    I imagine duelling dragons at IOA must be one of the fastest, the Hulk is fast but so smooth its like riding a sofa. - Kraken at SeaWorld is probably next.

    The fastest I think is at Busch Gardens (Montu?), but thats down at Tampa, well worth the ride though.

    But then again when you can see the concretes coming at you at 60 miles an hour, Ripsaw falls feels just a little bit too fast!

    I guess the reason the duelling dragons appears to be so fast is due to the closing speed of the two coaster.
    Kraken is supposed to travel at 65 mph, upside down, ut whether it is the fastest I don't know.

    Kraken is offically supposed to be the 'tallest and fastest rollercoaster in Central Florida'. It is certainly the scariest, just ahead of Duelling Dragons & Hulk.

    fire the red coaster on duelling dragons reaches 68 miles per hour slightly faster and slightly longer track than ice the blue coaster, no im not an anorak last year we got to the front of the queue when a storm hit and while we were waiting the operator told us the full sad history of the ride.

    To get the best bloodcurdling effect on the Kraken, get on the separate queue for the front row, look down at top of the first drop and keep looking down as the coaster 'drops'. The start is one area where the Kraken scores over the Hulk; the former's gradual climb to the top of the first drop builds up the adrenalin nicely whereas the Hulk's sudden rush out of the tunnel does it too quickly - so quicky that one sometimes forgets to get scared.

    Okay chrisj, you will not be doing Kraken, take your daughter to Island of Adventure and do Duelling Dragons, followed by Hulk, and then Jurassic Park. I am sure you will have a great time!!!!
