Dragon Challenge - Hungarian Horntail

Universal Islands of Adventure, United States

Overview

Closed / Removed

Dragon Challenge: Hungarian Horntail was one of two inverted roller coasters at Universal's Islands of Adventure. It ran on the blue track.

The ride originally opened in 1999 under the name Dueling Dragons and operated as a dueling coaster, themed around Fire and Ice dragons. In 2010, it was re-themed to match the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter and renamed Dragon Challenge: Hungarian Horntail. However, after several incidents, the dueling feature was discontinued in 2011, and the trains were sent out separately.

Dragon Challenge closed in 2017 and was replaced with Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
