Dueling Dragons

The details are amazing on this coaster.  Just going through the waiting queue is a wonderful experience.  And when a major part of Islands of Adventure is converted to a Harry Potter theme in the next two years, look for this coaster to change.  Details haven't been released yet, but I would bet that the castle associated with the coaster changes over to Hogwarts Castle.

After about a year of operation, parts of the waiting area for this coaster were removed.  Thanks to its high capacity, the ride rarely had a long line.  That newly opened space was used to build the Flying Unicorn coaster, a Vekoma junior coaster that opened in late 2000.
