You start by getting on either a red or blue track. The red track is known as Chinese Fireball and the blue track is known as the Hungarian Horntail. The theme of the ride is that you're dueling each other to a dragon battle from the Triwizard Tournement like in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
