Incredible Hulk Coastersm -- Guests are shot out of a 150-foot-long tunnel at 40 mph and immediately go weightless in a zero-G roll ... this is the same thrust as in a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet. Experience a cobra roll, a 360-degree high-speed spiral, double loops and two corkscrew turns. The coaster's largest drop is 105 feet, with speeds of more than 60 mph.

Dueling Dragonssm -- The world's first inverted dueling roller coaster, Dueling Dragons is actually two separate and intertwined roller coasters. Each track, Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon, is a different layout. There are three "near misses" where the coasters come to within 12 inches of each other. You will experience one Immelman curve, one camelback hill, one 70-degree inclined loop, two vertical loops, one cobra roll, one zero-G roll, one corkscrew and two interlocked corkscrews.

Come see for yourself ... there is something for everyone at Universal's Islands of Adventure, from the youngsters who love Dr. Seuss and cartoon characters to adults wanting the adventure of "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost Continent." These are once-in-a-lifetime adventures ... creating memories that will last a lifetime.
