| | I am interested to find out how my fellow coaster fans compare 'Fire' and 'Ice' of Duelling Dragons. They are both great rides, of course, but personally I would give Ice a slight edge over its rival. Fire is marginally faster and has 3 big loops, while Ice has 2 loops and that twisty corner that brings us with the close encounter with the castle wall. It is because of this variation that I give Ice the extra point. |

| Have to agree and say Ice, in particular the back row. That's the only time, I've ever felt the effects of mild motion-sickness so it must be pretty intense! Fire just makes me laugh from beginning to end, just like the rest of the rides in Orlando as I always feel so jubilant.... but I also laugh when I'm nervous so perhaps it's the latter rather than the former! |

You really have to do them both since they are different. Both are very good rides and it would be a pity to miss either; it is just that many of us feel that ICE is marginally better than her fiery brother because of the variations and unexpected encounters. |

All right then...the colours as well.  I also prefer blue to red. Actually, my favourite colour is Green, but I still think Kraken (blue) is better than the Hulk (green). |

| Ice even has purple bits on it which is my favourite colour!
Hulk is pretty impressive in it's green metallic, although Kraken too has a certain eye catching appeal, hmm I'll have to think about this one!! |

| Colours???! You people really are refined... I just like a ride which when it finishes you aren't sure if your vital organs are where they started - usually are (I think) although maybe not the brain.... hmmm! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
