Matt Korn has confirmed that the dragons will never “duel” before they close the attraction, apparently very senior people were asked and said no. Also a lot of TMs seem to say that the software was changed so they can never physically duel.
I don't believe in the 'software change' garbage. All you do is dispatch them at the same time. Plain and simple.
I would believe the word about the senior high ups not allowing them to duel though. Guess they don't want to take any chances.
Sad. One last day of dueling would be fitting.
How I wish Sea World would buy these coasters from Uni since they're just gonna trash it...(I'm still angry over Uni trashing Disco H2O and Black Hole...and Jaws and BTTF!)
Well my understanding is the system used to measure and pace the trains up the lift so they would duel.
With the update, it merely makes sure that they don't. Not unable to be undone, but it's specifically working to avoid the trains doing so.

(Apologies for off-topic) IMHO Universal is missing out big time if they don't build a Potter themed hotel. It doesn't even have to be on the scale that this Star Wars experience hotel will be, but imagine the possibilities. Rooms laid out like dorms and common rooms, bath robes are Hogwarts robes, you turn the bedroom lights using "Lumos" as a voice command. I dunno, I just think that would be pretty awesome. I read the books as a child/teen and I would consider myself a fan and would love that experience. I am not a die-hard though, so imagine how much those folks would lap it up. It is a logical step to make financially, I feel.

***cough***Leaky Cauldron***cough***
I'm all for theming but leaky cauldrons aren't great for cleanliness...
Or as you previously hinted, "Drippy Pot"...So, wonder if it will make it from an idea stage to a real live greenlit hotel?
While the Leaky Cauldron would fit the storyline better as a hotel, I don't know how they'd ever actually fit it in to Diagon at this point. No real room to build a new building. Even if there was, theres no real way to get you on and off property to it after hours besides taking you through a lot of team member areas backstage. The DC plot is much more accessible as they could make an entrance directly off Turkey Lake.
Maybe a part of the huge queue for the Hogwarts Express in London could be reclaimed for that? I never, ever seen it full (thankfully).

This hasn't been mentioned- but is there a potential to make this a VR coaster?
I'd hate that on the surface, although I'd be interested to see if Uni/WB could elevate it to something we've never seen before?
Again- not thinking this would happen- but just tossing out the idea. Everyone would hate it, right?

Perhaps someone could tell me wrong, but where the overhead is (with the railroad sounds), how sturdy is that? I think if they theoretically want to do a Leaky Cauldron hotel, perhaps they could strengthen that and put in the rooms? Just a thought, mind you; but if they are seriously considering it, I can only see that or extend a bit into backstage.
They'd be crazy not to. Uni seems to always want to 1up Disney these days, I'd be amazed if it's not at least on the table, especially with SW hotel in the works.
