I'm just wondering that w/the addition of SheiKra, will BGT have better maintenance for their rides? The main ride that I'm talking about's Gwazi. When will the ride ops of Gwazi have both sides dueling again? I can't wait to go to BGT in a lil less than 3 weeks, but I really want Gwazi to be dueling when I visit. I've researched a lot about how Gwazi's not dueling anymore b/c of the slow ride ops that they've got running Gwazi & the fact that Gwazi's not dueling anymore increased the loading time. I really think that they should have Gwazi duel by now. BGT can improve a lil bit for their ride maintenance the same way that Six Flags Great Adventure did since the addition of Kingda Ka.

I agree with FLA8 the ride will still be excititng without the dueling part but it probably wont be as exciting as if you were dueling.

Although it seems like if that was the original intent of the coaster, thats the way they should run it.

I dont think i ever seen gwazi duel,It would be interesting to see,but if you want to see a real fun duelinfg coaster go 85 miles east of tampa and duel with the dragons.Especially in the front row it makes the ride alot better(with any dueling coaster)

Lightning Racer gets so much excitement from the racing/dueling aspect. I've never been on Gwazi while it was dueling, so I'm not sure if it's the same, but from the looks of it it doesn't have as many parts where the trains come together

When I went to the park at christmas time they did not have it racing. They were running all of the trains which made for great capacity.  Anyhow, On one of my rides I asked the ride op checking my restraint if we could duel with the other train since it was almost ready too. She shouted something to the other operators and they raced! I was extremely happy. They ended up dueling it for the rest of the day.
So, I guess there's hope.

I agree dueling does add alot of excitement to the coaster,ive seen gwazi duel before,and it makes the trip alot funner.Hopefully lion and tiger will duel once again.
