One of the most iconic coasters in Florida, a unique coaster where the Hulk roars and riders launch up to the ride.
It has a launch that shoots riders up to 40 mph in 2.5 seconds at a 45 degree angle, and contains 7 inversions, a barrel roll, loops and corkscrews, at a top speed of 67 mph, which is typical for a roller coaster.
Part of it goes underground, which is a special treat for thrill seekers.

A famous coaster that is known for riders selecting songs before they go up a 90 degree lift and drop nearly vertically and go through many twists, almost making inversions, but not quite.
The top speed is 65 mph, which is like the speed of a car on a highway, and it's notorious for its rough side.
Riders are jerked throughout the rough track and their heads are banged onto the seats and they're not padded.

The 2nd Duel-tracked Roller Coaster on Universal property.
There are 2 versions, the Cylon and the Human.
On the Cylon, guests hang on an inverted track at 51 mph, and on the Human, guests sit down like on most coasters, traveling at 56 mph.

The 1st Duel-tracked roller coaster on Universal property and in the world after Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom.
It was an iconic staple at Universal Orlando.
Riders were hung on inverted tracks and flung through the rides and nearly colliding with each other.
When it was Dueling Dragons, guests were throwing loose articles at each other and Universal had to stop the dueling and ban loose articles from rides, adding metal detectors and lockers and stuff.
So they renamed it Dragon Challenge, and people didn't like it as much as before.
Still, it was a thrilling ride for Universal fans, the Chinese Fireball and the Hungarian Horntail were 125 feet tall and CFB reached top speeds of 60 mph while HHT was 55 mph.
Thrill level: 7.5/10
The iconic drop ride at Universal, 2 drop towers.
The main thrill of this ride is the anticipation, and never knowing when the ride is gonna start.

Guests are left chilled to the bone.

It's so intense and cannot be described. It has 2 launches, 1 at 50 mph and another at 70 mph. A 150' top hat that whips you and "mososaurus" roll that literally feels like you're flying and falling at the same time. Plus the theming is out of this world like you literally think you're under attack by velicoraptors. No other ride at Universal has taken a life out of people like me, so this's getting a 10+ out of 10 for all of you on this list.
