Well I think most know me for being a diehard Duel lover
This season the ride has been looking stunning! The reduction in targets, repairing of scenery, modified audio, and many more improvements have all been great
There is still quite a lot of work to be done, but what is there is a step in the right direction. Personally, I'd like to see MACK Rides called in to completely overhaul the ride system, and redo the spacing system. Even though Duel is a seriously complex and high tech ride system (Yes, even after all these years!) I'm willing to bet a lot of improvements could be made by implementing new technology into it. It's a bespoke system, and is very unique, so I'd be willing to bet someone could make changes to improve it.
Themeing wise, if the second dining room demon could be fixed, some of the new lighting which has already broken (I.E. The lighting which pointed at the falling turret before the trommel is no longer working), and possibly some more fan heaters added to the furnace it would complete the ride in it's current state. I'm sure all of those would be low cost options.
There is endless potential, and I'd love to see the ride team given a nice big budget and be left to run wild. I know there are some seriously talented people who work with that ride, and have heard some of the ideas they have had from many key people involved with the park. It's time Towers let them realise it, and give them the chance to create a new experience for guests
