Goodbye, Dueling Dragons: A Look Back at the Iconic Universal Orlando Ride

A beloved attraction is saying farewell

Universal Orlando's Dueling Dragons, a staple of the Islands of Adventure theme park for over two decades, will close its doors for the final time on Today. The ride, which featured two inverted roller coasters that raced side-by-side, has been a fan favorite since its debut in 1999.

A look back at Dueling Dragons

Dueling Dragons was a unique and thrilling attraction that offered riders a high-speed, adrenaline-pumping experience. The ride's two tracks intertwined throughout the course, providing riders with a close-up view of their opponents on the other side. The ride was also known for its fire-breathing dragons, which added to the overall excitement of the attraction.

Dueling Dragons has been a mainstay at Islands of Adventure for over two decades, but all good things must come to an end. The ride will close permanently on Today, making way for a new attraction in the park's Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
