I have not been on the duelling dragons but my DH has and he said it was good.
The dragons are two rollers coasters that ride and weave around eachother and apparently they are computer programmed to ajust the ride due to the weight of passengers etc so the dragons keep close together and travel at the same speed.
Duelling dragons is definately my favourite, very like Nemesis at Alton Towers (As someone else has already said) but a longer version with more inversions.

 chapter ii - geographical
The highest peak of all the mountains is known as the Summit of the Heavens, and legend says that at the top of this mountain lies the pathway between Pureland and Tobira.
At the far south-east of Pureland, past a large expanse of open grassland, is the territory of a warmongering tribe of dragon talasiths known as the Ketsuroko.
Their name, meaning "blood scale", originates from an old legend that a dragon talasith's strength can be measured by the colour of its scales, because strength is said to affect the colour of the blood, and that colour shows through the scales and causes the pigmentation.

 Pop Thought -- Kurt Wilcken
In another chapter, she uses the example of a crocodile skull to show, step-by-step, how to build a dragon's head where the horns, fangs and ridges grow naturally out of the structure of the head.
She talks about dragon characteristics and lore and relates the stories of several famous dragons of legend and their slayers, such as the one slain by the Greek hero Cadmus, and the dragon of St. George.
Througout Great Book of Dragon Patterns, the author maintains the Tolkienish pose that the dragons are real, and that the legends she relates are memories of actual living, breathing creatures.

 Coaster Trips: 2005: Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios Florida, Old Town (#2)
I had previously arrranged to meet Ian in front of Duellng Dragons (#432) at 10:00am, and making this deadline involved a somewhat undignified power walk across the park while George went off for a bit to make a phone call.
Dueling Dragons is, at the time of writing, the only dual tracked inverted coaster on the planet.
Both tracks would have made good inverted coasters on their own, but the duelling aspect adds a huge amount to the ride, so much so that I cannot help but wonder why a similar design hasn't cropped up somewhere else.

The best was Duelling Dragons, a double coaster where the two trains, Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon, set off at the same time and go through their tracks within a foot of each other at some points.
We went on each dragon two or three times to figure out which was more h4rdc0re.
Being in the front row on that first drop was pretty much worth the cost of admission all by itself.

 The Flying Unicorn, Islands of Adventure
The Flying Unicorn in the Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure is tucked away in a far corner near Duelling Dragons.
It is situated just beside Duelling Dragons, so is a very good option for anyone who is waiting for the more fearless members of their party to go and try out something that is a little less extreme!
The forest really helps to set the scene, but don’t pass through the queuing area too quickly or you will miss the opportunity to read the various signs which tell the story of how a wizard found a baby unicorn, and how it came to shed its horn.

Thorfinn was definately not fancying it much whilst queuing, and when he went on he disliked it a lot, as it was 'aflly wobbly'.
Another quick go on Duelling dragons, with Diane this time, who really enjoyed it.

 Dueling Dragons | Museum/Attraction Review | Islands of Adventure | Frommers.com
True coaster crazies will love the intertwined set of leg-dangling racers that climb to 125 feet, invert five times, and three times come within 12 inches of each other as the two dragons battle, and you prove your bravery by tagging along.
This coaster sports a tighter track with quick banking turns and sharp twists, making the ride somewhat jerky -- far from the smooth and fluid experience of the Hulk.
The Fire Dragon can reach speeds up to 60 mph, while the Ice Dragon has a top end of only 55 mph.

One of these coasters is Duelling dragons, which is two roller-coasters rolled in to one.

 Future Shock - Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
The novel takes place in the 19th Century, and concerns itself with two English magicians, Gilbert Norrell and Jonathan Strange, who set about to restore English magic.
Far from throwing fireballs and duelling dragons, Norrell and Strange are beset by much more mundane challenges: the battle for English magic is one of reputation, so the main obstacles to the main characters' goal are English society and etiquette...
Though it might not sound breathtaking when summed up like this, the main strength of Susanna Clarke's novel is actually in this formidable restraint she demonstrates throughout the book.
