Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

[Alicia]

Thanks y’all! (My Nintendo vid will hit 1 million views today, and I’m kinda freaking out.) The Potter video has slowed down though, but hopefully gets a second wind during the week as people start goofing off and watch YouTube at work.

As for the round building. I think it may be a unique situation, and built differently than a regular structure. More like a gazebo with some walls, and not a concrete fully enclosed structure, if you know what I mean. I’m betting a different crew is building that one, that will also be constructing other themed elements for the ride that can’t be built until track is in place. My guess anyway.

The video just made me super excited for the whole thing. I am so interested at how Universal make such a themed coaster outdoors with show scenes but I also think it will massively increase re-rideability because of weather and time of day to see it in a new light, as it were. I actually only saw it on my recommended feed so it is finding its way around! I'll have to make sure to subscribe!

Nice layout. The covered bridge near the end may actually be a really good guess.

Wonder where he got the rumored info though? Hehe.

The Nintendo video that still says KidZone? You might want to update that for those million people.

The ride descriptions are likely still accurate, just the first 20 secs aren't. I will do a new one... if we ever get new info.

I thought we have.

Again, it still may go into KZ. We don’t know yet. We just have to wait for that Nintendo announcement to be sure.

But we should probably talk about that in another thread.

Nah.

 

[Imperius]

No. Just pure speculation.

One post above you.

 

[Magic-Man]

Nah.

Probably not, but we don’t know at this point.

This is Universal we’re talking about. Plans seem to change every two weeks.

:thumbsup:.Nice find....They did a decent job utilizing Alicia's info and layout.

That was pretty awesome. He certainly took what @AliciaStella has said and ran with it. Really cool video and quality.

Although, the banking will obviously be more extreme, and the launches faster. But otherwise, the creator did a great job!

That video makes me wonder if we'll have on board audio on the ride or not..

Maybe? If they want to have music the whole ride, then yes. If not, then location specific speakers should be enough...

Who're we kidding? This is a Potter attraction, of course it'll have on-board audio! (The only one that doesn't is Flight of the Hippogriff.)

I would assume you will have Hagrid narrating the journey for you in your ears if he is your guide? Do we know if Robbie Coltrane is signed on to do this? All this speculation is getting me excited for it. I have a good feeling about this coaster.

I wouldn't assume that he will be talking to us the whole time. We're going to pull up next to him in one of the scenes, so I can see him giving us a preshow briefing, and then saying he'll meet us out there.
