Dawson Duel is a double Wiegand Sport Coaster in Bellewaerde's Canada area, where two alpine coaster tracks race each other from 82 feet up.
Dawson Duel turns an alpine coaster into a race. Riders climb to the elevated launch point, board two side-by-side tracks and drop toward the finish at the same time. Because the brakes work automatically, the ride is less about controlling your sled and more about beating the cart next to you.
Dawson Duel begins at the top of a panoramic tower on an artificial slope, which sets it apart from alpine coasters that use natural elevation.
RCDB lists Dawson Duel as a double-track Wiegand Sport Coaster with 1,607.6 feet of track per side, an 82-foot height, a top speed of 24.9 mph, no inversions, a capacity of 800 riders per hour, a construction cost of 4 million euros and 40 cars seating 2 riders each. RCDB also notes that the ride starts on an artificial slope from the panoramic tower and uses automatic braking instead of rider-controlled brakes. Bellewaerde confirms the 82-foot height, 24.9 mph top speed, 800-riders-per-hour capacity, 2017 opening year, minimum heights of 3 ft 3 in with an adult and 3 ft 11 in alone, and its location in the Canada area. The official page lists a length of 1,476 feet, while RCDB states 1,607.6 feet per side.
In the Canada area, Dawson Duel is framed as a Yukon-style race: first the climb above the treetops, then a head-to-head sprint back down.
