Harry Potter's effect on Dueling Dragons

Screamscape has reported on their website that the HP construction may cause the closure of Dueling Dragons for 5-6 months. If you're planning a visit to IOA during the construction you might want to keep an eye on this story to see if it does affect DD.

I can't say I'm surprised.... The coasters are going to be part of the Wizarding World, so I'm sure they'll need to put some new theming in the queues.

The Grand opening “is targeted to occur in or about December 15th, 2009 but may occur as late as June 30th, 2010."

Well, crud!!! We will be there just a week or so earlier!!! What a bummer!!!
I sure hope that we will still be able to ride Dueling Dragons - my DH that ride (but then he pretty much loves any roller coaster!!!).

What, if anything, would be different? The Dueling Dragons as it stands right now (not having ridden them) would fit PERFECTLY (with a few minor adjustments) into the Wizarding World! Remember when Hagrid hatched a dragon in Prisoner of Azkaban? (don't quote me on that, haven't read it in a while)

I don't think there will be changes to the ride itself from what I've read. The queue line may be adjusted to fit into the HP theme. But DD is located right in the middle of the construction area. Screamscape.com said that a new walkway between JP and Mythos would be built during the construction which would cut off access to DD. Of course this is only rumor at this point. Maybe DD won't be affected at all!

Hey, centerpiece! That sounds awfully cool, even though I liked the first 3 HP books and not the other 4.
