Future of Dragon Challenge?

I think you're going to be like riding on the brooms or something along the lines like that.

If a HP expansion did happen, would there be any limitations about what could get built with it's proximity to Hogwarts? My knowdlege of HP isn't good at all but if a coaster was to be built, could it be based around the Forbidden Forest? Given the forest location, possibly a RMC?

I doubt this is demolished within the next five years at least. Universal has other priorities on there mind, such as the third park, NintendoLand, and the WnW property.

Wouldn't you have said the same thing about Hulk a while ago?

If they think it's time, it's time.

I think you misunderstand what I meant. I believe the ride will be rebuilt but not completely gotten rid of.

 

[Fatality]

Get rid of it.

I'd rather see it gone than be thoroughly frustrated every. Time. Because of it not dueling.

Also? That tremendous front entrance they scrapped. Just makes me upset.

I wouldn't mind a re-build and re-do the theming in the queue and on the ground. I think having near misses built into the ride would be awesome and really change the coaster. I think changing the colors and the cars would be good too. I don't know that I want it removed. But a great hall dining option would be awesome. However I don't think it can be done properly and that is probably why it has not been done yet. Getting food to appear on the table would be what sets this place a part and that is just not something that can actually happen.

There are ways..just like any great magic trick get an illusionist to come up with a design...however it would have to be an all you can eat family style dining.

If it were to be removed for a dark ride, I'd be all for it. If it were to be removed for another coaster of similar scale, it doesn't matter to me; I'm not big on coasters with inversions, so I likely wouldn't ride it any more frequently than I do Dragon Challenge... which is to say never!

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

I've been thinking about this today, how sad would you be if Dragon Challenge got the axe?

The coaster is a shadow of what it once was. When they were duelling, they were great but individually, I don't think they're anything special and they're taking up a lot of valuable real estate in the park. With Hulk recently needing a rejuvenation, I don't know how great of a shape the coasters are in.

If it meant that a new coaster could be put in the area or a big expansion for Harry Potter, would you take it?

It doesn't duel anymore. It needs to go. I'd welcome more Harry Potter creativity once Forbidden Journey is to intense to ride.

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Two dark rides could go in that space.

I mean, wouldn't a brand new ride that none of the other Hogsmeades have make ours special too?

(To be clear, I don't know what's going on here, have just heard something big is up for DC)

Yup. This is what I was referring to in another thread

Which I would be fine with. I think Universal needs one of these. Do they have any buffet or all you can eat family style places now? I know I haven't been to any. These are pretty popular over at Disney, I imagine they would be a big hit here too.

I just checked. There's about 6 acres to play with.

Assuming two show buildings are built up you could replace those two coasters with a ride or two.

If universal destroys 2 coasters and replaces them with a family-style buffet i will go SINGLE WHITE FEMALE on their guest services department.

 

[Brian G.]

Keep in mind of that little rumor that JK accepted Dragon Challenge for what it was and let it slide during initial Phase 1 planning.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Now im bad with the Potter stuff and remember names of places but if Dragons do leave and they wanted to expand that are with a whole new land, what would fit thematically to what would be there in the Potter world?

I am pretty sure that it would not just be a place to eat. They don't need 6 acres for a place to eat lol I imagine people are just saying what they want which is a dark ride and a sit down restaurant.
