Close up of the Ice Daragon (left) and fire Dragon (right)

The Wizard roams the area telling the lore of the ride and it's surroundings.

Distant shot of the ride.

Similar shot to above

The two trains just leave the lift hill. The computer automatically adjust the speeds of each train so they leave the lift hills at the same time to keep the dueling effect.

Each train drops in it's respective direction.

Here the Fire Dragon is shooting past us while the Ice dragon will be along shortly.

Lots of feet!

It is difficult to see, but both trains are traveling directly toward each other and into the loops. From the front seat, this is an excellent effect. The combined speed of the two trains and the fact that you don't see the track swerve makes you believe a collision is eminent.

Even once the trains pull out into the loops, they don't get too far apart!

Another view of above.

This is another fun part where again, things get close.

While the trains are in the loops, this view shows the end of the ride where it enters the station.

This is the exit path.

This is also the exit path with the entrance crossing over on top of the bridge. Dueling Dragons has one of the most elaborately themed queue lines ever created (and longest).
