just a few parts of the coaster are enclosed, I believe.

Building. But then themed to not look like a building I'm guessing, if that makes sense.
As has been previously discussed here, 3 parts inside, one of which is bigger than the others.
That was the plan, yes. The rumor is that they decided to enclose the entire ride. Looks like they have the space to do it and it would certainly look more aesthetically pleasing than another roller coaster next to Hogsmeade.

Uhhh. That rumor started from an unreliable site. I'm going with Alicia's info. She's been right on so far.

I seriously doubt that. That’s a drastic, completely unnecessary, and logistically nightmarish shift. You don’t leave bare ground and plant trees inside for something of that scale.
It will not be enclosed, only some show scenes
Also, you wont be seeing too much from Hogsmede...Certainly not as much as DD
Can't see the forest for the trees. :bolt:

No you cant compare the two, but it's safe to say I think this ride will surpass both sumulators in swge. And to add to that I heard before that this dis/uni war will continue until one just gives the death blow, I think the death blow has already been given, and star wars will be amazing but...
**I'm alluding to diagon not hp coaster**

Universal knows they can't compete with Star Wars opening, but they can do what they can to keep some eyes on them next year.
Now that I’ve sobered up a little I can’t even remember the reason for posting this.
The great thing about the current landscape in Orlando is that we’re living in a tit for tat world.
Universal would have responded with Nintendo to SWL but things have obviously changed. I think Disney will get a few blows in with Tron, Guardians and SWL but will be cancelled out with the new park.
Regardless, it’s an exciting time to be an Orlando theme park fan and the next 5 years will see the biggest developments this millennium.

I forget, what was the latest completion dates of the d23 additions? Was it all by 2020?
2021 for all attractions, (but no date given for Star Wars Hotel.)

Ok..will be very interesting.
Back to topic, If you were to say (if not before) what would you say to speed would be for this hp coaster. At least 50? Maybe 40.
Not my expertise, but I would guess maybe ~40 to 45 mph at the most. It will have thrilling elements, but this isn't going to be a very intense ride.
I could be wrong though, there's certainly one part that might be faster, I'm just no coaster expert.
