I was kidding by the way!!! I think all of the rides look so great when new, it's such a shame not to mention it!

Think that Hulk or Kraken is my fave but really couldn't say which. I'd probably say Hulk cos that means a day with much more thrills than SeaWorld, watching animals 'perform' for food is not my idea of a great day out. Sea World never used to be so obvious about it, but it now seems that at every opportunity to do so, they chuck a person in the water with the animals. That's another thread though...!

Do Fire and Ice have separate queues or do you choose when you get to the top of the Duelling Dragons queue? Thanks.

The same queue till you get close to the rides and then it splits-up. There are also separate queues for the front rows of each ride. These usually have a longer wait, but certainly worth it. This is because, you can see the other coaster approaching for the 'duels'

One strategy that works well for DD is to do IoA anti-clockwise. You then get to DD by mid-morning, when the queues are sparse. Also, try to go on a Tuesday - for some reason, IoA seems less popular on that day!

I also must be odd as I prefer Fire. Did front row on both last week and found Fire much faster. Did overhear someone saying as we left IOA that you should do front of Fire and back of Ice! O well maybe another year!!!

Fire is certainly a bit faster and has 3 big loops to Ice's two. But Ice offers more twisty cornering and that unexpected close encounter with the castle wall that gives it an edge for thrills over Fire.

I only managed to do Ice

Queued for front row seat, 15 seconds into the ride and the heavens opened. And boy, does the rain sting when you're in the front row! Don't know about screaming but I was certainly saying "Oooh, ouch! Owww!!" all the way round! It was brilliant though. Unfortunately the ride then closed for the remainder of the evening - but the Hulk did open again and I got to do it instead

I liked fire the best!!!! It was raining when we went and even a bit of a thunderstorm, but the ride never closed down!! I went on fire and then ice with my brother and then straight back on again fire and then ice. WICKED

has to be ICE for me as well.

Top tip: when you get off ask if you can go back on the other to fill the empty spaces as a single rider. I did it loads of times last year. Works a treat as they send you back through the turnstile

Just caught up with this thread. I love both these rides. Have done them both in the front seat and both in the dark. Fantastic. I think I prefere Fire if I had to choose.
