When you ride Fire, definitely ride in the back row. I've sat in every row and the back is intense. You can see every near miss and feel the most pull from the back.

Simply the best of the two coasters. I LOVE the "fly-over" and greater speed than the Ice Dragon.

Fire is better then Ice. And I would know, seeing how I ride both all the time. I also know hot to cut the line using baby swap...

If anyone likes ice more than fire they are stupid
all ice does is swing around to meet up with fire
the first drop on fire is pretty cool in the front row too

This ride was good. It didn't thrill me as much as people like to point out. Raptor, Talon, and Great Bear are so much better.

A little better than Ice. I love all the near misses. One of my favorite rides.

Fire is much better then ICE is. The way how they weigh the trains to make the timings for the near misses is nice.

Fire's two immelmans are very intense. I always grey out on the helix after the second immelman. Overall, best theming on any ride, anywhere. Fire is slightly better than ice.

Ice was slightly better, and Amusement park today, voted it better, that has to account for a lot.

Ice is clearly better than Fire, IMO. Fire, like someone said, just goes around the course to meet up with Ice it seems. I mean what is up with that second drop it has? It just seems so out of place to me. Fire is also a little rougher than Ice. Overall it is a good ride, but I just liked Ice a lot more. Also the timing seems to be off with both coasters now. The "near misses" are not very near at all anymore. Maybe age is slowing the coasters down at different speeds, I dont know. But they are not meeting up like they used to from years earlier.
