Interesting items I see from that picture about the footers. Maybe this was already mentioned.

But there looks to me another track like ready footer family just above the retaining wall on the turn at the bottom..?

And is that a boat above that?

It looks like a boat I agree, but I think maybe it has something to do with construction.

I think we should alert the Pentagon.

The 2 pilings don't look very substantial, possibly for some sort of scenery.

Those lined up against the retaining wall may just be anchors for the wall to be buried.

I assume the boat is there to work around the retaining ponds when needed.

How they creating the pixie swarm?

I was told they're attacking the Anglia.

So if i'm seeing it right in the concept art, they'll be painting a forest mural on the sound barrier as well as the drop track show building.

Yup, I guess they're just going to do that as one of the last things (almost similar to when USH painted a tree mural on the Shrek 4D/DWT showbuilding prior to Hogsmeade's opening).

I would guess, they'd start work once they finish the mural for the Devil's Snare showbuilding.

Someone posted earlier that the height requirement will be 48". Is that confirmed somewhere? I haven't seen that reported anywhere as of yet.

"Guests will have to reach a height requirement of 48 inches to ride before boarding magical motorbikes that are specially designed to evoke the feeling of flight."

New details revealed for Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Universal Orlando

48 is actually pretty high for a "family" coaster.

I think they have backed off of calling it a family coaster. Unless i've missed it, I haven't seen them refer to it as that since that blog post last January.

Indeed!. It's the same as FJ and above the Gringotts 42"

If I'm not mistaken, they've backed off of it; but shifted towards it being the first time that Universal has tried doing a "Story-Coaster" in this scale.

Has the video of that interview with Robbie Coltrain been put up anywhere yet?

There's a CLEAR difference.

Universal has coined the term "show-coaster" whereas Disney is going with "Story-Coaster" for GotG.

Does Mummy not exist or something?

Does this have cardboard cutouts that are painted with UV?
