Pyrrock and Blizzrock

[grizzlybarely]

I've been searching and searching and I haven't been able to answer this question. Where are the dragons named? I know for a fact Merlin did not mention these names during the stained glass preshow. Was there a plaque near the statues? Did Merlin mention it later? Was it just something one of the LC designers mentioned once during an interview? Any kind of lead or proof would be greatly helpful.

^ I believe jmercer is asking where the name occurred in the park. Who said that was the name of the statues and where was it stated in print in the park?

 

[Brian G.]

Oh...... whoops. Forgive me, it's still the AM.

I believe it was said in the pre-show/stained glass area.

I believe you are correct. Almost no one ever stayed for that pre-show.

This is the only video I could find, and it's pretty poor quality. But I can't make out where it would be said :shrug:

I have a full transcript of the stained glass pre-show and it's not mentioned there. I wonder though if it was mentioned in Merlin's rhymes through the rest of the queue; those "You've passed the point of no return. Your only choice: to freeze or burn!"

Oh cool! Any chance you could post that transript. These were the warnings I found while searching:

"Turn right for Ice and left for Fire! Now, pick the dragon you desire"

"The left burns hot, the right turns cold, whichever you choose, you'd best be bold"

"Past this point of no return, your only choice is freeze or burn"

"Turn left for Fire, turn right for Ice! I know not which is best advice"

"Earthworms and rancid beer, why on earth are you still here?"

"You do not listen to this old magician, and so you'll need a good mortician"

"If you continue along this path, you will face the dragons wrath"

I can post the transcript soon. I've also confirmed that their names are not in Merlin's sorcery book (the room after the stained glass).

Small update: It's not mentioned on the Choose Thy Fate sign or any past park maps. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I've been looking and looking and I've not found anything yet.

None of the riddles posted on the queue walls next to the corpses mention it, Merlin never says it in the queue, and it appears that the ride attendants never said it either. It's not mentioned in any of these quotes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_Dragons#Dueling_Dragons_era

The thing is it became a part of something just as strong. Lore. The actors playing Merlin would sometimes mention it among other creative design people talking about the attraction. It is a part of its mythos.

That being said, think of it this way...

the word Ewok is not mentioned once in the ENTIRE Star Wars saga.

True. I knew their name from the 1985 film, Ewoks: Battle for Endor.

That is a guilty pleasure of mine....I enjoy the nostalgia.

This thread only reminds me of how bare bones Dragons is now. Sad times.



Dueling Dragons - Theming - Dueling =?????

No luck with a 19-minute promo video from 1999 either. If it's lore, I might be emailing some higher-ups soon.

Can we ask why you need to know this?

Because I'm a theme park nerd and need to know everything about everything theme park related

 

[Rock'nRoller]

^ Nothing wrong with that!

Gosh, I miss Dueling Dragons.

It is possible that the construction crews named them that or that the company in upstate NY who created the statues named them in the workshop. A nickname can stick very hard, as I am sure some of you can attest.
