AAAAAAAAAAAAAAASDUHFAJSHD ok so i have a roller coaster obsession, right? yeah ok. i was just going through youtube a while ago and i just learned that universal is tearing out the dragon challenge at universal orlando... im so heartbroken. i loved that ride sm, even if i only had time to go on one of the two... it was so cool, and even though they havent run them dueling for about 6 years now, it was just so so frickin cool to see the tracks twisting around each other and everything and just uGH WHY DO THEY HAVE TO REMOVE IT?? i wanna hope that whatever they replace it with is more thrilling and is bigger and better, but from what ive read it wont live up to that.
i havent had an emotional breakdown in like a week and thats longer than normal so i guess my brain is deciding its time to be irrationally upset by stuff like this lmao

2 of my favorite shot glasses in my collection are the Dueling Dragons ones - the both have these pewter dragon heads on them, and one shot glass has red crystal eyes, and the other has blue crystal eyes. It is sad that they are tearing them out. I got to ride them back when they were duelung, it was pretty cool.

WHY ARE THEY GETTING RID OF IT I haven't even been on it (was too chicken one time and was extremely sick the other time we went and didn't want to risk it) but I'm still sort of upset bc that's sort of... THE Harry Potter ride in a way

Turin not Torino oh my god those sound awesome... i wish i was older so i could of at least seen them duel. i also dont know if theyre completely demolishing the ride or if they plan to pack it up and maybe sell it to someone else? that'd be nice. trickster ♥ that really sucks you never got to go on it,,, but exactly! i feel like theyre so much more prominent than escape from gringotts or whatever... i dont even see an expressly stated reason for getting rid of them, other than they want the land for something else (which, isnt a very good reason, considering how well known these coasters are)

My husband said they're getting rid of it, not moving it. Because Universal never closes down, it's one of the most constantly run roller coasters there is, and the wear and tear and being out in the Florida sun has just worn it out. Here are the shot glasses:

falconfire i cant remember which one i was able to go on when i visited... i get to go back over spring break of this upcoming school year and im so incredibly heartbroken it wont be there (( currently, i believe they're planning on getting an actual harry potter themed ride with dark ride elements, as the dragon challenge wasnt actually made to be harry potter themed (though i personally thought they did a great job with retheming to make it look like it belongs) lots of people are speculating that it'll have to do with fantastic beasts and where to find them.
