Are the Dragons still Dueling??

[Kitty347]

What's the latest on the Dueling Dragons? Are they still running a single Dragon, or are the Dragons back to Dueling?

Both dragons are running but they aren't dueling.

The trains will not be dueling anytime in the near future.

What a shame.. really miss that..

I know...that's the main attraction for this coaster. It's very disappointing.

The non dueling was evident on Friday...just seemed wrong...and it seemed there was a lot of empty seats on it too...I for one wont bother...very disappointed in this...

I understand their reasons for it, but it does seem wrong both not setting off at the same time.

We found them to be slightly slower loading when it was busy, which wasn`t often, as obviously it`s one dragon at a time, but it`s still a great ride. I like it because it`s so smooth.

Will still go on it though

Im sorry new hear...its been YEARS since we have been to US - but why don't they duel any longer?

They suspect that someone has been throwing objects from one train to the other train and injuring riders.

I was there the day after this was announced. There were frequent announcements about riders taking off loose articles and they were being very strict. The ride ops were asking individuals whether they had any loose items also.

When did they stop dueling? I was there over the Summer and they were dueling.

They've stopped in the past couple of weeks...about August 15th or so.

The dueling is a big loss for the front rows, it really makes the ride awesome -- but if you're not in those first few rows, you barely notice most of the "duels" anyway.

True but I liked the "flyover" on Fire and when they don't duel it just seems less exciting. I never waited for the front row...I usually rode in row two unless I got lucky and a single rider was needed for the front. But you're right...the further back the less the dueling is noticed.
