Duelling Dragons - Islands of Adventure 

This is one of the most amazing roller coasters I have ever experience. It is actually 2 coasters, Fire and Ice, which run side by side. At one point you really do feel as though you are going to hit the coaster next to you. You almost do. You are just 12 inches away. A must ride Orlando attraction if you love roller coasters.

Dueling Dragons (Ice) rollercoaster

Here's what it's like to ride the rollercoaster Dueling Dragons (Ice) at Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando, FL. Notice how Ice almost collides with Fire at about 44 seconds in. Sorry it's so shaky, but it's hard to hold a camera still while on this coaster!
