips lol but dont get me wrong i am NOT ganster i am onley saying this for a funny moment. and the guy yelling was halliriaous

[queensthug]

Go ice

[x52010]

I was on fire. TWICE

[SpilledCoffeeStudios]

Lol I searched this with voice recogntion and it thought I had said Doing Dragons lolol

[L33TGam3r95]

Sucks they don't go at the same time anymore

[ThaSilenTT]

@L33TGam3r95 They don't ? Awwwe that sucks, it ruins the fun out of it.

[devilishk3]

Now I can't remember if I went on fire or ice, shit

[cholt404]

I love how the guy yelling go ice says, wait NO ICE NO ICE AHHHH as he goes down xD

[cholt404]

go ice go go ice go wait no ice no ice aaahhhhh!!!!!!!

[keyblademastersora43]

@cholt404 yea lol

[StruckByRain]

If I rode this and the other side was broken down, I would be upset. D:

[XxXDustenXxX]

its amazing that a black man started it wait to go!

[oliviaablaza]

YES! HARRY POTTER WORLD! HUNGARIAN HORNTAIL (blue) & CHINESE FIRE BALL (red)!!!! WOOT! WOOT! :D

[bobbyscanlon]

how nauseating is this 

[Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

@bobbyscanlon quite a bit if you ride it alot this was second rollercoaster i ever rode and after i got off it was quite dizzing but not nauseating yet.



[singinpkmn]

ice is when water is frozen

fire is when glass and sand are mixed and heated at very high temperatures

hmm........

i would have to say neither because fire may be able to melt ice but then the water puts out the fire

[187MIAMIBOY]

ice baby ice!

[mattssamson23]

i like ice so i went go ice go go ice go den ate some ice (so i said go ice go while watching dis and ate some ice)

[conklova]

ICE



[KnockoutCuban]

i wento on ice but now its called "the dragons challange " f 'in harry potter but i thought they were the same lol

[TwilightRenesmeefan]

I like ice Ive been on it and I liked ice better

[therealbriarfalgoust]

ice goes too flat in areas. it sucks. fire ftw.

[Maddieyeah14]

at like 1:10 it looked like they were going to crash!

[bobbyscanlon]

wats better 4 a beginer

[ellzabethe]

@bobbyscanlon everyone i ask says ice, i will definitely try it and let you know... i am afraid of rollercoasters but am conquering that fear! lol

[bobbyscanlon]

@ellzabethe thanks :)

[illeshazy]

dueling dragons is not there anymore they put gay ass harry potter!

[DudeDie222]

@illeshazy Dude, it's the same ride, just a stupider name.

[bobbyscanlon]

which is scarier

[illeshazy]

@bobbyscanlon ICe=Speed Fire= More Loops and turns.

[JSonicX7]

@illeshazy no its the other way around fire is more speedy but it does not have that much loops and ice is kinda slow but has more loops

[Raveyn6]

I like Ice better than Fire, really miss riding this coaster

[GreenDay4Ever73]

OMG ice sounds alot better, in my opinion, even though ive never rode it! :D

[fredmercuryqueen]

Can you pick in which one do you wanna go?

[xtremecoasters123]

along with hydra, ice is the only other b&m coaster[not including hyper coasters] that doesn't start with an inversion. so i choose ice

[syngates9210]

Rode ice couple years back... almost crapped myself -_- 

[M1zZkAyKaY]

Wats better for beqinners Fire or Ice ?

[weightlifter93]

@M1zZkAyKaY fire is faster ice flips more lol take your pick



[M1zZkAyKaY]

@weightlifter93 im going to go with Fire ! thats going to be my first upside down roller coaster, Thanks for your help !

[weightlifter93]

@M1zZkAyKaY lol good choice and no problem

[jfizzlekrizzle]

I can only imagine how packed HPWorld is right now! haha

[rockybladeboomer]

which one do you think is better fire or ice?

[tWoodsFan00001]

fire

[ApollineOfficiel]

1:10 Wooah. O__O

[1969micmic]

Im gona ride it in a few week!.CAN'T WAIT! LITTERALLY

[SchnauzerGirl1000]

Hulk jerks you around, ALOT. DX I hated it. Dueling Dragons <3

[iTwinzUK]

Does it hurt your head a lot, as I want to ride this but I carnt bash my head too much coz of problems???

[Universalcoasters]

Also the hulk is better becuz its realy smooth going

And the dragon challenge jerks u around alot

But i still love both

[Universalcoasters]

@theallyproject

I know i rode it last week when i went therw

Tht eide is amazing! The Hulk is my new fav

And i put my hands up for the launch (:

[theallyproject]

GO ICE GO!

[Universalcoasters]

@mijelic22

The Incredible hulk is wayy better than this ride! The dragon challenge wa my fav until i got the guts to ride the Hulk its AMAZING!!

So yes Hulk is better and not nearly as bad as it looks

[Mijelic22]

which is better this or incredible hulk.

[vivaladan009]

ice is the better of the two

[Universalcoasters]

Im at universal now(: just rode this twice it was closed early this morning i witnessed them taking cars off the tracks for evaluation in a warehouse

Then i got to ride(: it was realllly fun

If ican do this should i ride the Hulk??

[theallyproject]

@Universalcoasters Im 11 and been on both! I think the hulk is sooo much better! This is actually scarier then hulk in my opinion! If you can do this, you can do the hulk with no problem!

Just a tip though: When it first starts moving, KEEP YOUR HEAD BACK. Just sayin'.

[SoftballCB23]

ice is better if u like loops more then drops..if u like drops wayyyy more then go on fire but i like the ice better

[SoftballCB23]

BEST RIDE EVER!!!! went on it twice...was going to go on 3 times but it was closed because of t-storms coming

[DarkMonestry]

i like ice better. ICEEEEEEEEEEe

[Universalcoasters]

First off for those who think that both sides of the coaster are different (fire, ice or whatever it is now) they arent. They have the same speed, height, and length. The only thing different is te types of inversions like zero G roll or corkscrew (both sides have 5 inversions) and the color.

I know this from research so yes they are not really that different (i.e the red one really isnt more intense thats just the opinion of people)

[Universalcoasters]

red side

is better!!!

[bohrokthunder]

love the radom dude cheering for ice maybe he couldent stand fire

[keyblademastersora43]

GO ICE GO GO ICE GO OH LORD ICE DONT GO AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
