Was there ever any substance to the rumour that the dragons that used to sit out front are now residing in the IOA lagoon?

Yeah I’m guessing no.

That is a long rumor that is untrue...The IOA lagoon is like 6 feet deep so they would poke out a bit

None at all.

 

[Mad Dog]

None at all.

Rumor is they are in the harbor of Bar Harbor, Maine.

But it is true that the submarines of 20K Leagues are buried on WDW property just west of the MK. They have a landfill there.

There’s a video on the UOAP FB page I can’t share of the demolition from a news channel. They’re wasting zero time. This has to be some kind of a record with the speed they’re going at.

Hulk came down pretty fast too, didn't it? I pretty much expected this.

I also did ...but why not sell peaces of it (like Disney)I want one!

If they were to sell pieces of it, it would slow the whole process. They just want to throw this thing out and start from scratch.

I think this is coming down faster given that it's two coasters but then again, Universal don't need to worry about damaging footers as it's all going nor is it over a populated area like MSHI which means they can work 24/7.

If they were to sell pieces of it, it would slow the whole process. They just want to throw this thing out and start from scratch.

They can still rip out the coaster and sort it later.

This is coming down faster than Hulk. With Hulk they had to be careful about the surround areas. With DC, they pull the backhoe in and just pull it down. Rip, tear, shred!

Can Disney go back to building a dueling dragon roller coaster now?

Dragon's Tower (if that's what you're referring to) wasn't a dueling coaster, though. The only thing it and Dueling Dragons had in common were that they were inverted coasters themed around dragons/castles. Except that DT was gonna be a bit more elaborate with themeing and AAs on the actual ride (whereas DD/DC became a naked steel coaster once you got out of the queue line).

Of course, I'd love for TDO to go back and revisit and revitalize Dragon's Tower and the rest of Beastly Kingdom, finally fully fullfilling AK's mission as a park to celebrate animals real, extinct and imaginary and giving actual meaning to the dragon in the logo, but alas, it doesn't fit with Disney's current "WE NEED IPS EVERYWHERE" mandate, and now we have Pandora in its place.
