Best dueling?

What's the best dueling coaster you've made? I've recreated Dueling Dragons a few times and actually got the timing right in all three places once. It was really awesome and exciting! But the best dueling coaster I have ever made was a dueling inverted/corkscrew coaster. It was so awesome! The near hits were scary-looking because you'd think your feet would get chopped off or you'd lose a head! They both went up lifts, and at the top, they turned away like DD and dropped. The inverted went into an Immelman, and the corkscrew went into a cobra roll. The first dueling part was both coasters turning right next to each other. They split apart, and the inverted did a turn while the corkscrew did a sidewinder. They headed towards each other and did vertical loops, which wasn't as impressive as DD's, but the timing was perfect. They headed away from each other, turned, and headed for the final dueling point. The inverted coaster did a zero-g roll and the corkscrew did a corkscrew over the zero-g roll. That was extremely hard to time right, but I got it perfect after a while. They headed back to the stations after that, both did a single helix, and then into the brakes. Great coaster. If I had RCT with me, I'd post pics, but I can't. Anyone have good descriptions of duelers they made or pics?

I have made several dueling coasters. My favorite is called Batman and Robin. I recreated Batman the ride at Six Flags and then I designed Robin to weave in and out of it. They have different designs, several near misses and they end at the same time. It is my favorite. My other favorite is a triple racing corkscrew coaster called Earth, Wind and Fire. They have identical layouts with 5 inversions each. It is awsome to watch!
