Dueling Dragons is better, the Hulk is fun for the first one or two times, then it isn't as good, but Dueling Dragons is consistently fun.

I much perfer Dragons. Hulk has a neat launch but then it just seems like a bunch of inversions strung together without much thought.

The fire dragon is the best.

If you're looking for speed (hulk) if you're looking for inversions, Gs, or the racing aspect it's Dueling Dragons (I prefer the Ice on myself)...

^While I can't quite say that, I can say that it's in my top 5, it's the best inverted coaster I've ridden, and that it beats the hell out of Hulk.

I couldn't agree more! The launch on Hulk is the only part of any of the coasters at IoA that i was extremely impressed with. However, the rest of Hulk is basically a slightly smoother Shockwave. I found Dueling Dragons (both of them) to be consistantly good throughout. While all decent in length, i wouldn't rank any of the three in my countdowns, they are all just average rides to me. Out of the Dragons, Fire is consistantly the better rated one in terms of first impressions, but after repeated rides, most will choose Ice as the better (Ice was my favorite). Definitely wait to ride them in front row too!!!!

A simple math equation is all you need to solve this one.
Dueling Dragons >>>>>> Hulk.
Hulk is fun don't get me wrong it just is matched up against a far superior ride in this topic of conversation.

I love Dueling Dragons. I haven't been on them in a long time but I prefer Ice over Fire but they are both fun. Hulk it gets old after awhile.

I honestly prefer the dueling dragons because when your on the hulk not much happens that is totally thrilling after the launch section...on dueling dragons it is great till the end with all sorts or elements...i think a better question would be which of the 2 dragons is better..I Prefer Fire...plus the queue line is cooler for the dragons i think if that helps in any way...FIRE

I would have to agree that Hulk isn't great after the launch. It just feels like a bunch of meaningless inversions. I can't get into that ride.
