The trench through the kitchen will be really easy, same with obtaining the magma lava. The hoses can just be screw pumps.

The hard part will be simulating those helicopters...I'm thinking dwarves dumping buckets of water into a "pond" to simulate water bombs or something would work for that, maybe...

I really should be studying for my upcoming final exams...nah. This is more fun.

Maybe you'll get lucky and a herd of dragons will stop by?  They make nice helicopters, they even are equipped with a sort of ranged weapon.

Can you mod it so dragons spew water instead of fire? Because A.) that would be SO SWEET and B.) It'd work perfectly.

The breath weapon should be able to use any materiel. So yes, they should be able to spew water.

Chain them up over opposite ends of a chasm and have an obsidian farm as they spew at each other.

I think the major question is how do you get them to spew at the same time.

Well yea, getting a dragon to spew isnt that big of an issue. Its till a timing issue.  I suppose the dragons be made immune to magma, so miss firing wont be an issue.

Wouldn't they turn each other into ☼obsidian statues☼ eventually?

Hrm. I would be surprise if breath weapons will cause blow back from other breath weapons. I expect that obsidian will form on the tile that the water and magma touch.
