Perhaps we shouldn't be thinking of Hagrid's Side-car and more looking it as a series of Sidecar's?
Wouldn't that mean we're travelling sideways?

They have one of those in front of the butterbeer cart. You just can't see it! :grin:Ive been saying thestral carriage since the beginning. And since they're invisible to muggles that solves that problem. Of course I would love to see a thestral AA in the ride so not sure how that would work

Being a muggle or not has nothing to do with if you can see thestrals. You can only see them if you witnessed death (seen someone die).Except they make a lot of money selling gear and wands to people so that they aren't muggles.

I'd hope there's only a smaller percentage of theme park goers that applies to.
The burning question of the day :hail:I know a wizard can't see one until they see death, but if a muggle sees death, they can see a thestral?
It’s a good in universe explanation for an animal like the Jersey Devil.I know a wizard can't see one until they see death, but if a muggle sees death, they can see a thestral?
Sweet. There’s one silver lining- I can see a thestral.Being a muggle or not has nothing to do with if you can see thestrals. You can only see them if you witnessed death (seen someone die).

You guys aren’t giving JKR/WB/UC enough credit here. The day they introduce something that isn’t jaw-dropping and expectation-surpassing, is the day we can start worrying. They have my trust.
They could easily do a hagrid motorcycle with a sidecar. Preshow could even have hagrid in it explaining that it’s a magic “driverless” motorcycle- and to fit all the people in the room they’re going to cast an “xyz” spell that makes the sidecar bigger. Then you see them cast the spell and the sidecar grows (all on screen/projection). There- no “worry” about riding in a motorcycle- and no “worry” that being in a giant sidecar (which will just be a “normal” roller coaster train) breaks reality.
To go one further- hagrid could tell us all that in a pre-show- and instead of the sidecar growing on screen- they could do a much more impressive “slight of hand” watching the actual train/car grow via visual deception a la platform 9 3/4.
And this is me coming up with it. So if I can come up with an easy idea- you don’t think that flippin JK Rowling can come up with something? Come on y’all.

I do not think they will require lockers. But I wouldn't be surprised if they keep the station, as optional lockers, and as overflow for FJ. I've used them for FJ to avoid them mess inside personally.So... a thought just occurred to me. How much do you bet they don't change the locker situation at all from DC, and still require lockers from the absolutely puny locker station?
If they have to keep that awful locker system maybe it could move up to that gigantic queue building. There was no worse feeling than realizing you have to go all the way back to the lockers once you'd walked all the way up there.I do not think they will require lockers.

I'm guessing, that due to the design of the coaster, that it won't have the restrictions that DC had. So, short of backpacks, there'll probably be no need to use the lockers. ...Just guessing on that, though.If they have to keep that awful locker system maybe it could move up to that gigantic queue building.

Even that is stupid. When I go on Rock n’ Roller coaster at Disney I’m allowed to put my backpack under my legs and no one ever gives me trouble. On a ride that goes upside down. I don’t know why Universal is so difficult. In fact, I can’t think of a single ride where they force me to use a locker.I'm guessing, that due to the design of the coaster, that it won't have the restrictions that DC had.

Disney takes over the ownership of their rides and can make their own rules regarding the operation of their attractions. Universal abides by the manufacturer's instructions.Even that is stupid.

One area where Disney is really ahead.
