Dragon Challenge Fire Chinese Fireball Front Seat (HD POV) On-Ride Universal's Islands Of Adventure

Check out this POV of Dragon Challenge Chinese Fireball (Fire) at Wizarding World Of Harry Potter Universal's Islands Of Adventure. Formally known as Dueling Dragons.

Dragon Challenge is a pair of dueling roller coasters in the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter area of Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure, Orlando, Florida United States. The ride is the only dueling inverted roller coaster in the world. The ride is themed to two dragons, one side being Chinese Fireball and the other Hungarian Horntail. It features a layout in which the two trains share adjacent lift hills, but then traverse two completely unique courses. The ride features three near misses between the two trains, which bring riders' feet within several inches of riders on the other train. The ride was constructed by Bolliger & Mabillard of Switzerland. The Chinese Fireball dragon reaches a top speed of 63 mph and the Hungarian Horntail dragon reaches a top speed of 57 mph. Both dragons have a two minute and twenty-five second ride duration and include five inversions.
The attraction soft opened on June 1, 2010 and officially opened with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter area on June 18, 2010 with its grand opening.
When the park opened on May 28, 1999, the ride was called Dueling Dragons and was located in The Lost Continent area with the two coasters named Fire and Ice.
