IOA's Dueling Dragons Duel No More
Not the coaster!! As of now it's still roaring right along in Lost Continent at Universal's Islands of Adventure.
But the Blue and red dragons that graced the entrance to the ride are gone in preparation for their replacement, which will be .... well, I wish I knew.
Ah well, no pain, no gain.

Harry Potter Makes Attractions Disappear
From the Universal Orlando web site:
Some people are upset by the loss of the Enchanted Oak menu. My guess: It will be pretty much the same after the restaurant has been Potterized. Ditto for Flying Unicorn: same ride, different themeing.
Of course I may be wrong, but then I'm no wizard.
BTW, word on Dueling Dragons is that there will be a new entrance while the existing queue line is being rethemed.
A portion of Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure has been closed as work progresses on Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Guests will use a newly created bridge to walk between Lost Continent and Jurassic Park. Specific attractions and venues affected include The Flying Unicorn attraction, the Enchanted Oak restaurant and The Dragon’s Keep store. Dueling Dragons will remain open.
